Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Star Trek - Small Project

Thanks Andy, it finally happened

----------------------------------


Still psyched up from the arrival of the Grand Nagus Staff ..... so I embarked on a small project

First up, a Klingon drinking mug, like this one

I already had the mug, but it was not the right colour / tone.

Fixed that now

(Before & after)

Next, the Klingon Bloodwine bottle

One can be seen in the screencap above.

Here's one of the originals that was on auction years ago.

And a few more screencaps.

Big thanks to Luke (Luke0312), I got an empty one of these in the mail this morning

.......... abracadabra, sim sim salabim & all that

On display ....

.... and to get in the mood a little

As somebody that has recently re-discovered trek, you are making me pine for props! Love that mug and bottle, what did you use for the bottle "ribbing"?

It's addictive

I used the box of a wine 3-pack.

.... long empty

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Star Trek - Small Project

I guess I'll be buying a 3 pack and some M. mix :lol

Alan, how did you get the gold finish on the Grand Nagus Staff Head? What specific paint did you use? Spray? Hand brush?

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Prop Room Expansion (Yes, it can be done LOL)

Here is the annual major prop room expansion (for some of you, straight out of Ripley's Believe it or Not :lol).

Made this shelving unit yesterday, and put it in an available space / hallway just next to the entrance in the main bedroom.

Transferred all our favourite DVD's from the prop room.

It's very convenient, as we don't have to go the prop room to get a movie every time (that's what the Mrs. believes anyway :lol).

... ta-dah :lol !

It'll take me some time to decide how to best allocate the free space (Remove shelves ? Make dividers ? Wall hanging space ? Musical chairs ? :lol).

One thing is certain - it'll take a looooong time to decide how to use it ........ and fill it :lol

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Prop Room Expansion (Yes, it can be done LOL)

I'm thinking smaller shelves, like the one next to it, so that it frees up a big wall space for more hanging of displays..

That is exactly my first thought too :thumbsup

I'd like to include a space like where the Johnny 5 is on the other side, to put some bottles.

Unlike the other side though, I can't remove the sides on this one, as it is supporting that black 'box', which is the back part of the housing in which the projector is in another room.

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Prop Room Expansion (Yes, it can be done LOL)

Take shelves out and make it a huge shadow box..

 

[Alan Castillo]

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - Prop Room Expansion (Yes, it can be done LOL)

Shelves will be removed for sure. Meh, it'll come to me.

I have half the fun just sitting on a chair in the room & thinking :lol
