The OFFICIAL "Cheap as Hell" Props thread

[Tonka2bad]

You know what I mean. Paper props. A broken pencil that can be from Men In Black. Alka Seltzer Matrix Pills.

Let's list them all here!

[E Williams]

A silver Parker Jotter ballpoint pen is the pen grenade from Goldeneye.

[Hammerhead]

How about the so-called "Jedi food capsules" from TPM? They're pretty cheap. Staedtler (sp?) pen caps and a sewing button with gold/silver paint job.

Same for the Watto "chance cube"--its just a hunk of Sculpey painted red and blue.

[spellbinder99]

From Aliens......

One of Ripleys' little flares she lights the way to the confrontation with the Alien Queen.....
I old X-acto style knife handle, a dob of gap filling superglue, paint and sand!! for the striking end. Text not seen in movie but added for interest....about $2 total expense.
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=969124&a=11277956&p=51357649&Sequence=0&res=high


The disk referred to by Gorman as in "Ripley's report is on disk".....The computer report of the loss of the Nostromo's crew in the first film.

One old 3.5 inch disk, paint it Bess Brown, print up label....about a dollar total....:)


http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=969124&a=10408197&p=40966347&Sequence=0&res=high


Both took no more than a couple of hours....:)

Cheers

Tony

[Tonka2bad]

[killrmonkey]

Print out wrapper. Find/make candy bar shaped object, and cover with foil. Stick on wrapper. Have wonka bar!

Jason

[LeMarchand]

Hey, great subject! :)

Anyone have a 'gold ticket' to go with that wrapper?

David

[rayra]

Noticed last night while watching "Logan's Run" that the light-sticks the 'Underground' pokes in Logan's / Jessica's face could very easily / cheapy be made with a turkey baster tip and a section of sprinkler pipe, probably no more than $20 in paint, parts, lighting.

pic to follow.

Well the soap was not cheap on start up. Do not got a pic yet of what I think is the right color.

[PHArchivist]

Dysan brand, M3 (I think) 3.5" computer disc (similar to the one above), bone color.

Get some clear red Tamiya, have a field-day finger painting your "blood" on the disc, and viola'--the decoy NOC from Mission Impossible (one).

Have fun.

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

I played around with the zeppelin ticket text from IndyGear, and worked out a custom one...

It's an MS Word document with the ticket text + another with the written information — the idea being, you print the first out, then run it through and print the second on top, so it looks more realistic. I had problems with getting them aligned exactly, but it comes out OK.

I'll bundle the docs, a .TXT with my modified ticket text (if you wanna play with it), and the necessary fonts into a .ZIP file. Just e-mail me & ask for it.


-SSB

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Okay, the ZIP is 415 kB.

X-wing pilot leg flares...
cut the ends off of two CO2 cartridges and glue in a dowel...the nasty seam will be covered by black fabric

http://fan.starwars.com/moseisleypolicedept/files/flares5.JPG

I have a bunch more on my site...ie, tie pilot armor made out of old street signs...legally acquired of course, $1/lb at the scrap yard

[Tonka2bad]

Brody, I'd like that zip file!

[Master Windu]

Here's my latest (just done 10 minutes ago):

http://members.truepath.com/masterwindu/fortwalton.jpg

[Sarge1nOnly]

If I can ever find the right bottles, I want to make the messages in bottles from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Complete with labels and an optional rubber "Flabulina Occulina"

-Sarge

[0neiros]

Spread a i inch square patch of Rubber cement, on a sheet of Olive drab Construction paper, let dry 15 minutes. Use dirty index finger (wipe it on your engine block) to roll it up into a Glob. VOILA, 1 Dudley Dawson Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.

[PHArchivist]

Windu, I think you need to go back to the sig pic of Mason!

Now you need to do the actual pew leg!

[PHArchivist]

Any more...?

[Tonka2bad]

Yeah, any more?

[LZeitgeist]

NOTE: Beeman's Gum link fixed... sorry about the screwup...

[PHArchivist]

Wakal's scarabs are (were?) less than $15... have they been mentioned?

