Want to draw attention at your conference, convention or large event? Want to propose in true geek fashion? We got the goods! Hangar 18 makes and displays large scale replicas of our favorite props around the southeast US.
We began with ALT*Con Florida 2013. What drew the crowds and made people send texts to their friends going "OMGWTFBBQ! Get here now!" was the ALT*Con TARDIS, a FULL-SIZE replica of the 2005 David Tennant TARDIS. People were able to step inside, pose, take photos and squeal their happy Whovian hearts out. TARDIS Mark 1 (as we called her) was raffled off at ParaCon 2013 in Pensacola, FL, and we created a beautiful Mark 2 (also a 2005-era) to take to Cinncinnati Comicon.
Floating around our workshop (not literally) for years has been pieces of a Stargate chevrons that Brian had sculpted long ago. He held up a piece on day, turned to his wife, and said "I've always wanted to build a full-scale Stargate. I've already thought of how to make it turn and lock onto the chevrons." His wife proceeded to run and search for her VHS of the original 1994 Stargate. The replica isn't on the worktable yet, but will be soon.
One large prop in the works, after a coin flip decision, is a interior/exterior piece of the Millennium Falcon. That's right, the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy will be sitting at ALT*Con 2014, at least, the cockpit will be. You can grab your copilot, your Princess and your sweet vest, and become the pilot of the Millennium Falcon.
The other side of that coin flip ... was the cockpit to the "Serenity", the Firefly-class vessel from the TV Series "Firefly" and the film "Serenity". Oh, you know that ship? Yes, that is another project in the line.
