I’ve found a source online for an acrylic display riser with 3 7/8” inside measurement and 4” outside, it should be a perfect fit. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to post the company name, but feel free to pm me if you want. I haven’t ordered it yet, but will update once I do and receive it. I did...

I checked just about everywhere for a acrylic container today and wasn’t able to find anything with the right diameter, the lights cover is 3 7/8”(96mm). I found a source online for acrylic pipe with 3 7/8” inside diameter, I think that might be the only option unless anyone here knows where I...

That’s basically what I did with my UK1200. I actually just peeled off the labels and painted it black today, though I don’t like the look of satin so I’m going to repaint it flat black instead. Just a warning though, don’t use adhesive remover on the clear bezel. Mine had part of and old...

I’ve also come to the conclusion that the lights used in The Lost World are similarly modified Pelican dive lights based on the shape of the body. They don’t appear to have the same clear extension, but use the same extra reflector setup inside the cover from what I can tell.

That’s awesome, thank you for the pictures. It’s been so long since I’ve watched City Slickers that I completely forgot about the lights in the movie. The same setup is used in Congo and it’s clearly yellow UK lights. After looking at your pictures it almost look like some type of focusing tube...

I’m going to attempt to make the flashlight used by Ellie in the bunker scene. I found a brand new Underwater Kinetics UK1200 dive light as that’s what I understand was originally used as well as a UK600. I’m having trouble figuring out what was used as the clear extended defuser and was...

This is so awesome, I was a 240B gunner 17 years ago. It sucked to carry, but always worked. I would love to have something like this to display in my house. Great job.

I’m going to have to rebuild mine now. It amazes me how much research you guys do to identify these parts. When I was building mine I thought I read somewhere that the tube part that on the connector was a diesel glow plug. Did that part ever get identified for sure.

Awesome

Thank you.

I made this about 5 years ago with the intention to make it a costume for my son. The head, hands and feet are all wearable, but I never made a body suit. The body is a pvc pipe frame wrapped in foam stuffing with the fur glued directly on it. These aren’t the best pictures, it’s shoved in a...

You’re welcome. Looking forward to seeing your build.

I ended up cutting down an old drill bit to fit the co2 cartridges together. It was all I had at the time, I don’t remember what size it was. The copper pipe I originally wanted to use had an outside diameter that was the same of the cartridge so I found a bit that fit. If I was going to do it...

Thanks everyone

It’s all done.
