Nothing amazing, but a piece I have wanted for a while. This is the stasis chamber mask from Pandorum. These were made form chopping up an Empire Helix paintball mask.

Wow that was fast Art. I just saw you asking about this on Facebook and you already have one! Looks very cool displayed like that. Congrats.
Haha. I already had this one. I am looking for that other one in particular.

PROMETHEUS: Wall Sculpture + Ampule
I got these three decorative wall sculptures/tiles from Prop Store 4 years ago.
ALIEN has been one of my absolute favorite movies since childhood, so when Ridley Scott returned to the franchise with PROMETHEUS, I was very, very excited.
I love the movie, and the fact that so much of it was filmed in camera, with real sets and props. The props are extremely detailed - and I knew I had to get some for my collection, when Prop Store began offering them.
This is one of two identical sets seen in the movie. Both sets are located on each side of the bar in Vicker’s (Charlize Theron) quarters on the Prometheus.
The tiles are made from resin and solid fibreglass, so they’re quite heavy.
The surface is pitted like real stone and is painted to look like dark gray granite.
I’ve never seen the other set come up for sale/auction. So maybe a cast/crew-member kept it, I don’t know. But would be fun to know where it went, maybe someone here got it?
The Medium-sized Ampule is from the Head Chamber, and it’s the same size as the one David takes. I got this one from Prop Store as well, 5 years ago.
It’s made from hard foam and resin and is hollow. It’s got a very detailed paintjob going on, imitating the unique metallic multi-color surface you get with raku clay burning. (The hero ampules were made from raku) The weathering looks like a kind of corrosion.
These are the only screen-used props I got, so far. But I love them, and it’s fun to own something that you’re able to point out in specific scenes.

Love the wall art!! So easy to ID!
Holy Crap!!! That is a piece of film making history. That is the inner working of film making and much more precious than any prop.

Yeah! Me too, they are beautiful, and add some style to the livingroom.
Yep, and easily ID’ed, as opposed to the ampule, which is one out of several hundreds. Would be great to know exactly which of the two sets it is though, but yeah.
I have a feeling it might be the set on the left, as the middle piece on mine is a bit scratched up..
In a deleted scene, leading up to the trilobite attack, Shaw enters Vicker’s quarters, she gets a drink in the bar, the engineer shows up and looks through the room, he finds Shaw and she attacks him with an axe.
During this scene, the middle and lower piece of the wall art are missing, probably been placed or thrown among the scattered books on the floor, leaving some damage to it. But it’s just speculation.

Agreed. I can see it becoming a real centre-piece. I've already had someone track me down from the auction, begging for a copy. Lol.
It's really quite something, obviously unique and it's blimmin T2!!!
I have never owned a prop that was so small and simple yet was so significant (and cost so much). These are a pair of Walter White's iconic glasses from Breaking Bad. We have them with a COA from Screenbid who sold quite a bit of the Breaking Bad collection. We have dozens of original Breaking Bad pieces, but this is a hard one to beat. While we haven't screen-matched them yet, these would have been Season1-Season 2.

Screen used David Drawings from Alien Covenant. Not the most interesting sketches but both can easily be seen and matched to both the film and bts tested video. Really love having these

It has been a pain since this is a non-speaking background character but I finally screen matched this costume to the Volm scout designated "little hood" within the fan community.

So did Magnoli nail them or what?
Knowing Indy Magnoli , I would guess the answer would be YES, but I don't know. We didn't get his glasses.
Congrats. Your best bet is to post photos and ask if anyone knows what the item is from. It is shocking how often someone will be able to ID an item.

I've gotten a bunch of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts graphic props, and a lot of Smaug's treasure from the second Hobbit film recently (plus some production stuff and stuff owned by Elijah Wood). Also one of the lightsaber battle rotoscoping sheets (hand-drawn) from the Empire Strikes Back. Love it. Got it all as gifts from a few people. Definitely gonna get some props on my own soon though.
