For anyone who didn’t get along to Gunnersbury museum sci fi exhibition Here is Mike Tuckers bit about making the prop from Justice.

I’m guessing F.O.A.D. stands for ‘Fuck Off and Die’, or ‘Fall Over and Die’ as my granddad used to say.

Is the Bisley 2000 a reference to Simon Bisley? He would have been working on ABC Warriors around this time, and the Simulant design in Justice looks a bit like something out of the strip.

What’s the green one? A casting?

I thought it was a reference to the village of Bisley in Surrey, home of the National Shooting Centre.

I think it’s a 3D print made for the museum exhibition display to show people techniques in sci fi prop making, rather than anything historic from the show in the 90’s.  Backwards engineering showing the evolution of TV work. 

Or maybe it’s in case Craig visited and broke the real prop.

I remember back in the mid 90s my local comic shop started trying to sell cream-coloured molds of famous film weapons. They had the Lawgiver gun from the 1995 Dredd film and maybe a Star Wars blaster. They wanted £100-£150 or so for some of them IIRC. Was that a collectibles/merch thing that never took off?
