Thanks again Marcus

I've seen the gate and two gangways, one of which looks really detailed :thumbsup
Haha believe it or not but I know exactly what you mean! First time I experienced it was rather unsettling. You stare at all these tiny details, for such a long, long time. Use all of your focus to not frak it up. That your eyes literally are unable to switch their focus so you essentially become near sighted or in my case even more near sighted. :lol "Work you stupid eyes"
I'm sure you could get even more detailed even on that scale. Using an awesome computer and a later cutter. However forget painting it by hand then. Keep up the good work

- They're paying me in ZPM's' - I need 10 linked in series to gate aboard Destiny and re-install all the stuff that I've acquired as right now she's' just floating in space between galaxies after SyFy and MGM abandoned her - The main thing she needs is her "Power Core" but thats safely tucked away in Illinois awaiting for me to take delivery of the baby

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Babylon 5 (Small Project)
Babylon 5 fans will know that one of the main artifacts / props of the show is the Minbari Triluminary.
It is one of three Valen (Sinclair) made himself after being transported into the past from Babylon 4 for the previous Shadow War, what Delenn uses for her 'transformation', its pivotal role in the 'surrender' of the Minbari in the Earth / Minbari war due to its activation by Sinclair's DNA, etc etc etc.
This is the best shot of the original prop that I think is available, from one of the B5 Cage Cards. It also looks visibly shook up from production use.
As you can see, a pretty rudimentary construction, as I suppose was meant to be the case since it was built in the past by a human living with the Minbari.
Some information on the net describes this prop as being a crystal with a computer chip in the middle.
This is incorrect, as it is in fact as seen above, and is seen only once housed in a transparent triangular carry 'case'.
This is clearly seen in these screencaps.
And in fact, in this next one, one can clearly see it 'leaning' loosely against the carry 'case'
In all other episodes where it is seen, it is clearly shown not to be a crystal
That being said :lol, and since I've never seen a replica of this :lol, off I went.
Raw materials raided from my junk box, odds and ends box ...... and kids' old and garaged toy box
RIP Pokemon ..... always hated the guy, and at least the cash spent on that crap for the kids is finally going to be put to some good, serious use by me :lol
I scaled a sceencap to get the correct sizes compared to the hand and fingers, cut the chip to the correct shape, and made sure the tube diameter was adequate.
Cleaned the tube (as usual, I hope the Mrs. isn't watching :lol) and cut 3 parts to size.
Twisted some soldering wire and inserted it into the openings.
Held the tubes in place and filled the spaces with glue. Also added the top bit to the chip.
Weathered the chip
And added another layer or two of chip slices and thingies to give it a good '3D' look
Drilled a hole in the center of the chip, wrapped the copper wire where due, and here is my Triluminary replica
And into the B5 'section' it goes.
Another simple, quick replica that was thoroughly fun to make out of what I had at hand

NICE! The Minbari Triluminary has been on my work-bench "back-burner" for a LONG time. I have all the parts ready, I just haven't gotten around to the actual building yet.
Great job, especially given the limited amount of available reference material. :thumbsup

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Babylon 5 (Small Project)
Thanks a bunch Tony ..... I was wondering where you were being a huge B5 fan :cool
That, my friend, will remain quite securely anchored in your imagination.
Not gonna happen :lol

Re: My Prop Replica Collection - New Arrival - Babylon 5 (Small Project)
I almost had a stroke when i saw what you did to that poor game lol. The ship turned out amazing, far better than anything i've gotten from shapeways. I love the B5 model, the only kit i ever saw officially was the starfury (i think that's the name) back in 1997. You'd think someone would be putting out models of these things officially since they're so popular.

:lol
I don't think our 23, 21 and 18 year-old will miss it :lol
Merci beaucoup monsieur Wes
The quality is superb, but unfortunately, you would only get this level with FUD
The B5 is in fact an old (1998 I think) Revell one. It is very strange indeed why there are / were no good selection / variety of B5 and Stargate kits available :wacko
:lol
