This was one of the first movie props I bought back in the late '90s I believe (maybe early 2000s). This pistol was from 'The Flintstones' movie of 1994 and was supposed to be used by one of Bedrock's policeman. The thing is made of cast resin and measures 14.25" (36,19cm) L x 12" (30,48cm) H overall.

For the next few days we're gonna look at a couple of miscellaneous vehicles that Payton sometimes packaged with their sets:
-Delivery Van
-Tanker Truck
both in soft vinyl plastic
I have seen photos of these two trucks in olive green - which one would expect to see in Little Green Army Men sets. BUT, just as the aircraft came in olive green and various bright colors, it would not surprise me if Payton packaged the brighter colored trucks in the sets as well. I say all that because the olive green trucks are VHTF while the bright colored trucks are a easier to track down, leading me to believe you were more likely to find a colored truck in a set than anything else.

After posting the Matchbox Anheuser-Busch wagon the other day, it occurred to me I may have more Budweiser related posts to do. I've posted the Budweiser Clydesdale's and wagon as part of air show coverage in the past but this series of photos is a bit different.
Back in March 2019, the Budweiser Clydesdales visited Nellis AFB. While I've seen them on the flightline during air shows, there have been a couple of times when they visited the Base Exchange (BX) and this was one of them. Bettina ended up taking all the photos for this visit while I made sure the granddaughter didn't get get rambunctious and wander all over the place. It was a bit difficult getting wide shots as this all took place in the confines of a parking lot, but Bettina managed to get off some great shots nonetheless.

Back in the day I was starting to get heavy into movie props, but after a couple of years I stopped. They tend to take up a lot of room and can be pricey. I posted this back in 2013 and for some reason just stopped, never posting the few other props I had acquired.
One of the few Flintstones related props I managed to snag was this really cool plate and napkin set from the movie 'The Flintstone's in Viva Rock Vegas' released in 2000. You can see a boat load of these plates in the casino buffet scene and when my set arrived I was really impressed. First of all, that plate is a heavy sucker. It's made from casting resin and colored to represent rock and is quite a sturdy plate measuring 9.5" (24,1cm) diameter x .625" (1,6cm) thick (the plate stand shown in the photos did not come with the set). The rag is made from brown micro fiber and is held together by a short length of leather and a plastic shell. For Flintstones fans, acquisitions like these are quite special and I'm really glad to have been able to get this cool set.
