Prop search

Well, damn.

I'm searching for a human skull. Plastic is fine...actually, preferred.

The character of Solace wears a skull as a canteen, and the original - made sometime in, oh, 1989 - is worse for wear. I'd found a pretty nice one at http://www.egeneralmedical.com for a reasonable price, but according to the email I got today, they're so popular the company can't keep them in stock.

I know you used to be able to find cheap plastic model kits for them at all the hobby shops, and that would be just fine because they're easy to modify, but I'm having some difficulty now.

The search goes on.

The original one that you used so many years ago was one of those plastic model kits, wasn't it? Which brings me to the question-- Was that thing really that safe to drink out of for all those years? Maybe you're better off not knowing...

Yeah, just a plastic model kit, sealed on the interior with eboxy and common plastic tube to get the liquid (lemonade was always fun) up to behind the teeth and out the mouth.
