Stunning Paper Model Of The Millennium Falcon

Sometimes you look at a paper model and it’s easy to admire the fine craftsmanship, and sometimes an artist takes things to a whole new level and you are just blown away. This Millennium Falcon is made almost entirely out of paper. It’s 99% paper and 1% LED lights and fiber optics on the interior. Basically it is a masterpiece of paper engineering and design.

It took Polish artist Bernard Szukiel four years to complete it using photos as reference. His devotion is as inspiring as the finished product. No detail has been missed. It has the LEDs and fiber optics inside, even the scratches on the paint are accurate. Bernard you are a true master craftsman!

Han Solo DL-44 Blaster Prop Replica

If you fancy yourself smuggler enough to wield this Han Solo Blaster prop replica, you better live up to Han Solo himself and not let Greedo shoot first. This is a super nice replica with intricate details you’d expect in a more expensive piece.

I have seen a ton of fan-made blasters, but this one is a true gem. It is perfect for cosplay or just to hang on the mantle. This one is a steal at $149. from JohnsonArmsProps.

Live Long And Prosper: A Spock Tribute

It’s been a few weeks since Leonard Nimoy passed away and it is going to take time to come to terms with that if you are one of the many people that he touched. Argentinian artist Juan Miranda created this stunning retro tribute to the original Vulcan.

We will never see another soul like his again. Kirk was right. His was the most human. And as long as we remember him, he is not really dead.

Terminator T-800 Head Molded Mug

You don’t have to fight Skynet and hollow out a T-800 skull to drink like a warrior king. Just get this Terminator T-800 Head Mug. It is sculpted to look just like a Terminator head. As everyone knows there is no better vessel to drink from than a killer robot’s head.

This is sure to be you new favorite mug. The only way it could be better is if the eyes lit up, but I’m not letting that stop me from ordering mine today.

Behind The Scenes Look At Star Trek’s Enterprise-E, Argo, Scorpion And More

If you are a fan of the USS Enterprise E, you were likely very disappointed that after it’s debut in First Contact, the model was never seen on-screen again, since at that point the films went fully CGI. Well if you want to see the model in glorious detail, you can thanks to Prop Store. It was photographed by one of the ILM crew members.

Below you will also see some other TNG movie era behind the scenes stuff. You likely have never seen the ship quite like this. The model is exquisitely detailed and I have to say I have a whole new appreciation for this ship. It’s never been one of my favorite ships, but here I can see that she really is quite lovely.

Steampunk Star Trek Tricorder

Deviantart users Arsenal-Best created this cool steampunk tricorder to go with their Star Trek: The Next Generation cosplay uniforms. It is made up of a brass metal shell with genuine burl wood veneer. It looks pretty awesome and I have to say it would fit in nicely with the Kirk era Star Trek universe.

Nice work. I would love to see more Star Trek gadgets get this steampunk treatment. Imagine what they could do with a phaser.

Behind The scenes Images From The Logan’s Run TV Series

I loved Logan’s Run when I was a kid. Both the movie and the short lived TV series. Even now that I have passed carousel age, I can still appreciate it. Check out these behind the scenes images from the show, mixed with some actual images from the episodes. These sure bring back memories.

With Hollywood making so many reboots I expect to see this title happen again fairly soon. Though I hope I’m wrong. Some things should be left alone.
