God Dam Props

Clint, the well-intentioned boss of the post office, does work from his desk when he’s not dealing with Humphrey’s shenanigans.

Clint’s computer and keyboard were first modeled in urethane foam and then cast in plastic.

I first created a cardboard mockup in-camera to ensure the correct sizing of the props within the scale of the world.

In order to fully realize the computer and keyboard, I made graphics for the front, side, and top views of each prop

The graphics were then adhered to blocks of urethane foam so they could be uniformly cut on the bandsaw

I left half-inch sections where I did not fully cut through the foam so that the prop remained attached within the foam block, and each side was perfectly square

Once all sides had the preliminary cuts, I went back and cut all the way through for the final shape of the model

The foam was then sanded with 220-grit sandpaper to make it smooth and prep it for paint and crystal clear

I carved his computer and keyboard out of urethane foam
