2001 A Food Tray Odyssey

[Lunajammer]

Maybe the simple answer is to buy the gold ones, which are pretty affordable still, and color match a radiance automotive blue and just paint 'em.

Went to Amazon (U.S./Canada) and didn't find those particular cups...Lunajammer, where are you located?

They're vintage. They date to the 60's. Gotta go to ebay. They show up in thrift stores, flea markets and antique stores from time to time, so even though I've been looking for the blue ones, the gold ones are still attainable. (I'm in Fargo, ND).

 

[joberg]

Thanks for the info Lunajammer...Fargo, ND...not far from Manitoba

My "allegedly" production used 2001 cutlery just arrived and I would love to display them together with the tray.

The set contains of three pieces marked in the picture (long knife/fork, slightly shorter spoon), if that helps anybody.

 

[joberg]

Do you have the tray already Kukulcan?

Nope, would like to buy one

I have the silverware but no tray, food modules, or cup.

Should you ever decide to offer these, joberg, I imagine there would be a lot of interested members here (I among them).

Beautiful work as always, by the way!

Thanks temponaut As for producing this particular tray...some explanations are needed:
I've build the tray from scratch, including the food trays. This prop should be done as a vacu-form tray and food trays. I don't have a vacu-form machine macropod80 has vacu-formed the tray (great work, btw) and used a brand of Thermoware called Arnoldware for the food trays, vintage '60s.

The cup is also a transformed found item. As lunajammer said, these cups can be found, sometimes, on Ebay... also vintage.
It would be too difficult and expensive for me to do those...sorry guys

Little update on the tray; thanks to a gracious member, John (aka Calumet), who sent me the right vintage cup, seen in the movie. Thanks again John!

All-RIGHT! Swear to God, I've been keeping my eye out for you at thrift stores and flea markets because I know how these things never feel complete until they're right. Looks perfect, I'm glad for you. The correct blue ones are tough muggins to find.

Thanks...and yes, it seems like the blue one are harder to find for some reason. I whish my small trays were better

Very nice. I'd love to see some better images of the cup, if possible.

I'm sure you've clicked on the image and made it bigger. As for measurements it's:
Top: 2 3/4 inches.
Lip from the rim: 3/8 of an inch.
Bottom: 2 3/8 inches.
Height: 5 inches.
I hope it helps.

Thanks!

I just got a very good copy of the cutlery and would love a tray.
