New Rental Inventory:                                       Phone Line Simulator

This unassuming little device, does something quite useful.
​It can ring phones on cue...  and provide a phone-to-phone talk-path!

One just plug two phones into the device. Whichever is picked up first,  rings the other...  and talk-path is established!

"Fake" and "Real" Thermobaric Bombs - ARROW

12/7/2017

0 Comments

 
This project was co-produced by
WHITE MONKEY DESIGN and PROPOLOGY.
Due to the scale of the build (and time constraints) design and construction activities were shared by both companies at the request of the
ARROW Prop Department.

The "Fake" Bomb... (episode 607)

Picture
A thermobaric bomb is currently the world's most powerful,
​non-nuclear, explosive device.
As scripted however, this particular example is a non-functional ruse.

The "Real" Bomb... (episodes 610 & 612)

Picture
In a subsequent episode, the thermobaric bomb reappears
...albeit, looking somewhat different.
In this scenario, the bomb is now "REAL", and must be dealt with
​in the most decisive and heroic way possible!

    We Need Your Input

    It's our goal to create an archive that showcases our prop building history.

    Our company, formally known as MOLNAR MOTION PICTURE PROPS, INC., has produced countless items since its creation in 1987. Much of our earliest prop builds still exist, and can be found in various prop rental houses, or in the hands of private collectors. 

    If you know the current whereabouts of, or can provide any production anecdotes pertaining to any of the items listed in the early posts, please let us know.  We will expand upon the archive on a ongoing basis as information becomes available.

    We appreciate your valuable contribution!
