The Fifth Element cigarette dispenser...

metal wood

Well-Known Member
thinking of tackling the cigarette dispenser from the 5th Element. this will be my first real build of anything solid, yes im a new comer to this forum and to this hobby/life, always loved building, mainly wood and metal what nots... blah blah. was wondering if anyone in this realm has ever built one, seen one or have any pointers?
thanks for whatever
 
Maybe it would have helped if you told us that you'd been through that thread, but are still looking for specific information x y z.

And that specific information you are looking for is ....... ?
 
You could possibly see if you could gather some more reference for it, if you have a blu ray copy or DVD you could get some screencaps.

The build will be a lot easier once you have more reference as folks here can chip in more ideas for how to get around certain problems or give you advice on certain areas.

I will say from that other thread that I doubt it's clear flexible tubing, to me it looks more like hard plastic or even glass tubing in the reference. Clear tubing seems to have a very slight 'cloudiness' to me. But I could be wrong ;-)
 
If you want to know what the text behind the cigarettes is............I dont know either, otherwise as Alan said, you might want to be a little more specific, you asked if anyone had made made one, seen one etc well as far as I know thats the only replica that exists.
 
First off, welcome.

Second off, understand that you are dealing with people that like and work with specifics, so this is the type of personality that makes up the majority of members. We don't read minds or presume to know exactly what you need or mean to type, so please be as specific as you can. Again, welcome.

Awesome.:thumbsup
 
All I can get is this. Give me a minute to see if I can get zoom to work so I can try to make out what is behind the tubes.
EDIT: No zoom and a larger screen made things worse. I am adding items I am not certain about in parentheses. Parentheses within parentheses are items I am even less sure about. Dots represent the tubes.
