Thought it was about time that I start a thread on my Fifth Element Multipass Build.

I've taken photos along the way and I'll get those up when I get a chance.

But since I've just completed it, I'll start with the finished pass. :)

Dude, this is Awesomely cool(yea, I just made up a word)!

If I were you I would make the yellow button a little more mustard color and this would be perfect.
 
Re: My Multipass (build)

Wow, that REALLY does look great. I am really diggin the inclusion of the grommet! And your acrylic rod looks great. Looking forward to seeing some step-by-step action!

dude...this is great!!i love it.the movie is not one of my faves..but the prop is really nice.i want one!
 
Re: My Multipass (build)

Yep, I used two sided tape to attach mine.

I recommend applying the tape before cutting the artwork and make sure you put the strips close together -butting the edges together, otherwise you might get a slight ridge line on the art from the gap when you push it down.

On to the work in progress photos!

So the first thing I noticed on the kit was that there is a bit more styrene on the top 'arm' then necessary.

easy fix thou, just flip the top and use the bottom width as a guide. (always nicer to have too much then not enough right?)

Extend the lines

using a straight edge cut with a sharp X-acto knife, make a bunch of light cuts instead of a few hard cuts. Be careful not to cut the rounded end part of the arm!

Re: My Multipass (build)

I've not forgotten this, I just need to take some photos of the rod.
Then I'll write up how to do the battery cover. :)

Mate that is excellent. Has to be the best Multipass build I have seen...can I send you mine to do?
 
Re: My Multipass (build)

Mate how generous is that! I was only kidding. But thanks!! I will see how I go, I have 2 to do. So I am bound to pick your brain a few times. I did one years ago, but it did not turn out anywhere close to as good as yours. So I have something to aim for now.

What did you use for the rod, and where did you get the brass grommet?
