Who did you get to do your chrome if i may ask.
Yup, it was VMC, in the UK. I wanted the pieces chrome plated rather than just the usual spraychrome/2k method that I have used before.Who did you get to do your chrome if i may ask.
I'll second thatCor Blimey
Thanks...I think all the info is already in the thread, but if there's something specific?OK, I'm dying to know the methods and materials for the cooling rods. That looks fantastic!
Heavy lid? No problem emoting while lifting it I kid, of course...eager to see what kind of material you'll use to make a lighter lid!Thanks...I think all the info is already in the thread, but if there's something specific?
Quick update; got the handles fitted to the lever box

I'm hoping to have the hatch lid finished next week...I had to remake it entirely because it was too heavy to spring open. Easily the hardest thing to get right so far
Were the interior rods and outer shell of the cooling tubes readily available perspex dowels/tubing, or were they machined? How was the halo effect achieved? Did you machine grooves in the interior perspex parts for a controlled light bleed? Great work!Thanks...I think all the info is already in the thread, but if there's something specific?
This build is all about problem solving it seems. They clearly used at least 2 separate props to achieve all the functions seen on screen and several pick-up shots on isolated details that probably didn't do anything but appear to trigger other sequenceS. So the dilemma is to produce one box that does everything u see on screen, without all the extra unseen trickery, like remote control or manual assistance.Were the interior rods and outer shell of the cooling tubes readily available perspex dowels/tubing, or were they machined?
