He also didn't mention the intermediate crank engine. I had one but cannot remember much about it. I got it in a car and it was a crate engine that came from FM. It was built for "whoever that girl was that had a 400 HP red turbo Miata way back" and was a cross between the small and large crank. I've heard there were very few of them made. I have pics somewhere but cannot really remember many details about it.

From the 2003 "The Magic of Myth" exhibition at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. Even though I have worked on numerous TV sets (where the same thing holds true), it still amazes me just what you can get away with in terms of sloppy detail even in a hero prop without it being noticed.

Yeah, the Vader breastplate from the ROTJ costume used during the Battle of Endor.
OG = Original Gangsta?
Amusing fact: when all of the local TV stations started upgrading their studio cameras and doing the local news in HD, many of them were also forced to re-build, and in some cases, re-design the news set. In addition to being incorrectly proportioned for a 16:9 framing (eg, the green screen was not wide enough, or the sports desk was too close to the main anchor desk, or the backdrop didn't extend far enough past the anchors, etc) it suddenly became apparent to the viewers that, when seen in its full 1080p glory, the news set actually looked like crap.
Wardrobe & makeup were similarly affected.
I've seen some star trek OG phasers in person. they look silly and dull like cheap toys.

Anyone catch the most recent Newsweek magazine? (Yeah, I know. Printing information on paper? Who does that?)
Apparently they went retro for the entire issue as an homage to Mad Men. Everything, including the ads, were composed in a 1960's retro style. Cool stuff.
