A quick little fun project I started to work on this week.
A couple of years ago I got two stark phone replicas from rpf member propalooza. There were two versions of the phone, a static version with engraved logos that I currently have on display and a version that is meant to show the graphics we can see during the senate hearing in Iron Man 2.
Unfortunately the graphics propalooza provided weren't exactly movie accurate (he picked them from rejected versions made by Perception for the movie) and I quickly damaged the one he provided anyways. Meaning I never displayed this version of the prop and it was just seating in a box for quite a while.
Last week I was inventoring some of the items I got that weren't on display (thinking about selling some of them since I will move in a few months and need to trim my stuff down a bit) and I came across the phone. At first I just thought about selling it (and I even started a post in the junkyard) and then I realized that it would still look cool on display if I just took some time to recreate the proper graphics. Since I recently made Joe's transparent phone from the movie Looper I thought of it as a similar but still fun project to tackle. Here's Joe's phone, it's made out of 3mm glass and the graphics are printed on an hq vinyl sticker:
Long story short, since my Avengers display is in desperate need of some new items, even moreso than my Iron Man display, I decided to recreate the graphics from the scene in The Avengers in wich Coulson calls Stark.
So here's the phone I've got from propalooza, it comes in 3 pieces, the black "bumper" and two transparent acrylic screens:
Then, I had to entirely remake the graphics from the scene. Much of it was kinda hard to figure out but I think I came rather close given the references I had. For now I printed the graphics on my home printer as a test, they will of course be printed on vinyl to show the transparency:
Yes I know my home printer is pretty bad and truth I only had recycled paper at home so it doesn't give the best result.
Last step was to put the phone together (I simply putted the temporary graphics between the two acrylic screens and the bumper around to assemble the whole thing):
I hope to have the final graphics printed soon. I will of course post pictures of the finished phone when I get them but for now I'd really like to know what you guys think of that quick mock up.
