1. The Mummy Box Set - and detail of box
One of my favorite movies is The Mummy, and the coolest prop in the movie is a hexagonal puzzle box. When I get a chance, I’d like to design this object too. Here are some photos and informative links I’ve found:
- The cover of the Mummy Box DVD Set.
- What appears to be a homebrew prop replica.
- What appears to be an actual movie prop.
Sure, it’s frivolous. However, I like the design challenge inherent in replicating this prop, getting the pieces to fit, perhaps even getting it to spring/pop open.
