LOOEY'S PROPS: GREYSTANES HORSE SKULL MASK

So, I know this bloke called Ryan Cauchi... He's another Fanboy made good who has produced a number of short Horror films that have had success on the International Film Festival circuit.

I'd previously got a screen credit for providing a prop German helmet for use in the film Golem, that featured a stop motion clay monster putting paid to the Nazis!

Anyway, Ryan contacted me about his new project, a TikTok horror mini series featuring creatures from Maltese folklore and the 1990's period adventure of characters from the Maltese? Australian diaspora.

The main villain is a character called Il Hadiela, who is a vengeful Grandmother, a little like the John Carpenter Halloween villain.

Il Hadiela wears a self-made Horse's skull mask. After a lot of discussion, I suggested that as she is an undead old lady, maybe she's dressed in Victorian style lace clothing and her mask is made from scraps of these clothes.

After some plasticene concept models sculpted over Barbie dolls, I began building the full sized mask using EVA foam sheet cut into strips to mimic basketwork.

As I needed two camera identical outfits, I built them both at the same time, matching every scrap of lace!

This was me out of retirement and into a refreshing return to the low budget collaborations, that I loved so much back on the Ozsploitation Cowboy days of the 80's!

CHRIS'S 3D ROCKET BASE

Fellow toy enthusiast here, and a huge, huge, HUGE fan of your site - and REALLY wish had as many cool boot sales in my neck of the woods!

Anyway, thought you might like to see my current hobby project: an old-school, retro sci-fi 3D printable build-your-own rocket toy - with plenty of accessories and ephemera as well!

Some additional panels

Anderson Entertainment revealed a new pre-order Eagle ‘toy’ which takes it’s inspiration from the seventies classic Mattel Eagle toy.

They also brought along a model Eagle Hangar diorama built by Richard Ashton, to showcase their line of 10” Eagle models, the latest being the V.I.P. version (not shown) which, I’m reliably informed will soon be followed by the Pallet (Cargo) Eagle.

Fanderson had their own stand too, giving away goodie bags, and selling their brand new Space:1999 Super Space Theatre soundtrack CD’s featuring Destination: Moonbase Alpha and Alien Attack.

They were also selling a brand new set of 50 ‘Sweet Cigarette ‘cards featuring images from the second season, following on from the original seventies Barrett set of cards.

The Star Crow

Its not a toy I know at all.
