Time Bomb Prop

This is a little something I built during my spare time. It was a very simple build, to be honest, the hardest part was the wait for the paint to dry! The inspiration for this build was this video on IndyMogul.

how about a mall :P
dombeef in reply to tobyscoolAug 17, 2011. 6:45 AM
Nope, or anywhere in the public!

Lol. Yeah, coz if I was making a real bomb I would paint it red and write "bomb" all over just so people knew.

Funny you mention that. A few years ago a guy in Seattle put a car in a public plaza, a junker, and spray painted "Car Bomb" on the side. Ha-ha big joke.
Cops absolutely freaked out! What was meant to be conceptual art was viewed as a threat to public security. They arrested him, it took him months to extricate himself from the mess.

Law officers are very humorless...at least in Seattle.

Do cops have common sense (Which I guess is not so common anymore)? I mean really, if someone has a car bomb, they aren't going to tell everybody about it.

I did this with fusee's/road flares for a halloween prop. I left under the rear windshield in my car for a few weeks. You should have seen the looks on peoples faces.

Awesome prop Mattrox!!!! And by the way, thanks for the patch! :-)

Thanks.
No problem, you deserved it. :P

You know, there are better ways to get a ride to the FBI.
I think nothing good could come from this 'ible. Pre 911, well, it probable wouldn't have been good then, but now? Are you insane? As funny as yelling fire in a crowded theatre. Probably similar results.
Mattrox (author) in reply to burnerjack01Aug 25, 2011. 4:33 PM
P.s. This is a prop. Not something I walk around town with.
burnerjack01 in reply to MattroxAug 25, 2011. 4:43 PM
I know it's a prop, YOU know it's a prop. In this post 9/11 world, it may generate an unintended response. A great prop none the less, I myself would probably keep it at home. Muslims are taking the fun out of lots of things...

If you read my other answer, you should have figured out I'm in New Zealand. Also we aren't post 9/11, no New Zealander has any worries about bombs or anything like that.
Mattrox (author) in reply to burnerjack01Aug 25, 2011. 2:38 AM
Sorry, but no FBI in New Zealand. Also if I took this to a mall, everyone would be like "Wow, Nice toy" Not "Holy Shamperoni! He's got a Bomb!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!

Mattrox, take some advice from the comic book set:"Use your powers for GOOD".
bfarm says: Aug 24, 2011. 6:47 AM
Hide it in your friend's carry on before they leave for the airport. April Fools!
burnerjack01 in reply to bfarmAug 24, 2011. 6:45 PM
"friends"? Hey, I've got a great sense of humour, BUT,,,,
Mattrox (author) in reply to bfarmAug 24, 2011. 1:08 PM
Hahaha! I wonder how much trouble they'd get into!
hightekrednek2396 says: Aug 24, 2011. 2:56 PM
This would be awesome to take to a military convention put it in the center and have a note that reads"1:00 minute or have a smiley fate!"
Mattrox (author) in reply to hightekrednek2396Aug 24, 2011. 3:19 PM
Lol, I'm not sure if "awesome" is the right word. Very Nasty on the other is more fitting.
