The frames look great, what is your plan for the large radius edges? I suspect the desk in the film was a fiberglass shell.
Eric I remember you showing me pictures here and there on your phone, but I haven't seen all of these. This is absolutely amazing. I guess next prop party is at your joint.
Whether you'll use the MDF (more work) or the ply, you'll end up with the same result. I used kerfed MDF and ply before to make skateboards and I didn't see the diff. at all.
That desk needs to hang by the next update:thumbsup
