After several starts and stalls on this project, I think I finally have it.

Over 144 individual pieces used to make up the arc. Powered by 120v LED lights with a handy on/off switch.:thumbsup

I think this is by far the most intense prop I have ever tackled. It involved CNC work, laser cutting, molding and casting, electrical, found items, etc.

Hope you enjoy!

I will also be updating my WIP thread as soon as I sift through a couple hundred images I took.

I love this display. when I saw the film this was the thing I wanted the most from it. Your version looks absolutely amazing. Great work :thumbsup

Any left over pieces? :angel
 
So... That's the reason you weren't online so much lately? I would not be surprised if it will work for real!!!:lol
Great work Jmtwo, as usual!:cool:thumbsup
 
Oh man, that is amazing! It looks exactly like its on screen counterpart. All of those various bits you did to make the final arc, is really worth it by the looks of it. The display is outstanding.

I too am interested if a run of these happens.

Wow, I was planning on doing one of these for myself and had done a bunch of the measurement, but wow. That is just amazing.

What did you use for the back of the display? The black circular cage bit. I could never figure out what to use for that.
