Proposed Stencil Design

This device was to portray a multichannel, radio controlled, detonation device. It was to be attached to the top of a "40 gallon drum of RDX explosive", and  have dozens of detonation wires connected to it...  with two leading to a couple of other "RDX" drums.  Notionally, the detonator device was connected to
dozens of other unseen drums.


To make it more practical for the on set crew to work with, only the first 3" of each steel drums was provided.  With some soil dressed around the perimeter, they would seem almost completely buried, without the effort to bury an entire 40 gallon drum.

    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!
