3D Printed Props from The Green Hornet!

3D printed models of props

The portrait was recreated in Photoshop

Still from an episode of The Green Hornet

You’re probably thinking “who the heck would want a retro TV model and a painting of an old guy?”  Well I wanted to have a couple of small set pieces to display with my custom figures.  Since the only type of market research I do when designing these toys is asking myself what I’d like, I often end up making some things that might be considered very “niche!”  But if other people like them as well, then that’s great!  These pieces are taken from the 1966 show and represent some of the props that were in Britt Reid’s office.  

The portrait is that of Britt’s father, Dan Reid, as made reference to by the character Mike Axford.  One lesser known piece of Green Hornet trivia is that of Britt’s relationship to the Lone Ranger.  The Lone Ranger’s nephew is Dan Reid, who is said to be the father of Britt Reid.  So Britt is, in turn, the grandnephew of the Lone Ranger. In the timeline of the 1966 show however, that may make less sense as too many years would have spanned between the two character's, although it seemed to fit more the timeline of The Green Hornet in the 1930’s when he was first created.  I could have some facts mixed up here but it’s something like that!  Meanwhile, I don’t know what that odd statue is on the TV but is sure looks like it too would make a cool 3D print!  If only I could find a better photo of it somewhere!
