Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Blade Runner + Trek Cake (non prop)

So yesterday was my birthday (no best wishes please as it's not the intention). At around 7pm our eldest called me from the apartment downstairs in a panic, saying that the water geyser sprung a leak. I ran downstairs swearing my butt off that I'd be fixing the water geyser and helping to mop the mess till midnight on my birthday :lol.

I rushed in, only to be greeted by my Mrs, my mother, my sister and our three kids screaming "Happy Birthday !" and almost has a stroke :lol

Nice evening with some wine & this cake :D (Mrs' idea :love)

Had too. great looking cake my friend.:)


:lol:thumbsup

I wanted to keep the print but was told it was printed on rice paper and was edible.

Actually it was more on the lines of "Hon, it's 2016, you can get these things printed on edible paper duh" :lol

Happy belated Birthday Alan! I love that they gave you the double surprise, fake bad news followed by a party. :lol
The Blade Runner bottle is freaking awesome and a bit of a must have, can you give me a heads up on where to get one?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I have always wanted a replica of the Tesla Gun from Warehouse 13.

Here are some screencaps :


tessg1-979x400.jpg


tessg2-969x651.jpg



The best replica is without a doubt, IMO, the one produced by QMX, …. but way too expensive for my pocket :(

It is also next to impossible to have access to a lathe / milling equipment here, so making one from scratch was out of the question.

However, from the main Tesla Gun thread here on the board, I saw the kit that Scifideity had picked up, this one …..


tecon1-844x654.jpg



…. but as pointed out, it was very far off from being accurate.

However, seeing the exact contents, of which this is his photo because I forgot to take a pic of my own (so due pic credit to Scifideity), I decided to pick one up and have a shot at modifying it.


Scifideity-891x672.jpg



I did not intend to make any major mods, but as I worked on it, I just kept telling myself “oh come on man, go that one step more” …… so it ended up being a very loooooong process.

Briefly, here are the mods I made (numbers referenced in the above pic).

A few mods have my own twists, some deliberate (eg 1cm longer rods), some were just too complicated on the available material (eg recessed level for the “double meter”), and others I am too lazy (screws for top & bottom copper twisted wire :lol) :


1 & 2 - Changed & Modified cards

3 - “refurbished” knob. Made the “arrow” straight & pointier. Made the “skirt” deeper

4, 5, 6 & 15 – Unused. Replaced with real tubes.

7 - Eliminated tubes bases.

8 - Removed ‘coils’ embedded in cast & replaced.

9 - Eliminated tubes base. Drilled holes for real tube.

10 - Added extra parts on both flat sides to make the cylinder round.

11 - Replaced resin coil tip with real copper wire. Added brass “holder”.

12 - Replaced brass with copper rods.

13 - Eliminated top & flattened to support brass “holder”

14 - Sanded down.

16 - Eliminated in order to have space for metal screw.

17 - Removed “diamond” shape & made it a square.

18 - Shortened to fit level with extra grip added.

19 - Eliminated screws & replaced with correct base.

20 - Added to shape secondary grip.

21 - Added to round main grip to shape with circular base.

22 - Replaced with thicker copper wire.


And here are some self-explanatory progress pics of all the above.

tecon12-845x639.jpg


tecon14-984x391.jpg


tecon16-842x637.jpg



I also added a plinth and a support rod to it, and here is the final result.

tes4-957x649.jpg


tes5-959x651.jpg


tes6-956x649.jpg


tes7-684x755.jpg



Lastly, here it is on display on the top shelf of the central stand-alone unit.

Total cost including kit & tubes came to roughly $65.

Hope you enjoyed the post :)
