Mad Max Frame – gift

my friend Donda is moving away in a few weeks (sniff) and I wanted to make a going away present. We saw a frame with this theme at Denver Comic Con last weekend, and I wanted to imitate it, since Donda had fallen in love with the original

Thrift Store Frame – sanded and weathered

Rivets – brass Brads with the legs broken off – weathered

Chain – 5′ of plastic chain from the hardware store – weathered + sealed

Blood Tube – 6′ of clear tubing from the hardware store – painted red + sealed

Bolts – random plumbing parts from the hardware store – weathered

Leather – scraps from my own supply

Twine – from one of my room mates – weathered + sealed

 

Spoilers…

turns out, making props is really fun!

River Song’s sonic trowel

special thanks to my good buddy Donda for designing and 3D printing the trowel head! all the rest of the parts are auto and plumbing odds ‘n ends from the hardware store, and the handle came from a small mallet. handle stain and assemblage by me.

I will be awkwardly stumbling all over myself to ask Alex Kingston herself if she’ll sign the handle at Comic Con this year, and after it gets signed, I’ll be vanishing the handle so the signature will be permanent.
