yes its amazeing what people will buy,,, he was contacted by a muscian from Band " men in Hats" to make a helment. several fmaous movie producers have been buying his stuff... and its true he trys to use as much scrap and found parts as possible and feels bad when he has to go to the store and buy new parts
the Ghostbuster backpack will sell for like 300-499 as there seems to be a big interest in the film again.. like the star wars films.. he purposly destress the items as it looks better on screen and in photos .. like the ray Guns many of his pieces have a HR GIGER feel. But remember theStar warsprops were also made from discarded items like the light sabers where made from old graflex flashguns used on cameras.. many props are just common items.. the back to the future fusion machine was a krups coffee machine...lol thanks alot for the view KL ! > > >---- Original Message ---- >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [MOPO] mopo -Ghostbuster fans take a look at this ! >Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:09:47 -0700 > >>I just looked at this.... item. >> >>There must be some fanatical GB fans out there LOL. >> >>Someone has bid up to 200.00 for something built and glued together >in >>a basement?
