Posted on December 26, 2012March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

  Summary:  This is the only known replica of Frank the Rabbit (or Frank the Bunny)’s mask with direct lineage to the original mold to be made publicly available.  It has been painstakingly researched and replicated to match the original mask as closely as possible (with a few minor tells to ensure it is not…

Jim Beam – Devil’s Cut 90 Proof Bourbon Review

Posted on August 27, 2011March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

According to Jim Beam, Devil’s Cut is “A distincly bold bourbon with rich flavor unleashed from deep inside the barrel wood.” I am no bourbon aficionado but I do prefer a good bourbon to just about any other drink and I have always favored Jim Beam’s selections with the long gone Jacob’s Well being my…

Web Operations Management for your Movie Prop Sites

Posted on July 15, 2011March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

For over a decade I have owned and operated a small but very successful vBulletin based forum called The Dented Helmet which focuses on helping Star Wars fans build their own Boba Fett Costume. In Nov of 2009 I was offered the opportunity to take the reigns of the site that spawned the Dented Helmet…

Relaunching… again…

Posted on July 14, 2011February 19, 2017 by Art Andrews

This is the third or fourth time I have started over with a blog.  It is a tough thing for me because I am spread thin already and am not sure if I have anything worthy to say that can’t be condensed to a tweet or a post on facebook, but I am going to…

Charlie Prince Jacket Buttons from 3:10 to Yuma

Posted on January 10, 2011March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

This is a pretty small update but I thought it was worth noting as I haven’t seen anyone else positively ID the buttons on Charlie Prince’s jacket. While I am not 100% sure of the size, the button on Charlie’s jacket appear to be Royal Army Pay Corps (RAPC) buttons which include a lion over…

Tombstone now available on Bluray!

Posted on May 31, 2010March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

Hello reader!  It has been quite some time since I have updated this site… what can I say?  Life is busy.  With that in mind, you should know that Tombstone is FINALLY out on Blu-ray and while I am a bit disappointed that the transfer doesn’t appear to be new or cleaned up, there is…

Ultimate Johnny Ringo Rig

Posted on September 11, 2008March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

For me it just doesn’t get much better than this. Last fall I was SO excited to get in direct contact with Peter Sherayko and had the opportunity to purchase one of his replica Johnny Ringo rigs. However, I was really disappointed when it arrived as it simply wasn’t what I wanted. It looked like…

David Carrico’s involvement with Jesse James

Posted on June 26, 2008March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

I had the opportunity to talk with David Carrico today, owner of Carrico’s Leatherworks.  David was the coproducer of the gun rigs for The Assassination of Jesse James.  I conducted a brief and very informal interview with David regarding his involvement.  The following is what I gleaned. David was contacted, via a friend, by Thell…

Johnny Ringo Stampede Strings

Posted on June 24, 2008March 14, 2017 by Art Andrews

While my hat from Tom Hirt was almost perfect (and should be as he created the originals) the one area that was slightly lacking was the stampede strings.  Tom doesn’t make those himself, but buys them from another company.  The strings I received on my hat were similar but not the same to what Ringo…
