Did you use a spring mechanism to operate the doors or are they free-swinging?

Very nice! You did a good job!

Would mind shedding some light as to how you made it?

sure thing. it was mainly built from styrene sheets layed on top of each other and then different thickness plasti-card for the details. the handle was made from balsa wood and i used real skateboard bearings for the wheels like the originals. i took molds of the parts so can knock out copies whenever i need to. the one shown is in fact the first pull from those molds. hope that helped

That looks awesome! Are you thinking of adding any lights on the inside for when the trap is "activated"?

 

[nick-a-tron]

sadly i have no experience with lights and electronics so wont be adding any to my kit. best i can do is paint the light effect on :confused.
