STAR WARS - Skeleton Crew props & costume

[nickytea]

Here's my first pass at a replacement label for the walkie. (Will update as additional reference becomes available.) I made a few decisions based on a theory: I think the existing code key button was originally going to be used, and the two square buttons were a late addition, potentially obscuring part of the graphic underneath.

And here's a link to a vector PDF print sheet with different bleed options.

The clam shell thing looks like a hand crank flashlight.

Oooh nice!

Editing. Kinda sorta but not this exactly...
This maybe? Thoughts?

I like that

Let's look at this device, from another point of view. To me, looks more like an old mp3 player. Not telling you that's a mp3 player, but I do see that given the shape. I am also looking for another perspectives.

Looks like a birth control container to me…

I mean, we don't know when blue space elephants hit puberty.

The screenshot feels very tape measure-y to me.

The walkie antenna appears to only be connected by one wire — makes me think that replacing it with a telescoping version, it might be possible to preserve functionally.

(Also, I removed and am currently scanning the metal label plate flat so that we have a 1:1 scale template to work from for the replacement graphic. Stand by.)

Just got mine in too and I LOVE that fact that the Xmit/Receive indicator is analog - it just slides the checkered square sideways into the window as a pretend "light" to indicate which is which.

That appears to be a Rio PMP300 MP3 player.

This is such a simple conversion but it reads so well both from a SW aesthetic AND a Goonies/1980s nostalgia aesthetic.

Any ideas for Neel's belt greeblies?
Left:
GoPro?
Motorola flip phone?

The thingy on the right resembles a slightly engreebled clip-on action/body camera. Not this exact model, just something that showed up in search results with a similar form factor:

On the left, unsure what the box-with-BNC-looking-doodad-below is, but if it helps in identifying any subparts, Captain Brutus has something similar on his belt (with lights!), as does Urkel (with the doodad turned sideways). i.e. if we solve one, it might solve the others as well:

At this point, without a great refence, could be anything, even made up by prop dept.

I swear I’ve seen that before. It looks like one of those vintage tape measures with the flip out crank handle to reel the tape back in.

 

[the.rebel.agent]

You mean like this one? I think you nailed it

 

[the.rebel.agent]

I also think they emulated an UNIVAC vintage computer. Couldn't find any specific model that resembles that shape

 

[the.rebel.agent]

Comparing profile, shapes, and details, I strongly confirm this match.
PS: Not sure about the size: Could be 100ft or 50ft? Don't have any visual guide to compare size with
PS: Is it possible that case size is the same between both models?

 

[Halliwax]

Son of a gun that’s it!

I am wondering if the walkie talkie antenna attachment could be something like this...

Antenna Base Cone Fitting​

Antenna Base Cone Fitting – Parker Pumper Helmet, Co.

It also looks like they may be trying to mimic a "Center Load CB Antenna"
