discussion 1/1 STAR TREK TWOK: CETI EEL CONTAINMENT PROP.

[eddiesolo]

I have been working on this for the past few weeks.

I wanted a 1/1 prop to house a Ceti-eel from the Star Trek movie The Wrath Of Khan, it will also go with my TWOK costume.

It started out as a make up box, the guts stripped out of it and re lined.

I scratch made parts, bought parts and raided the parts bin for anything that would work and look right.

It has working LEDs/switches, sample tubes with samples made from Tamiya clear and two part epoxy, the Ceti-eel is 1/1 and came from America, all primed and weathered.

It is 90% finished with just a couple of bits to do but I am calling this done.

Wow thats fantastic Si , great adaptation of everyday stuff . Loving the little touches like the starfleet logo on the case latch! All you need now is some forceps , a pair of long tweezers and an unwilling victim! cheers tony

This has had its scanner/probe made, it fits onto the sample box and then it fits into the data pad for uploading of data.

I also have some sound effects to install but just need to get around to finding somewhere to house them.
