It is well known that movie props are often made to hold up for as long as needed during the shoot. I couldn't tell you how many times I had to repair something on set to get it through the day.
So when it comes to trying to create a prop that is both aesthetically similar yet practical, there are often parts that simply don't hold up in in the real world. I suspect many of you have spent some time at conventions and various other places in full gear and have had to deal with broken props.
As I build my trap I am trying to anticipate problem areas, but I thought I would ask you guys if you had any tales of trap failures and where I should concentrate some extra effort to assure it doesn't fall apart.
