PHArchivist's Media Room - A Tour

[PHArchivist]

Another batch...


Screen-used stunt sword from The Mummy Returns


Replica Scorpion King Sword from The Mummy Returns


Book of The Dead - I believe this was a Wakal kit I built and painted


O'Connel's Pistols, - VERY small, limited run from a member I can't recall, cast off a set of original French pistols

 

[PHArchivist]

Tired of all this yet?


Hammond Cane from a seller from Germany over ten years ago


On the left is The Patriot, bloodied on the opposite side to match the film. On the right is supposedly screen-used in Dances In Wolves, but I never found it going frame-by-frame; sourced from PiH


My favorite piece - from Propstore, one of two hero war clubs used by Russel Means in Last Of The Mohicans

More...?

A few more...


This and the next shot show off the rear speaker array. Note the vertical wall-mounted speakers. The surrounds were added a year or two ago, replacing ceiling mounted units. This season, I replaced the surround back channels with matching wall-mounted speakers.




So, as of now, all four of these ceiling speakers are inert - wired at the speaker, but not at the amp. Hoping someday an 11.2 Atmos amp is in my future!


A table I built of 4x4s, 2x4s, and cabinet-grade 3/4" ply. The books in front are "un-read". There is a full row in the back, "read", that includes Chronicles, Sculpting A Galaxy, and other standards of our hobby


And the audio rack. Yes - I am old school and those are CD players. A 200-disc and a 400-disc player. I had another 400-dsc unit given to me by my brother, but it seized after loading 60 discs. Better to do so earlier than later. And I have a second 200-disc unit I'm not using. Also in the rack is the Yamaha RX-A100, and three Blu-Ray players.

I love the Predator 2 spear tip hanging out of the vent!

Awesome collection, by the way. I hope to do something similar with my props in a media/theater area vs a man cave, someday.

Last set, I think...


And for those that have been welcome guests to my home, the biggest difference is the new wood flooring I put in this Christmas!

 

[Jedifyfe]

Been there. It's a great space. Looks good bud! BUT I prefer the garage.

You've seen it since I've redone it (the garage), right...? I'll do another thread on it later.

See that I moved the Falcon out for the flooring project? I actually have thought about bringing the globe inside, but I think its still too big.

I haven't been to your place in about 4 years.....Just saying...

Lovely collection in a really nice setting. Loving the wood floor. Must be so relaxing to kick back in that area!

Awesome!

Beautiful set-up, man! You've done yourself proud. (Now bring on the 'Garage' thread!) ;-)

Frank The Pug - always wanted to get a tux or I Love NY sweatshirt

Great stuff man! The tux is pretty easy to get. I got one on Amazon Prime for my dog when I dressed him up as Jules from Pulp Fiction.

Love the worm guy too. What's the story behind that?

 

[PHArchivist]

Thanks all...!

Couple of nit-picks - I've adjusted the speaker by the door so it is now truly vertical / parallel with the door. I've lowered the surround back speakers a couple inches so that the full surround array is more level. I do have homes for all the crap on the hearth. And the stack of blankets is unappealing. Oh well...

A hard one to tell, because I don't really recall the details. All I remember is that I got it from a non-RPF member (I think, anyway), and drove an hour and a half (from OC to the SF Valley, for the locals) to pick it up in person.

Not sure how I heard of it. May have been an eBay sale. Probably was.

Foam-filled figure. Still in pretty good shape but the foam has hardened a bit.

We'll have to remedy that!

It's kind of like touring Rancho Obi Wan. You see it, you are overwhelmed, and you kind of shake your head because you hear your wife complaining about your own measly collection.

Hey, it could be like this, you know.
Not happening.
But...
Not happening.
Not even...
No.

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Great collection and display.
Thanks for sharing it

 

[SciFiMuseum]

Very nice set up! Thanks for sharing.

 

[The Terminator]

How's that half Terminator coming along?
