I hyperlinked that one from the IMFDB Page. Did you post it there? If so, I apologize... didn't mean to step on your toes or anything.

Oh, okay. 
It is a good screencap.
How about the bayonettes... anyone know if the blades were custom-made or was it an existing knife that was used? It looks like something I've seen before, somewhere, but I can't place it. I may have seen a knife blade like that at the BudK website or something, but it's kind of a hunch. I'll dig around and see if I come up with something close. I may consider crafting one out of wood or resin if I can't find a close match.
Are there any replicas of the Century Arms AK bullpup? You can pick up a fully functional version at gunbroker.com for anywhere from $580 - $680, but it would be nice to not spend that much.

I have in storage and in need of repair the original DX15 planet killer. One of the first original props I ever bought and got it for a song. Shipping was killer and the guy who sold it to me recomended someone local. I paid for a crated foam packed ship and got a wardrobe box on a palette. The sphere was torn loose on one of the joints and the aluminum joint on one of the legs was fractured (clean but aluminum welding . . . and repair/weld to 1/32" steel where the mount pulled out). I have kept it all these years (at least 8) but never welded it, fixed it, or displayed it. It is a big daarn thing (4ft footprint due to the legs). The electronics are in place and there is a cable remote to activate the cooling rods and counter.
Still one of the most heartbreaking purchases I made. Should get around to getting it fixed one of these days but I have had several potential welders fall through.
