My collection, blasters, and some fan film images

[Noeland]

Some times I wonder if I decided to write a blade runner fan film because I wanted half an excuse to collect and create more blade runner props!! And I really wanted to build a spinner too!!

Here are some pics of my collection. After I move and get settled I will post more.




















Here are a few of out fan film props in progress!!








Weyland-Yutani is in our Blade Runner fan film, and I also wanted to use the pulse rifle in there, but instead of military use we see corporate guards with it. It's going to have an all black theme, but with flat and gloss portions and the WY logo all over it.
















We're going to recreate this police kiosk as well for our ridleyville set:



As well as these costumes:




Here are a few screen caps of what have filmed already:







Whew. OK, enough for now, more later. Lots more!! Including a Vk machine and a Vid phone!

Feel free to share your home grown Blade Runner props right here in this thread!!

Noeland!

Though I have seen your collection before, I am still amazed and drooling with envy each time it is posted

However, at the end you say a VK machine and a Vid Phone!!!! Please, Please, Please post pics ))))

[Noeland]

It will be a few weeks before I have pictures of the vidphone or the Vk machine, but those are the next projects we will be building for the fan film. Probably start in two weekends from this one.

Once things get rolling, pics will follow!!

Very cool! Maybe while you build you could document everything for a tutorial of sorts (hint hint).

As far as the build of the VK machine, are you going to be doing resin, other plastic, or wood? I do not know a lot about the found parts on the VK machine or if there is even any.

Also, Spinner44.com has done some amazing work with them. You might want to contact him as well.

I've done a pretty extensive SW fan film. need some suggestions LMK.

What camera(s) are you using?

[amish]

Not to go off topic here, but do you have a link to your fan movie Jedirick?

Otherwise, I think the time for fan films really is upon us. With the ability to record digitally and edit everything on a home computer using software similar if not the same as the professionals has really created a new market.

I would love to do a movie someday. In fact, I wanted to be a film director when I first start Art School. It wasnt until I found my true forte at computers that I changed my career direction. Otherwise, someday I will get my chance Maybe in another 30+ years....

i agree with you amish i actually do a lot of writing scripts and such i wrote a hour long star wars script along with a Blade Runner based script using the charecters from the game. not trying to blow my own horn here or anything, but what id really like is for someone to read them and give me some feedback

Noeland, You seem to have the best information on the Hartford blasters of anyone. Is it true they are still in production? It also seems that even within the airsoft/cap versions their are variations as in the change in text to from Steyr to Stayr(or the other way around) with the swapping of E and A on the reciever. Is there anyone I can contact top get more information on these variations?

[Noeland]

Yeah, they are still in production. You can get one here:

http://www.modelguns.co.uk/m2019_blaster.htm

Cheaper than they go on ebay by a couple hundred bucks.

Hartford didn't cast any of the real gun parts to make thier blaster, so the text doesn't match the real deal at all. All the blasters are made with laser cut parts, not cast parts.

As for variations between the versions, it does appear they have corrected some spelling errors. This picture:



Is different than mine. Mine has the A's as in STAYR and then instead of A.G. as it reads in the pic, mine has E.G.

My guess would be that if you get one with the A in Steyr it's probably one of the older production models.

That is what I was told by the guy selling them on ebay(for twice what your site is selling them for). I thought it would be the other way around. I can tell by how clean the lines are on it that it is all production(machined molds) and no recasting. I am curious to what is being said about the # of copies of each version there actually are going to be. I origionally read 500 of each numbered sequentially. The Hartford site is showing the airsoft version being available again for around the same price I saw the cap version offered there before. The ebay seller told me that those are just unclaimed and returns and there is a waiting list for them. I don't for some reason expect him to tell me the whole truth though. I am interested in any info i could get for my history of the replicas.
