Congratulations, Mike!! Absolutely stunning photos of the Dick Smith head and F13 Part 6 dummy...You really MUST have some incredible connections to get even close to any of that stuff. Did Dick cast AND paint the Reagan blank? If not, who did do the finishing work? It looks phenominal.
The rest of those "purchases" look splendid as well. You certainly have lucked across some nice pieces in the past few decades. I\'d imagine that, back then, screen-used and movie-made items were a lot easier to get good deals on, before the hobby exploded into the megaton force that it is today. Now it\'s nearly impossible to purchase props like those unless you have really, really deep pockets...
Also, great work on Justin\'s part for the restoration. The Part 6 looks as if it were brand new (though it never quite looked old to begin with, in my opinion...hehe). Do you have any photos of the piece before restoration you\'d be willing to share with us?
And Aaron....That picture rocks! those two Aliens look nearly identical! Not to mention that they\'re in pristine condition! I waaaaaant oooone!
Cheers,
Ryan
