My first Prop Build, Eureka Comunicator

[DocTony]

This was my first prop build, I use cad software and a small CNC machine I got on eBay. I made the original out of scrap wood, cleaned it up and made a silicon mold. The finished one is resin and I painted it using a aluminum Krylon.

It was a simple piece and a fun one to make. I am really liking this show and look forward to more props I can make for my collection.

I will get better pics here soon.

Yeah I just finished a 5th element Father Cornelius Belt Buckle.

The machine just has a 12 X 12 working area but I am having fun with it

I'm interested in one. Unfortunately I'm to new to post my interest in the thread provided. So I don't know if that is a factor or not. Thanks.

Cool communicator. Count me as interested if a run of brass or bronze Cornelius buckles is made.

I just picked up some material to cold cast them also looking into machining some out of 1/8 inch brass

I'd be more interested in the machined ones, as I don't think cold cast buckles would hold up well to the strain that would be put on them.
