Posted 12.Dec.01 Propping Up the Rangers: A Trip through the Props Department Clive Edwards has one of the coolest jobs on the set of B5: The Legend of the Rangers: He's in charge of the props, those everyday items the actors handle or even climb into — from space pods to barf bags. Here's a look at some of them, up close and personal. The Star, which Clive calls his prize creation for this project. This prop plays a significant part in the story and we see it prominently in the naming ceremony. Getting the red center to fit properly and maintain it's clarity was a challenge, Clive said. Here we have a grenade. It looks very futuristic but is made from BMW motorcycle hubs. A weapons array on the bridge. Open the top and you have firing controls for forward weapons. This device was made by using an Italian bread box. Every B5 fan is familiar with the fighting pike. It is again an integral part of the continuing story. Here's one that will be used in a fight sequence between Capt. Martel (Dylan Neal) and Kitaro (Warren T. Takeuchi). As an added attraction, that's Clive's very own arm! What was Clive working on during our visit? A barf-bag! Yes, a barf-bag. Suki Parker from the art department helped to transform a standard airsickness bag into something more futuristic looking — and one that could accommodate the head of a Minbari! Now that's a challenge!
