I've been working on this for the last few weeks, quite pleased with how it came out :)

The tube is 3mm thick acylic with resin caps on top and bottom.

The graphics were drawn in Illustator, then pinted on acetate. I then masked off the windows and spayed the reverse side of the sheet with acrylic silver.

I used washing up liquid mixed with black paint for the alien 'oil', but not too keen on the 'frothy' look, so will probably do another one with corn syrup.

Can you repost pics? also im working on something similar and im thinking that a motorized aperture with a small spray nozzle in it would work as the whole spraying motion from the film as well as the opening and closing of the tube.

as well as working on the tube i am working on the elusive "transportation" container for the fuel cell.
 
Deep dive into backup drives....
