Excellent "Make Blog"

One of my favorite "make" blogs is that of Blind Squirrell. It can be found at http://mydumbprojects.blogspot.com/
It's not updated in any manor of regularity but it does contain good tips and tricks for bulding props from inexpensive materials, with a bit of model making thrown in. This is a good read and you're bound to learn something. Even if it's just a new way of working with something. This a good illustration of the fact that you can spend a bit of time on something and make a good quality inexpensive prop. Most of the time his props are made from wood, MDF, and/or other "convention safe materials. Enjoy!