Beautiful little buggers!

Unpainted, that is...

[Dog Holliday]

my first 2 props I ever made were a sheet of paper with the rules of "Fight Club" and a roll of toilet paper with the phrase "boom you're dead" from the bathroom scene in Lethal Weapon 2.

enjoy

[Tonka2bad]

I never thought of those, Dog. Good ideas!

[DKWD]

The Head and Shoulders bottle from Evolution was mentioned in an earlier thread.


David

[Tonka2bad]

I forgot about that too
Hmmm....I should put these all on the net somewhere.

[forttusken]

The ice cream scoop thermal detonator is about $15 with electronics!
http://fan.starwars.com/forttusken/files/detonator/td_completed.jpg

[Master Windu]

Get a green notebook from "The Waterboy"

[arwa]

How did you make that?

[Thermalized Plastics]

Ok,... I didn't want to let these go. But,... I have filmed original props from the Movie, The Invisible Man. Pictures below. Are these babies coooool or what?

Thermal

[PHArchivist]

Niiiiiiiice props, TP! ;)

Fun thread--let's keep it alive a bit more!

Someone we all know makes a nice little ID card from a favorite futuristic film--about $15.

By the way, you can get the test booklet itself (from MiB) at Starwares.com--$450! NOT cheap as hell, but you make up for the cost with the pencil!

[Master Windu]

Here we go. Get some Double-Mint and Big Red Gum. Take half a stick of each and fuse the parts together. Put back in a wrapper. Voila! Red Light-Green Light Gum from Mission: Impossible.

[Master Windu]

members.truepath.com/kevinsweeney/cheap/ (http://members.truepath.com/kevinsweeney/cheap/)

Just a layout so far...would it be worth updating and making?

[Tonka2bad]

Windu . . . hell, why not?

I'd do my best to help out.

I was thinking of registering elcheapoprops.com

Or not.

I'd also put a link from it from my website, as it's perfect for the kind of people who visit NBFX.

[DKWD]

From The Episode 1 Visual Dictionary:

Naboo Civilian Comlink

According to the Parts of Star Wars it is an Isi Odor Stealer #8580 (apr $10) turned around in it's holder.
There is a similiar one at Walmart here in Canada also for $10.

David

[USCMBUZZ]

Ok Guys I gotta mention this.. In Blair Witch 2 in the gift shop.. There is a stick figure man made of you guessed it.. Sticks..Yep Tied together twigs... I saw one on ebay recently and it was at $25.. puleeez....Hey its dumb enough that I want one...

What about the invisible man I know yall were joking but think about it.. All you would have to have to make his mask.. is fleshh colored bandages and welders goggles and viola you have him...

[LeMarchand]

Talking of overpriced propreplicas. That birdtoy prop from sleepyhollow i posted pics of in this thread is listed on Ebay for 49 bucks!!!!!!!!!

Another 'cheap as hell' prop, is the holocontainer from star trek voyager. It is a Hydropak Marsdrinker, which can be converted by sanding the logos off, adding three styrene buttons, a styrene rod and frosting the inside of the clear plastic.

I'll post a pic later

Cheers,

Marc

As seen in my earlier post from Castaway

<img src="http://www.proppics.com/myfedbox.jpg"

[Tonka2bad]

One idea I just stole:
Buffy's wooden stake.

[BlindVoyeur]

You mean like mine :-)

<img src=http://www.proppics.com/stake.jpg>

[Tonka2bad]

No . . .
It was an original idea, it had nothing to do with the thread like 4 down!
I didn't even see that one!

;)

[DKWD]

From another thread:

A pack of cigarettes - from the Smoking Man from X-files.


David

[Master Windu]

Get a FedEx single rate envelope or whatever it is (I know USPS Priority has single rate but whatever). Address is to Thomas P. Anderson. You now have a carrying case for your Nokia (Preferably an 8110i, but the 7110's are becomming more available now and actually WORK in the USA :) )

[Jedi Sirk]

What about the props from the sell-out segment in Wayne's World?
-Doritos
-Nuprin
-Pizza Hut box

Also the vial with the blue liquid from Temple of Doom can be done really cheap. Just get a chemistry vial, paint the gold stripe around it, and fill it with either water with blue food coloring or watered down blue Listerene.

