Rocky Horror Picture Show props?

Here are several shots of the AntiMatter gun that might help:

The gun is either fibreglass , plastic or resin. It is chrome finished but not clear if it's real chrome.

The best possible way to replicate this to build from sratch the same way the old one was but I am not clear how it was done. I do know that a replica can be made with bathroom fixtures available at Wal Mart at one time. It would require epoxy, a metal saw and a tube bender but it can be done for under $50....or maybe $75.

Basically the raygun is designed after the American Gothic pitchfork. Richard still has the prop (according the audio commentary of the film), but it doesn't have the lightning bolt or the pole that lead up to the lightning bolt was connected to like it did. The only thing that's left of it is the handle and the fork itself.

The gun is made to resemble a pitch fork, but is also designed similar to an old side handled batton. Someone mestioned it as gold, but it's actualy silver. Richard O'Brien was asked about this by a fan several years ago.
 
Well, since we're also covering a bit of Shock Treatment, I've got a little bit of a list of items that show up in the film. If anyone thinks I should post screencaps of these items, let me know. And I can look through RHPS for any other items that stand out that hasn't been listed yet.

From Shock Treatment
- The Times Magazine with the "Cult Movies" cover, with the iconic RHPS lips on it.
- The DTV Life Contract that Cosmo tries to get Janet to sign it.
- DTV ID badges.
- The "Brad and Janet Show" dossier that Bert Schnick gives to Cosmo and Nation (also the "Farley Expects" dossier with design sketch of Janet's Little Black Dress)
- Cosmo's glasses (which sort of looks similar to the iconic glasses worn by Tyrell in Blade Runner, but the middle portion of the lenses looks like they are more magnified than an actual lens),.
- Bert Schnick's sunglasses and walking stick.
- The DTV Alimony Envelope
- Silver and black Polaroid SLR 680 (used during the Shock Treatment song sequence, as well as the Lullaby song sequence before that)
- A digital alarm clock, white in color, manufacture listed on it is "Beta."
- The American Gothic painting (from RHPS)
- The It's Gotta Be DTV sign.
- DTV Clipboards (which is the easiest that can be done)
- Space Invaders/Space Invaders Part II Arcade Game (7 are featued in one scene, I'm not sure if its just Part II that is used for all machines or if its a mix, but one is certainly Part II, which can be seen in one of the shots during the Looking for a Trade song sequence)
-Farley Flavors baseball caps
-(a pretty big one for the driveway) a white 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible

There's a few others I could list, but I've decided to start with the ones that stood out to me by watching the film recently.
 
Here are some photos of the Riff Raff Laser I made about 20 years ago.. It is STEEL and very heavy.. But it was made to last many many performances.. And that it did.

Mind you it is not 100% accurate.. But i think it is great.

I love this work. It looks amazing. Have been trying to find someone who could make one. I have tried to make one myself, but I am no good with building, but can do circuitry.

. Any tips or tuts on how to make one??

Seriously, every outfit is worth collecting from it xD!

It makes me think I have been to the 40th anniversay show in the UK, A MUST SEE if you're living in the UK, the BEST live show of RHP I've ever been to!!! Everything is live! (There's a band on top of the stage :p)

I went on a tour backstage for the anniversary tour in August! I nearly had a fit when I was looking at all the costumes up close! :D I have a few things from the movie, nearly a complete floorshow outfit - just missing the actual corset part!
