Drewid[501st] Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 How much are you looking to do from scratch? Just the end caps or also the button plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajax407[TK] Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 No, it just struck me as funny. Kinda like if someone asks you if you know what time it is, and you just say yes and walk away. Now help the guy out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topgun[TK] Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Okay, Im gonna put the stop to the jabbering and help the poor guy out PARTS: FX Armor Thermal Detonator Caps and Control Panel Two 2 Threaded female to pipe fittings Two 2 Threaded male to pipe fittings 2 PVC pipe cut to exactly 2.5 Aluminum Tape Two keychain belt clasps Four rivets hot glue and gun --------- Glue the 2.5 section of 2 PVC in between the two male threaded fittings to join together. The threaded ends will face outwards. The 2 PVC makes a nice flush tube through the center. -------- Wrap the Aluminum Tape around the smooth end of each female threaded fitting. Glue the FX armor cap over the open aluminum end of each female threaded fitting. -------- I then used a dremal to sand the threads so the cap will come off easyer. ---------- Bend open and flatten one end of each belt clasp. Leave the other end in its bent shape to attach to your belt. Drill two holes approx 1.5 apart on the flat end and then bend it into a curve to fit around the canister. Attach the belt clips to the center portion of the canister by drilling the holes and securing with rivets. Attach the control pad to the center section with industrial strength velcro. ------ And there ya have it, a place to keep your keys or whatever ya want. Keep an eye out for my next project, "Im making a pair of binders."

ObiHahn[TK] Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Like I said in the other thread - lose the chrome foil and you're good to go! There never was any chrome or silver on the movie prop, there were only metal clips to hold the tube to the belt. BTW, using FX or other kit pieces isn't really "from scratch", is it? But yeah, it would be a pain to build it from scratch anyway with so many kit suppliers to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
