Already got this mask covered...

...would be cool to come across the bald mask from MM1 and the blaster mask from MM3.

I've got the peanut butter and honey sandwich with one bite taken out of it if anyone wants to complete thier MM1 collection.


Email me. Any offers over $20 will be seriously considered. (I take payPal)


Matter of fact, I can lay my hands on an almost endless supply of them. Just say the word.


LOL! Image

Hey Biker


In order to ensure that your replica peanut butter and honey sangers are as authentic as possible I will sell you a plaster cast of Mel's teeth circa 1976 taken by his orthodontist and retrieved from a rubish bin ... LOL

Nice E-11 mockup, Madmaxing. Where did you get the short magazine? The ones used in the films are 10-round riot control mags. Very rare in the States but Bapty&Co (the movie gun wranglers who supplied the weapons for SW) seems to have no shortage of them. I saw a Japanese-made Sterling replica at a gun show last year. This was one of the good ones that were importable back in the early '80's, all metal with moveable bolt and folding stock. An E-11 build popped into my mind until I saw the price tag, $600!! The guy is on drugs.


PursuitSpecial. What year is your Charger? We can only see the roofline. How about a full-view pic?

Thanks for the offer Pacific Muscle but actually it's not necessary, several years ago I had my teeth surgically altered to match those of Mr Gibson. Now I'm not saying I'm fanatical about accuracy here, but I do like my peanut butter and Honey sandwiches to be 130% correct. Finding the genuine Australian movie correct bread can be difficult though. Lucky I have a source for that too. Thanks Adrian. Image


Thanks to all those who enquired about buying these sandwiches. Please send your tupperware tubs to me in self addressed packaging.


I thank you

PS That Phalanx gun looks cool March Hare. But I watched in slack jaw wonder at a GAU-8 firing bullets the size of your thumb on youtube. Here's the link to it:

Imagine getting to play with one of those and get paid for it too in your day job?! As Emil said in Robocop "I like it!!"

I found the short magazine laying right next to the bandsaw blade after I got done cutting down a full sized one. ;)


I paid $300 US for the "parts kit", but it could have been bought for $200 US in the same condition, I found out later. I built the gun to the way I always believed they were based on my memories of watching the movie all my life. I didn't like the notion of rubber wiper blades like Lucas used for the fins so I machined aluminium fins like in Return of the Jedi myself and put them on. That's a real WW II tank scope.


Here's what the parts looked like when they arrived...

Can you guys with the gun stuff start your own post? This thread has been hijacked enough. Maybe one of the mods can clear out the off topic stuff?





To get back on the subject, here's my latest acquisition:

It even has a copyright date of 1977!

Is that the same mask Max was pulling on before he snapped and went 'Mad'?