How about a bent spoon from The Matrix? Can't get much cheaper than that!

[darthadaul]

Eddie Kaspbrak's Asthma inhaler from The two part movie "IT".

[Master Windu]

Paul that's the STUPIDEST prop idea I've heard from you. I'm utterly ashamed.

<font size="5">THERE IS NO SPOON!</font>

:lol:

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Anyone tried my Zeppelin ticket yet?

Incidentally, its supposed to fold into thirds, with the blank third being folded in-between the other two.


-SSB

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Duh...

How about a dust jacket that says "TO SERVE MAN"?

You are right... what was I thinking?!?! There is NO SPOON!

Tonka--
I'm surprized that you actually remembered that damn broken pencil of mine. LOL

John

[Dog Holliday]

just thought of another one...get a plastic baggie, put in some red powder...and voila!!! you have the red dust that kills the Visitors in "V"

Dog

[LeMarchand]

When you have a visitor, point towards an empty corner saying :"there is my 1:1 lifecast of the invisible man" :lol: . Cheapest prop yet :)

Cheers,

Marc

[LeMarchand]

Question about the "Fight Club" Airline safety card. Is it taken from the easteregg on the special edition? I bought the special edition, but the region 2 version don't have those. Does someone here has those caps and is willing to share it?

Thanks,

Marc

[EDIT} Just thought of another relatively cheap prop to do:

-Snatch a ceramic pumpkin from the wife
-Cut out the face according to the screencaps
-Paint orange
-Make a wooden frame
-pull some old cloth around the frame..


Voila.....Sleepy Hollow scarecrow. If someone wants screencaps of it, let me know :)

[PHArchivist]

I forgot... Monsters In Motion had cast-white metal versions of The Predator's spear tips for $10. Got one stuck in my heater vent!

It was a while back...

[USCMBUZZ]

Ok guys what about the playmate cooler wrapped with duct tape Arnold S. hid his gun inside ..in The 6th Day.. or how bout the Super Soakers used to kill Vampires in Both From Dusk Till Dawn and Tales from the Crypt Bordello of Blood, theres even a pistol watergun you can buy at Family Dollar... But you need one molded in purple clear plastic to be accurate.... Oh and the Smoking Mans cigarettes are same style packaging as red Marborro but the text reads.. MORLEY...someone could scan a pack in and change the text and you got it... Anybody wanna do this for us... I want one..

[Roughneck91]

How about this..now that Halloween is near, you can get those glow sticks and splatter the glow stuff inside around your room and create instant Predator blood:)

Hi folks,

I need a little advice: I know an online source for the BTTF clocktower flyer(the correct one). The jpg file is 1,7 meg big. I don't want to step on anyones toes....so are there boardmembers selling them?

As for me, I hate it when I see a xth generation copy of any paper prop on ebay. If you offer it to recoup a part of your investment that's ok, but those ebay @sses are in it for the quick buck. $10 for a lousy copy......:(

Let me know,

Hi,

Stefan

EDIT: Please don't send it to other people. I don't want them to show up on ebay!!!! I send the file to the people who posted their email adres here in about 4 hours.

EDIT 2: Also, don't "clean" them up, or change etc and then sell it. DON'T SELL IT, TRADE IT...WHATEVER .

FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.

Sorry folks if I sound a little paranoid, but everytime I see them on ebay...well

Hi all,

1st. all the people who posted; check your mailbox in a few minutes, something from the past is going to hit your inbox...:)

2nd. Glad you guys like it, cool that you are having so much fun with it. Props for me are for my enjoyment, sometimes I share them with friends. The looks on their faces give me enjoyment. But all this fighting lately...people that is not the spirit....So people, turn this community to the light side and SHARE those props.

