I helped move some stuff for Mikron Theatre Company (for the youth wing of said company) and that meant hauling my bulky carcass up a steep ladder and into their props loft space. What a treasure trove it is.
There is a compromise in the design, and you can see it here. In order to make the lines clean and give the plane a good slick shape I had to keep the props close together. The result is that each propeller's arc intercept each other.
So, there is a "thing-a-ma-jig" that keeps the propellers synched up and slightly out of phase...it never breaks and is a modern marvel of aeronautical engineering.
Plus I love how the light is reflecting off the canopy!
Beggars are using babies as props to attract sympathy.This style has been common here in Manila which is very effective because many will get pity for the baby () due to the harsh condition of the street (sometimes crying probably because of the heat of the sun, rain, itchiness, pollution or getting hungry already). They usually rent these babies from the real mothers. I think it is more better to give the baby food instead of money.

Just like the original props, the ATL strips down into its three component parts: the P2 phaser body, the P1 hand phaser, and the pistol grip power pack. The grip is held to the body with an electrical twist plug used on lamp cords in the mid 20th century. The p1 is attached via friction fit and a springloaded metal tab in the back.
NOTE: the ATL replicas were a private project and not made for sale. None are available.

Dr. Evermor's Forevertron, built in the 1980s, is the largest scrap metal sculpture in the world, standing 50 ft. (15,2 m.) high and 120 ft. (36,5 m.) wide, and weighing 300 tons[1]. It is housed in Dr. Evermore's Art Park on Highway 12, in the town of Sumpter, in Sauk County, Wisconsin, United States.
The sculpture incorporates two Thomas Edison dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, high-voltage components from 1920s power plants, scrap from the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant, and the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft[2]. Its fictional creator, Dr. Evermor, was born Tom Every[3] in Brooklyn, Wisconsin[disambiguation needed ] and is a former demolition expert who spent decades collecting antique machinery for the sculpture and the surrounding fiction that justifies it. According to Every, Dr. Evermor is a Victorian inventor who designed the Forevertron to launch himself, "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam." The Forevertron, despite its size and weight, was designed to be relocatable to a different site—the sculpture is built in sections that are connected by bolts and pins.
In addition to the Forevertron itself, the sculpture includes a tea house gazebo from which Every says Queen Victoria and Prince Albert may observe the launching of Dr. Evermor; it also includes a giant telescope where sceptics may observe the ascent. Dr. Evermor's art park is home to scores of other sculptures, many of which relate to the Forevertron, such as the "Celestial Listening Ear" and the "Overlord Master Control Tower". Other large-scale sculptures include gigantic insects (the "Juicer Bug" and "Arachna Artie"), the "Epicurean" bellows-driven barbecue train, "The Dragon", and "The UFO". The most numerous sculptures are the "Bird Band and Orchestra" which includes nearly 70 birds ranging from the size of a child to twenty feet tall, all made from scrap industrial parts, geological survey markers, knives, loudspeakers, springs, and musical instruments, among other salvaged materials.
Tom Every says he takes pride in allowing the original materials to remain unaltered as much as possible, using their original forms in new juxtapositions to create his aesthetic. While he himself is not often available for tours of the art park, the site can generally be accessed from passing through the surplus store adjacent to it, Delaney's Surplus. Mr. Every also created much of the installation art for the House on the Rock, including the world's largest carousel
Prop of Ythsie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. (D7K_0935_tonemapped_edited-2)
The Prop of Ythsie (pronouned “Icy”) is a striking local landmark which stands on the Hill of Ysthie just east of the village of Tarves. The stone tower is visible from many points in the surrounding area of Formartine, including from parts of the Haddo Estate. It was built by the tenantry of Haddo in memory of the 4th Earl of Aberdeen, paying tribute to the extensive improvement works he carried out on the Estate for the local residents. It is still in family ownership, though it is maintained by Aberdeenshire Council for the benefit of its numerous visitors. (www.haddoestate.com/prop-of-ythsie.html)
Here's the original listing from the Prop Store website. The scenes they specifically mention are inside Leia's cell and the Millenium Falcon interior, though you can read those details for yourself.
After doing my first bit of research I got back to the Prop Store to seek a bit more clarity and they elaborated thus,
"The honest answer is, that its pretty much impossible to pin down exactly what scene these were used in. I agree though, they do seem to 'keep giving'. They were used in some of the most important sci-fi movies ever made. Everytime I watch these movies I seem to notice another scene where they feature. Your photos illustrate that very nicely.
The prop rental house these came from did not keep records for these items as they were considered too generic. So we might never know exactly where these were used. But used, they definitely were. The prop house always called them 'the star wars pallets'. There were no separate 'batches' that I am aware of. The tiles are very distinctive. We purchased about 10 of them (all they had left remaining)"
My first thought was, 'how cool would it be to track down the other nine owners, put all the panels together and run around on them with a lightsaber?'
My next thought was 'I wonder where else they appeared..?'
