Incredible work. Alien has another terrific prop recreation added to the list.
Sensational (throws money at the screen)Thanks...it's a chrome plating service. I posted details earlier in this thread
So, managed to grab a bit of time to continue this project. I have all the elements finished now...just the melon twisting job of getting it all to move and work correctly

This is all truly remarkable work. Bravo sir. I've spent a lot of time creating an animated auto distruct graphic as it is in the movie. I'm just wondering is the crt tv in your video clip stretching the image top to bottom? Where as with the movie, the octagon is wider than it is tall.That's really great! Whatever you got playing the audio also sounds good. A lot of time when people have audio on their props it comes off very tinny and unimpressive.
Thanks...the top and bottom are clipped a bit on my CRT TV but it still works okThis is all truly remarkable work. Bravo sir.

Wow! Incredible work.Another step closer...really chuffed with how these keypads turned out. 2 of the buttons have momentary switches which activate a central locking system that pops all 4 activation bolts simultaneously

Thanks dude...So, I did the graphic and had it printed straight onto an opal acrylic sheet. Then I used the 3d model of the keypad to generate a template to produce SVG files to laser cut the buttons. To operate the release mechanism there are stalks connected to a central locking system and to finish it off I used under cabinet flat LED lightsWow! Incredible work.
How did you end up creating the buttons? Individually printed opal acrylic pieces? What are you using underneath them to make them work? How are you lighting them?
Sorry for all the questions but this looks fantastic!
