Here's my replica of the Dead Man's chest from the pirates of the Carribean franchise for my final univeristy project. Hope you guys like it!
Made it out of wood for the most part. The Decals were 3d print but then sculpted over in clay so I could mould them.Very nice! Is this a 3D print, or did you make this out of wood?
You're absolutely correct. I wanted to have the chest lock and unlock but I ran out of time, I've seen at least one replica actually unlocks although it was significantly more complex.Absolutely Extraordinary !
Especially made of wood.
My analysis is that the key goes in, but does not lock or unlock anything. Which given the non-standard (magical) lock on the on-the-screen chest, this would really be impossible anyway.
Totally Awesome !

If I had more time I would have tried to make it work, maybe ill try it again on my own time.
Jintosh you killed me while I was reading I was thinking of the wire sticking out of the chest to plug it in. Then I thought to myself that it also worked with a battery .... stupid me but that therefore it would be better to provide a lock that opens in case there is no more battery otherwise it will be "The Dead Battery Chest"Man. My mind is always thinking. I just thought of a way to use an Arduino and electromagnet to make an invisible lock that would work on a 3D printed chest like this. The lid would not open to any casual pressure, but when you put the key in and turned the lock, the wood blocks in the lid would come out (Arduino controlled servos) and the magnetic catch on the lid would release and the lid would then open easily.
Another idea that I'll likely never get around to building. I just don't have the time or money for even a cool project that I'd love to have like this.
I study Special effects Model making at the university of Bolton in England, absolutely incredible course that I can't recommend enough.Really very impressive, congratulations. But I am curious to know what studies you are following to make such a project ?

wow, really cool... I don't think we have that kind of study in France. So good continuation for the future , I hope that you will show us other beautiful projectsI study Special effects Model making at the university of Bolton in England, absolutely incredible course that I can't recommend enough.
