Aliens floor tile ???

[The Terminator]

If we had a 3D file of the original pallet, anyone know an economical way to get some replicated?

Did you ever try contacting Pinewood Studios?

 

[cavx]

So does anyone have a CAD for this pallet?

THIS LINK is where you (I) can inquire about pricing.

The only catch Min. Qty 200

 

[The Terminator]

Yeah I saw the min qty too... CRAZY
I have a 3D model of it, but since reference pics are scarce it's not exactly accurate.

 

[cavx]

Well if you want to email it to me, I will fill out the on line form (because I have an ABN) and start this ball rolling. PM for email.

Sadly, yes - long gone. Propstore actually had a few of the original Millenium Falcon ones for a bit, but they sold out some time ago...

Pinewood has to have a few left since they were used in SKYFALL :confused

Really? The earlier version seen in my pics? Or the more modern pallet? Do you recall the scene?

Nevermind! went back and checked... no idea how I could have mistaken those generic grating for the SW/Aliens grating. They're nothing alike, so false alarm. :facepalm

okay so lets get a price quote for the 200.
there are a lot of people here, if we can pool the resources maybe we can get these made.
Post up the price so at least we can try for next steps.

I know I would be in for a couple for sure.

I should know a price by Wednesday. Shipping will the challenge unless all you guys in the US use a pallet to ship your pallets...

 

[The Terminator]

use a pallet to ship your pallets...

Too funny

Too funny

But kind of palette are they using?

 

[cavx]

Sorry for not getting this done earlier, but I have made contact (as I have the required ABN) and supplied them with the OBJ(?) 3D model file and am awaiting a reply for quotation for these pallets. If these do come in at a reasonable price, how will we run this? Will this have to move to the JY?

 

[ghostryder]

May be a good idea - please keep us posted...

 

[ghostryder]

 

[cavx]

They can't open the OBJ file Hope they can use the JPEG.

OK I have just been talking to the guy that runs the business.

The tooling is expensive...VERY expensive. Even a Vac Formed version is going to cost several thousand to tool up. Forget injection molding as the tool is into the 6 figures.

He said the closest he has to the pallet you guys are chasing is HERE and as a 2nd hand (in good condition) item, it is $45 each ex Sydney.

Odd I could open it just fine in three different 3D softwares

Who knows why he couldn't open it. I could not either...

Anyway, based on the cost of a custom, probably won't anyway.
Now what he did mention was pallets from Germany are closer to what we want and so tonight whilst picking up some groceries from Aldi, I found this behind the breads.
