I obviously love the freedoms & possibilities things like 3D printing has brought us - but there's something special about the efficiencies & creativity of using found parts & available materials to make otherworldly & cool-looking things
This, the original, full-size ED-209, which STILL EXISTS! , is one of the best examples of that in all of film & SFX history

Tomorrow is move in day for the play.
So much to do. Excited.
Can't sleep. Busy making list.
Wanted to post this, because I am so proud. #communityTheater #props #Diy #willywonkajr
My latest thing is up - bit of a long one this time, probably has something to do with the fact that I'm pretty proud of the result

The light boxes are getting closer. I finished up three of six vinyl stickers for the names. They aren't wrinkle free, but good enough. Will be happy to see this project complete. #CommunityTheater #Sets #Props #Maker
Bought this lineman's (guys that climb poles) phone for five bucks at the Habitat for Humanity store. No idea what to do with it (I haven't had a landline for a decade) but the 70s-80s sci-fi aesthetic is wonderful. I can just imagine picking it up and hearing Han Solo's death star intercom conversation coming out. Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

I have a deep love for the classic kitbashing, found-items style of prop building - but I'm not gonna sit here & tell you that the custom prop work on "Blade Runner 2049" isn't absolutely stunning

After a good building volunteer session I always feel so energized, I need to decompress, organize my projects so the chaos is organized. #CommunityTheater #Props #maker
No photos, but we got a bunch of good stuff done.
Early stage, preliminary assembly - still a way to go, but the project seems to be moving in the right direction...
3d design for a new project,
the first one on which I use solidworks instead of Fusion 360 or FreeCAD.
This time its a prop knife in a cyberpunk style. It should have a nice lighting effect if it works correctly.
Instant Prop Time, a top secret cover sheet, just print out and staple to your undifferentiated documents and instantly it's a top secret folder your players aren't meant to have.
I don't remember which of you film nerds recommended this but I thank you what a wonderful example of movie ephemera still living on - I can't even really explain why I love that, but I do
Always wanted to visit Elstree, of course; it's film history - now I know that if I ever do, building 5 has to be part of the tour, whether allowed or not
