Showoff- Reverse Bear Trap from Saw!

[patsmear]

Now waiting for the doll. These were made by a guy called Tyler Hasslett.

The first pic is the trap and a pig mask like the one used in the film. I found out that the cat hates the pig mask!:lol

Holy crap Pat.

That is so cool.

Not a prop I would expect someone to either have or build.

The pig mask is from Don Post. They also do a Saw pig but the quality is not as sharp. A lot of people think that in the first film, it was this mask. I am not sure about that though.

I spoke with the guy that did some of the effects and he said he sculpted the mask but used the Don Post for reference.

I guess this will serve an an introduction, of sorts. I've been trolling the boards for several months waiting to join and being amazed at the quality of work I've seen. I could've used that time to prepare questions or posts and maybe snapped a few pics of my own, but sadly I'm now registered and completely unprepared.
But I must say, this Saw prop is quite impressive. Not sure what material its made from, but the painting and construction really give the impression of rough cut steel.
Being a fan of the series, several years ago I attempted the Venus Head Trap for a convention and Halloween. Attached is the result of that effort. Its the only decent picture I have at the moment, but now that I can post, I will try to get some more posted soon.

The Bear trap is resin with some metal parts.

Your fly trap is pretty awesome!

Thanks. I have to admit it is one of my better efforts. I'd still like to redo it now that I have access to a CNC router. Hand cutting all those parts was a pain, and duplicate pieces never quite match. Plus, I had to give it a really rusted, textured finish to help hide glitches. But overall I was happy with it.
I finally got some more pics taken that show some of the detail.

Excellent work, I love it. What material is it made from? What is the faceplate made of?

 

[BornKilr]

Thanks. The major part of it is made from sintra and the thinner pieces are styrene. There are a few metal bits, mostly nuts and bolts, a few joiners, and the nails. The face plate, both the outer and the removable inner sleeve are papier mache, but with thick wallpaper paste instead of flour/water. Its more durable and harder. The 'straps' criss-crossing on the outside of the face are styrene.

 

[patsmear]

Beautiful piece!

When you do a new one, let me know about the old one!

very cool stuff

Jaw Dropped!

It's not the most accurate but it's so far is One of a Kind. (Well I see another on yourprops.com but that was for a haunt and it was incomplete) Yours seems awesome I think the mask portion and nail portion is not a screen accurate shape but like I said this is one of a kind job.

This is something I've been wanting since the original was for sale! I found this via search. I have the RBT in this thread infact I helped in its creation. Screencapped the photo's for Tyler / made the crappy timer decal in paint lol.

Please do a run especially if machined. I'm currently working on a 3d file of the VFT possibly for pep but don't know anymore. I'm only a beginner to 3d modelling.

 

[BornKilr]

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, you're right about the mask portion being off. Since this was made as a Halloween/DragonCon costume, I molded the face part over a lifecast of myself to assure fit. I also had to make the nails removable (since they are real) so I could close the trap while wearing it.

Plus, it was really hard finding decent pictures of it, so I had to fake some of it. I'm considering making another one, if for no other reason that to prove to myself I can make it better. Depending on how it goes and if it looks like there's any interest, I may make more. Hell, the hardest part to find will be the analog stopwatch. I had that since I was a kid, and of course it stopped working the first night I wore it. I may have to go with a printed version.
