The Gadget Meister Tribute Prop Only Thread (Page 34 of 36)

The "greeblies" at the rear of the gun are the same self-adhesive wire/cable guides/clips used on many of the MR props. They were made in the UK and were commonplace then but seemingly impossible to find now (and trust me, I've tried).

I think it goes back to your prior observation that the pistol is inconsistent scene to scene.
It's the same with the larger white laser rifle; some have this same greeblie somewhere on the body, others don't have it at all.
I agree it doesn't appear on the the one Drax handles but there are examples from various prop displays which do, in fact, have this clip at the rear. (Sadly I've only got a shot from the DC Spy Museum which included prototypes and not final props.)
The piece on the Drax pistol you've attached shows-up on some other MR as well as Star Wars props.

Totally agree   

Very interested. Thanks!

Would anyone know if the CZ Scorpion has been seen in any Bond films or other Bond-related media? I received one by accident, just want to check before I go through the hassle of sending this thing back, cheers.

I do mean the CZ Scorpion EVO 3, released in 2009 - so can only be from the Craig-era films, games, or perhaps the comics. I'll keep searching, but it seems unlikely.

Still, thank you for your response, it is appreciated.

RIP Andy xx

Sad day indeed. RIP to a great guy. Our sincere condolences to his family.

Awful and sad news.  I was just texting with him about his 60th party the other day and to wake up to this just gutted me.  Truly no words....

Very sad day and very sad news.

I was in touch with him one week ago and had to tell him that I won‘t come to his birthday party.
His reply was typical Andy :
>> ...I think we’re both big enough and ugly enough for this not to affect our friendship in any way...<<

He loved the banter between Asp and me, he crazily loved my wife Cathy, I‘ll miss him dearly!

Rest in peace, my friend!

And only YOU can call me Higgy   

I'm lost for words right now. Sadly, I didn't know Andy as well as I could have. However, one thing I did know was that he was a kind and generous man. I showed a prop here once that was improvised and quite rough. I had not yet met Andy at this point, but he messaged me out of the blue, and was kind enough to point me in the right direction of the original source material. Basically, he put his trust in a stranger to help them out, and I will never forget that moment.

Andy was one of the key prop makers here I looked up to; he lived up to his username time and again. I was always excited to see his next fantastic reveal. I'm proud to say that I have one of his amazing Playboy cards in my collection, and if it weren't for him, I would also not have the AVTAK tracker, which he was kind enough to share on this forum upon his identifying it. Had been anxiously waiting to see a special new project he was working on, and several times I was this close to messaging him as curiosity was getting the better of me! I regret not doing that now - not for the project of course - but just to call in and say hi. It is an honour to have been in contact with a true gentleman and talented Bond collector, may he Rest in Peace.