3rd. If you want a flyer post here. I'll send out the next batch tomorrow (thursday).

People ENJOY the flyer,

Hello riker12,

as I said a couple of times. I don't want this file "abused". Now put youself in my shoes, what would you do if someone asked with his first post that file. This may sound hard but I am not going to send you that file. If you are legit you understand my concern.

Now stick around, introduce yourself to the board, share some info, post some pics........basically become a board member.

Hope you understand.

Stefan

EDIT -riker12, I checked your profile, I saw that you are a members of the ASAP forum...well that does count too :)

How about filling a small vial full of liquid then adding the ink from a highlighter marker. Put the cap on and then put it under a black light. BINGO! You have the Memory Vial for Edward Nigmas Box from "Batman Forever". Kinda cheesy and cheap, but kinda cool all together. I started building a little black box with a clear front and a blacklight built into the top. Then I put the vial on in the display and turned the light on. Looked kinda neat.

Guy, is your prop cheap as hell, or are you starting a new hobby of demanding pilots to take you somewhere unscheduled? :)

(I'm joking of course, but email me if you want an edit.)

[PHArchivist]

Does the Wilson volleyball count as cheap as hell?

[LeMarchand]

In my case the Wilson won't be cheap. 60 bucks for the volleyball and have to have the 'hair' imported from another country (no palmtrees in holland), which is another 30 bucks or so.

Cheers,

Marc

[EDIT]anybody took the time to actually read the 'newsarticle on the flyer' ?, very interresting read :)

[jheilman]

Can you send the BTTF flyer to jheilman@panangling.com

Thanks

[prop demigod]

Hey, cool idea! I would love to have one. Please send the file to sdstudios@aol.com

Thanks for doing this!

Hi all,

Does anyone know this site?www.jacomber.freeserve.co.uk/ (http://www.jacomber.freeserve.co.uk/)

actually...doesn't matter, their movie prop section is no more. They mainly had paperprops for free to download. Got the Titanic Rose (the nude pencil drawing) jpg(140 kb) there. However they color (light brown) of the paper it is printed on is also scanned.

So do we have a photoshop wiz here that can clean it up?
remove the background color and blacken it up a couple of tones....

Stefan

Edit.: mailed out the 3rd batch, but forgot to add the attachment...duh...so I did resend it WITH attachment.

[Master Windu]

send it to me, i'll see what i can do with it

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Ok, I checked out TLW, copied some of the text props, and bundled them together with a helpful text file.

If anyone wants it, just email me (IMhomeS@AOL.com) and ask. The whole thing's real small. Just print 'em out and enjoy.

[LeMarchand]

Another prop that won't cost a lot and is easy to do is the T2 chip. Does anybody has measurement of this one?

Cheers,

Marc

[LeMarchand]

Here's a pic of the "total recall" bussinescard i made today. I used a pic of screenused ones i saw on Ebay.

http://members.home.nl/shadowrunner/props/totalrecallcard.jpg

Only need to print them on transparant sheet, and voila, another cheap as hell prop.

Cheers,

Marc

[EDIT]I made the picture smaller, because i learned that a fellow boardmember bought the real ones. It is possible that he will make replica's and sell them.

[LZeitgeist]

Got the retry, KS... worked great. Thanks! :)

[DKWD]

Any one have a screen capture of the Photo Marty keeps looking at in Back to the Future (BTTF)?
One could print it on photo paper and have a nice companion to the Clocktower flyer (which looks great btw - thanks Stefan)

[juno88]

I'd love a flyer juno@cinci.rr.com

SSB- You stuff is all MSWorks, and I don't *ahem* have my original disk to install the reader in MSOffice.

Now, just to keep this OT, how about Fall Guy's Indy lighter tutorial: home.earthlink.net/~triphibious/ (http://home.earthlink.net/~triphibious/)

I was able to make one for $15 -- including the lighter!

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Right. Sorry.

The Lost World stuff is all just BMPs, though.

[PHArchivist]

How about a singed copy of Dr. Spocks Guid To Childcare?

