I'm taking a ceramics class this semester and one of our projects is making a tall coil pot so I decided to re-create an ampule from Prometheus and alien covenant! I only have a few classes to make it so it wont be perfectly accurate and I had to tone down the size for time, the smallest ones in the movie were about 17 inches, mine is already shorter than that at 16 inches and will end up much smaller once fired, but it is not a prop I am super passionate about so i cant be too picky! Plus they have a lot of variation in the movie, so maybe mine is just a runt haha
still a work in progress, gotta clean up the top half
im not sure how they finished them for the movie, normally i would paint something like this to match since i know how to do that, but it is required we glaze it. I was looking into metallic glaze and this looks pretty good, but I cant find an image of anything it was used on so i cant tell for sure
Western Metallic Pint #206 Gunmetal Glaze
here is a picture of some of the screen used props:
Also does anyone know where i can find an accurate engineer alphabet? ive seen this image floating around but it doesn't really match the engravings on the ampules:
