Thank you everyone!
Really excited to finally have this video created and uploaded to the web.
Similar to the last video I posted on this thread, this is a quick (3.5 minutes) of the entire build process of the metal, electronic and printed components of my ZF1's. It gives you an understanding of how this prop builds up in layers of detail and generally how awesome it is!
Thanks for looking!

mesmerizing and amazing. loved it.
Posted this in Eethan's thread so I thought it could go here as well. I was so grateful to Jake for this amazing piece, both in it's quality and incredible price. Then I thought,...
I should really blame Jake and Eethan for my shrunken bank account. Since a ZF-1 was out of reach financially I did not want to get any other 5th Element props. Then I was able to snag one of Jake's first two ZF-1 pieces and I went on a 5th element bender. Brand new Korbin Dallas blaster, RussRep Mangalore Grenade, Trophies, Keys, Multi Passes, ZF-1 remote, Cigarettes' dispenser,..oh my.

Beyond impressive! looking forward to more!
I'm working on building a flat packable wall mount for my ZF-1. This will enable me to hang it on the wall in my workshop/office!
Similar to those aluminium office shelving systems you can purchase, the arms will hook onto the backplate. The whole lot will be laser/plasma cut in 3mm steel and then potentially powder coated black. The ZORG logo will be a piece of white gloss perspex..
The front arm sits just below the icer and flamer section of the prop. I have radiused the edges to prevent snagging on the paint work. These may also receive some foam edging to protect the ZF-1 further.
The rear arm will sit just underneath the scope. Both arms sit directly onto the main two upright frames of the prop, for maximum security.
Thanks for looking! More updates soon.

Steel turned up this morning. This will be powder coated gloss black to stop rust but I thought I'd test fit it all anyway. There will also be a gloss white backing panel behind the lettering.
The wall mount is holding my original ZF-1 which weighs about 10kg, 2.5 times heavier then the newer versions I create. Works very nicely!!

A yellow background where the Zorg industries is and gloss black arms would also look cool to match the crates.
That is a genius idea. Yellow plastic has been ordered.
Will you be doing a run of these? Would love to hang up the Zorg you built for me!
Tuning the servos of a ZF-1 prop!
I have to say, I would have done the actuators alot different, HOWEVER !!!..... You did it, and i'm just commenting from the safety of my desk, not having built a ZF-1, so, major congrats to you SIR!
PS. Don't forget, cordless drill parts are cheap but very powerful. I use alot of cordless drill motors/planetary gear reduction turning ACME threaded rods. Surpluscenter.com for acme threaded rods and other stuff.

This is a quick WIP of the master we will be using to cast out a fully closed shell, probably in dense PU foam. This means we can pour it in, close up the spout and it'll skin nicely in a single cast. Looking forward to seeing this come together over the next few days.
We got the bits back from the powder coaters and they look fantastic. Nice and industrial and heavy duty! The button head screws will be replaced with black versions.
Thanks to N2darkness for the yellow background idea..
White background too..
Finally, pictures of the ZF-1 sitting on its new wall mount!
I will be making these available for purchase in the Project Run section of the forum.