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Raising Arizona?

Good idea. Don't forget the blue dye.


-SSB

[Tonka2bad]

This thread RULES!

[PHArchivist]

Good pull SSB. But I think I did forget... What's the blue dye?

Favorite line/scene: H.I. (VO) "And he was especially harsh on the little ones..."

Cobb's outfit would be KILLER for Halloween, a con, or whatever!

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

The two cons rob the 'hayseed' bank, and get slipped an exploding blue dye thingie. It goes off in their car just before Hi and Ed catch up with them.


-SSB

[PHArchivist]

Oh yeah... Could double for the dye in "The Siege"!

I guess a dollar bill covered in blue dye would cost, well, one dollar! Cheap as hell!

[Tonka2bad]

I donno. A buck?

Maybe cheap as heck?

[Tonfa Sartan]

Stephan,
could I get the BTTF flier?

ms93@qwest.net

thanks

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

Soo...

Anyone tried my stuff yet? The Lost World printouts & the Zeppelin Zulasse?

Anyone? *whimper, snivel*


-SSB

[DKWD]

What about a piece of paper with a circle drawn on it?

You know, for the kids. (thanks to Dustin Crop Boy for the reminder).

[Tonka2bad]

Brody, I've looked at them but haven't tried them yet!!!

Sorrry

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

That's alright. I was just wondering out loud.

As long as they're not totally neglected.


-SSB

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

I don't know why I din't think of this sooner....

I made myself an Indy-like fedora by re-shaping an old campaign hat*. You guys can probably pick 'em up at the local Army surplus store, or Goodwill. It may not be exact; but hey, the price is right and you made it yourself.

*Campaign hats being the Smokey Bear type hats. Also seen on sheriff's deputies, forest rangers, Scoutleaders.

[jedi knight]

Hey can you send me a copy of the BTTF flyer.
pusher59@hotmail.com

[Master Windu]

could you send a flyer to motg@stratos.net

Thanks

[darthadaul]

Does anyone have a picture of those CRS keys from the movie "The Game"? This would be a fairly cheap and cool prop to have.

[PHArchivist]

Is there an efficient way to sort out all the bids on the BTTF flyer, and then archive this thread?

[Tonka2bad]

I was thinking that too.

[Master Windu]

Do you have a pic of the Total Recall actual prop?

[LeMarchand]

windu,

check this thread. Turns out the boardmember i was referring to didn't buy the, so i might do them myself

Is it too late to get in on that BTTF flier?

[Sith Sheriff Brody]

See my latest thread "From Hell — Jack, the Ripper" for my latest dirt-cheap prop, a replica Pinkertons business card.

Here's another good Ripper one, this time, it's the real deal!

Just picked up the Director's Cut of Basic Instinct. (What DID they leave on the cutting room floor?)

How hard would it be to find a matching ice pick, and how expensive would they be?

According to the "ever-accurate" Planet Hollywood, there were two styles used.

[Tonka2bad]

I'm not even sure where to find ice picks anymore.

BTW, I'm going to post in the Commun. forum about getting this archived.

[PHArchivist]

Very cool about getting the thread archived. How do we sort out the responses to the paper item?

[Tonka2bad]

I think that would be the hard part, I donno.

[Master Windu]

Can't mods delete certain posts now? Even if they can't, you can just edit out any requests.

[Tonka2bad]

That would be perfect.

[Scottish Film Maker]

Hi, I'm the creator of the Fight Club business card that Sink Tube Jedi posted on page 1. I've not posted for some time now, and I was quite surprized when I seen that someone had used my creation. :D
I dont want this file getting mis-used, so if you'd like it, then email me at tylercard@hotmail.com (I created that address just for this project! ;) )
I'd like to do trades on "Printable Props", so if you have a file that may be of interest to me, please email it to the above address. I'd particularly like that BTTF flyer. I've also seen other BTTF stuff on this board, like the wrappers & labels from the movie.
I'm going on holiday on Sunday, so I'll send out the file when I return, just leave your email address at tylercard@hotmail.com
