Teecrooz’s Prop Collection: Updated: 22nd of December, 2023

[juajn7fernandez]

I was recently able to snag a set of Luke’s R2 cleaning tools from kurtyboy. They were a nice addition to my Luke ANH items.

I was also lucky enough to get in contact with a Canadian collector who agreed to split up his Warner & Swasey scope and case because they were a mismatched set. It’s hard to find a matched set because there are only about 25 cases and scopes known to still exist. The seller has maintained a database of all of the ones he knows of. After a few weeks of negotiation, we came to an agreement and I now have completed my search for all of the belt pouches. I am still having a custom belt made to then be able to put a full display together.

I will be taking some better pictures and listing my US W&S case in the junkyard later this week.

Yesterday I moved absolutely everything in the closet. Then half of it ended up right where it began because I could get get certain shelves to work.

Here’s where I’m at right now with what I can show. I had the door shut so I could spin around, but I added more light for the video in the next post, if it will let me post it. I will be removing the puck lights and wiring LED strips in the coming weeks. That will make a huge difference.

Hey teecrooz ! What are the two Batarang looking things between Chewie and Leia?

 

[teecrooz]

Those are El Toro shift knobs made by Cal Custom. They are the steering controls on the Millenium Falcon!

teecrooz, your collection is simply outstanding, and I always enjoy seeing your updates! The different display sections of these props look awesome. Maybe you could borrow some music from the playlist of newmagrathea and add some dangerous close-ups in future videos!

 

[teecrooz]

So, I couldn’t leave well enough alone, so I moved things again and wanted to see what it looked like with the figures put away (at least for a while). It certainly cleaned things up and game me some more room and options as far as where to put things. I also removed the remote puck lights in anticipation of the LED dimmable strips I plan on installing.

I'm kinda torn, as to which display I like better (not that my opinion is worth anything). Yes, having the 1/6th scale figures removed does open the display up. However, the way you had them incorporated into the display was not distracting to the props (other than the Maul & Luke ROTJ lightsabers, where the figures kinda did block &/or crowd the display). The way you had them displayed, I found to be complimentary to the props.
Can't wait to see the new lighting installed!

Looking great Chris!

Thanks guys! I’ve been wrestling with the display a lot. I like it both ways, but figured I’d see how this goes for a bit. I could always put them all in one larger alcove together or just wait until I finally finish the basement and have a whole room to spread things around. I’ve been getting some ESB found parts together and will need to branch out in that direction sometime.

 

[TatooineMachine]

Basement please, but until then please put the dolls back! My wife makes fun of me and my SW “dolls”. Really well done either way!

 

[teecrooz]

Not a huge update, but I received more acrylic risers and heads from Tom Spina. They gave the raw Vaders and a couple other helmets a much needed boost.

Vader helmets look much better on stands!

Everything is awesome, an absolute museum!

Thanks teecrooz ! I would never have guessed that. It looks like I need to spend a little time in the Millenium Falcon Cockpit Build Threads!

I wish you the best of luck finishing off your basement, and I'm looking forward to seeing the grand opening of TMOSA! <---- That's the Teecrooz Museum Of StarWars Artifacts!

By the way, I'm not sure I've ever asked, who are the Vader helmets' makers?

SL, TM, CIA, FL, VA, IRS?

The one on the left is a TM and the one on the right is a raw GS (#8) from CFO sskunky . I have some other things I could show you if you ever leave the perimeter and come over.

 

[Dann]

Yeah, I really need to come see ya, maybe when spring break comes around.

I need to look and see when that is!
