Re: Building the Nostromo Emergency Destruction System Unit.....Possible?

It would be an awesome esky I6, just add a little dry ice and some flashing LED`s.

Your right Spike, from what i can read from your HD grab, they have stuck small, cut out pieces of white acrylic on a base of white acrylic and stuck a light under them, the rubber like borders arent a stretch.

Brilliant.....thanks very much BrundleFly, that just leaves the hubs at the base of the tubes and the tubes themselves to be id`d, was hopeing that Bill from the detonator run might chime in with any ideas but he musnt have seen the thread.

Found at any hobby store.

That should read: any GOOD hobby store.
I asked my local hobby store owner where his Plastruct parts were located and he looked at me like I just kicked him in the head!

It's a fairly simple matter to order one of their catalog's Tim.
Let me know if you need someone to order and or ship to you!

Indeed it it. I'm liking how you've got it resting on the top of that wheelie bin too. Kinda fits in.
