Homemade Props and Sets
« on: June 14, 2008, 01:52:56 AM »
As I've mentioned here before, I host an annual TPIR show as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  The show is later this year, but I'm already preparing.

This year, in addition to everything else, I have to repaint all of my props and sets to resemble their new TV counterparts.

I wanted to share the results of this year's biggest project with everyone.

I have three theater flats that are 8ft tall by 4ft wide, and for the last four years, they've had the pink/light blue/dark blue turntable pattern on them.  Of course, they had to be repainted with purple hypercyloids on them! (I'm a perfectionist like that!)

So I went from this...

To this...

And finally to this...

If these things meet the approval of my fellow "game show geeks", then I know my audience will be impressed!  Any and all comments are welcome.  

Thanks!

-Sam

You're missing one thing.  Got a few strings of Christmas tree lights hanging around?  :)

Sam - please go on with the show now that Lemon's given his approval.

Honestly, though, nice job on them!

Do you have authentic models to go with the sets?  :-)
