Mystic Seer build Thread

I hope I finish this or this will be a complete waste of time....LOL

I've long been a Twilight Zone fan and in my top five is certainly "Nick of Time". There is a pretty talented guy who built some reproductions of the Mystic Seer in this episode.

Anyway, he said that he isn't building any more so I decided to give it a go. There are some small cheap-o bobble head knock offs out there which I bought to get the head. (hasn't arrived yet) Here's where I'm at.

Now mine won't actually spit out the fortunes but you'll be able to pull one out. It will be a functional napkin dispenser/bank though. I have a friend who is quite the artist that I'm going to get to hand paint the stars and labels as they were on the one on the show. Hopefully I'll have more to post tomorrow.

One of my favorite episodes too Perry. Shat is at his OCD'ing best in that one..lol.

Good luck with the build....[B][I]It is Quite Possible..[/I][/B]

So anyway.......The reproductions I've seen have all been red. Granted, it makes for a nice display piece red but it appears to me in the show they are silver or just plain old metal color. In one it almost looks like it was made from zinc. Doing it a little different I'm going with silver.

Different direction. Two stage silver (I didn't like the other). First black, then silver over it. I just had to place the head to see how it would look. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30163[/ATTACH]

Anyway, it's now silver. I'll post a finished pic as soon as it's finished.

Almost finished.

That's pretty damn cool! Nice job!!

There's no question about it..

I like it great go of it!

lmao, thats awesome, good build !

What are the dimensions of the box Perry?

Roughly 8 1/4 wide. 9 inches tall and 5 inches deep.

That is extremely cool. I'm picturing it as the centerpiece of a display that includes the cookbook for humans, Mr. Bemis's shattered glasses, the jack-in-the box created by Bill Mumy and the spaceship that chases Agnes Morehead all over the farmhouse.

That would be cool. I've got a couple racoons that get into my trash that I'd like to stuff to represent "The Hunt". :D

LOL. "The Hunt" was always one of my favorite episodes. A bit sappy but nice, nonetheless. I haven't seen it in years though. I look for it when Scy Fy runs the marathons but never see it.

I love "The Hunt". It's definately in my top 5. Yes, sappy but you can't help but like it. I know I've seen it not that long ago.

In no particluar order.....

Nick of Time
The Hunt
A Stop at Willoughby. (I lived in Willoughby Ohio as a kid so........)
Of Late I think of Cliffordville. (Julie Newmar is incredibly hot as Miss Devlin)
The Midnight Sun. I don't know why but I've always liked this.

The rest are tied at 6.

Good list. I'll go with

The Hunt
3rd From the Sun
Eye of the Beholder
The Invaders
Miniature
