Building a Better Bond :: Set Blueprints

PoorMansJB

Some blueprints I've acquired over the years:

DAF Mud Bath / Surgical Center




Willard Whyte Penthouse

Bathroom


Map Room / Design Center



Drax Docking Bay



Owing to a recent purchase I opted to have everything scanned; when I started my only option was 1:1 copies.

I do like sketches such as those...thanks -{

Gebruder Gumbold

Thanks, lovely to see original sketches for the 007 films, they are truly works of art in themselves!

Silhouette Man

Yes, thank you indeed for sharing those blueprints, PoorMansJB! -{

There's alot more of Lang's stuff -- he did the docking bay elevation -- in the upcoming Prop Store auction; I had a chance to see it all before it was catalogued but many of the pieces were either fairly preliminary or not dissimilar from the couple of drawings I came away with.

I've never seen these before. Were these in auctions from way back? Blueprints like these will make a good display.

Mostly they're from various auctions over the years, primarily Christie's. I have more but these are some of the more interesting (or at least recognizable) ones. The Lange I purchased directly from the Prop Store.

Again, there wasn't much I could do with them before other than make one-to-one copies (which I did, so the originals could be kept stored to prevent fading).

Today, though, they can be scanned, cleaned-up, and rescaled which is how I'm now able to post. Means they can now also all be made about the same size which makes showing/displaying way more practical; before, if I presented the DAF penthouse (which is a good 4' across) that pretty much prevented including any others simply because there wasn't room.

Thanks for sharing this! As a Landscape Architect... I'm a bit of a blueprint nerd and love looking at blueprints. These are pretty awesome. I didn't even know that props like this existed. I wish I could own some blueprints myself but I'm not making enough to afford to purchase them from the propstore. Maybe one day when I've got a bit more finance I'll be able to procure some for my collection.

If you're ever considering having these created digitally let me know. I do a lot of drafting in AutoCAD and could probably help you out. It could be a very fun project!
