Jason oddities and stuff!!

I thought it might be fun to post some pics of the models Ive done
over the years, both for film and my own pleasure, hopefully youll
enjoy them as well. Ill also being showing some of the cool props
and models Ive managed to collect from film and tv over the last
eight years-They include a 35 foot long Sentinel from the matrix films,
AMEE robot and space suits from Red Planet and many more!

Ill also get some vids up soon of my Onager (Greek torsion catapult)
in action-firing softballs 250feet, hurling irons and toasters to there
deaths, and golf balls more than 350 feet to just plain gone!!
It takes about a minute and a half to crank the arm back with a boat
winch, and my radar gun has clocked rounds coming off the arm
at 130kmh!!!!

I also have a trebuchet with a nine foot arm and 200kg (water filled)
counter weight that has in the past sent video recorders and domestic
hoovers soaring to there doom!!-so please stay tuned, and hopefully
enjoy!!!!-Jas

Ok!-Ill get down there and sort out the Sentinal, Its been a while since
Ive seen it together myself! (Ill need a few days to dig out AMEE though!)

Heres a brief description of each prop for you, Ill tag it with each photo in the
future, but for now-

photo 1-"Time Gaurdian" stunt pulse rifle. Backround prop, fiberglass,
I think this one fires pyro.

photo 2-Strikeclone gun. Hero prop used by Christopher Lambert in
"Fortress" This was fitted with a 9mm Uzi and a flamethrower for his
role as prisoner John Brennick. I have his prison yellow jumpsuit with
"Brennick" on them and three of the Intestinator devices(pics soon)

photo3 -Strikeclone gun from the other side showing the ammo belt

photo 4-Close up of the hero gun by Tom Burlinson in "Time Gaurdian".
it shows the main five barrel muzzle and the grenade lancher underneath.

Photo 5-Center of the Gun showing the power leads for the battery, it
was a blankfiring weapon-also the lower handgrip and grip.

photo 6-Back of the Gun showing the handgrip, arming switch and
the hooded scope at the top.

photo 7- Long shot of the Gun.

photo 8-Long shot, opposite side.

photo 9-The Gun in all its glory. That knob on the side unscrews and allows
the stock and barrel to be extended. The prop is very heavy, Im guessing
around 8-10kg.

photo 10-With the stock closed, (I need to ask Dave how the barrel works
again!)

photo 11-This is a replica line throwing gun from the Aus TV series,
"Airtight"

photo 12-Heres a helmet from "Red Planet" thats been used in a pyro
sequence and then sectioned to allow a camera to shoot from inside.
They are made from shaped aluminium, and Im told about $2000 US
each to make.

photo 13-Sectioned helmet-opposite side.

photo 14-Whole helmet with soft edges, visor and glare shield. I have
the missing backplate for it too.-all the Red Planet stuff was done by
Steve Johnson VFX is the USA.

photo 15-Heres a "Metropolis" licence plate from one of the cars in
"Superman Returns"

photo 16-This is a taser gun from the short lived US TV show "Future Tense"
a sci fi police series. Though not a real "taser" gun, the prop was
made to fire a pyro flash to simulate the real thing!

photo 17-This of course is the "Mask of Loki", I was lucky enough to get
a cast out of a mould. This was for Mask2, son of mask.

Hope you enjoyed these first photos, of what I hope may one day be
all together in a museum, Im hoping maybe the Powerhouse one day,
for others to see as well-more pics soon I promise!-Jas

No worries! , plenty more to see where those came from! Ill put a description
with each item and anyone would who would like to know more about, or see more of a particular prop, just let know here and Ill follow it up!

Ill photograph some of the big stuff like the Sentinal on the weekend-while
Im downstairs sorting that out, I will also get out the Bell Huey helicopter
from "Matrix". It was the standby model in case the first chopper crash
needed to be re-shot, which didnt happen, so I got that model for the
collection. I got it in unpainted sections, (Ill build it one day-maybe a
retirement project!) its huge, about 1/4 scale-rotor span I think is
close to 14 feet!-Jas.
