I was part of a collaborative build at BrickFair Virginia 2024 which had participants build sections of movie or television sets. I was assigned two sections which would not be specific sets, but would enhance the studio layout.
My second section was a prop workshop with scattered props based on various alien related IP.
You can just make out the Shivering Sands fort on the left.

Red Sands sea fort abandoned in the middle of the Thames Estuary. Designed by Guy Maunsell, they were military bases in WW2 used to shoot down aircraft and stop mining in the channel.
Backstage at the Rio Grande Theatre, where the Shanghai Circus has set up props for showtime. Curios with a purpose, every one a carefully designed piece of the puzzle.
Monolight with umbrella camera right, vivitar 285 remote triggered on background from floor, mounted on gorillapod. Experimenting for a gig coming up. And there was a fall sale at AC Moore!
so I always thought that it was really silly that iwako brand food erasers were so expensive and that people would actually pay it, when you can get much cheaper food erasers here in the states from basically anywhere (I've found them at craft stores, walmart, and even dollar stores)
well it's definitely a case of you get what you pay for...
I found someone selling them for relatively cheap and decide to pick up a couple lots just to see 'cause I'm lacking in drink type props, and I totally get the reason for the hype now.
they're so much nicer than the american (meaning purchased in america, pretty sure they were all made in china or something) ones; the eraser is denser and less chalky/brittle than the cheapy ones, and the labels don't feel like they're going to peel off just from looking at them like the ones on the american erasers do.
over all, I'd say it was money well spent 'cause I'm sure I'll get plenty of use out of them.
Prop head for a Mexican Werewolf from a horror movie whose title I've forgotten. Fangoria Chicago 2007.
This weekend 125.000 people visited the anual Dickens Festijn in the historic centre of Deventer. This adorable family are supporting actors in the cosplay. To put an extra aging to the scene I finished it in sepia.
Charles Dickens, this one's for you!
A fellow named Dymerski on a prop board I'm a member of made this Anubis helmet replica from the movie Stargate. This isn't my work or my photo. A few more details here, www.scifihero.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t2675.html
Andie is a complete handful during our photo shoots. She tugs, she rolls, and she even tries to run.
She's a handful until the "Props of Shame" come out. Then she sits perfectly, gives us her patented sad look, and turns into a fantastic model.
Thank you "Props of Shame".
UPDATE: Andie made it to the cover page and top of the section on the PEOPLEPets.com site for the week of Dec. 21st, 09

Made a new brain slug for Comic Con. The headband on the old one started squishing my brain after a few hours. 8 hours 'till flight, all packed and ready to go.
The P1 Hand Phaser prop is "fired" by rolling the thumbwheel on top, forward. First the hooded "sight" rises, and then with the wheel at its extreme forward position, the light bulb in the emitter tip is lit. (this means that the actors always "fired" their phasers on the maximum setting!)
The actors also had to simultaneously seem to be pushing the stud on the bottom of the weapon, since that was supposed to be the actual trigger! (the button on the bottom wasn't connected to anything and actually did nothing).
Later in the series the actors were given non-functional dummy props. Eventually they got into the habit of holding their phasers to make it appear as though they were pushing something on top to fire the phaser. This is why fan drawings, including the semi-official Franz Joseph Starfleet Technial Manual, show the "rising sight" on top labeled as the trigger!
NOTE: the ATL replicas were a private project and not made for sale. None are available.
It's been raining like heck the past few days.
Here's the trash bin at Premiere Props, Sun Valley, California.

A propeller blade and small collection of parts from Trans Canada Airlines flight 810, which crashed into the steep cliffs of Mt Slesse on Dec 9, 1956. All 62 on board the Canadian North Star died. A proper memorial plaque sits further down the mountain.
This is where I keep some of my bjd props. Cakes, accessories and toys. Lately I have been to lazy, so instead of putting the eyes in the eye box, I just put them on the cake plate! So now my ladies got some "eye candy" in there cabinet ;) Yummie!
