Each and everyone of these props have been individually painted and weathered by hand. These props range from "refurbished" artifacts, to scratch-built props, to rubber, plastic and foam casts from homemade molds. Note that these photos were all taken by Chris Lee, Riku Wakita, and myself. Each photo was edited by me. Special thanks to Area Manager, Jon Crimmins, for allowing us to shoot at an amazing location.
