Really terrific! You make it look so easy.
Child's play for him. Now, if he 'really' wants to fabricate something hot, he should build one of these...

No problem. I'll do it on Monday :thumbsup ( too tired at the moment to hold a ruler up :lol)
That's a great build.
When do you start the run for more hand made copies
120 hours at a measly $20 an hour makes $2400, excluding materials.
I don't think it'll sell :lol
Coming from you, that is the most gratifying honour this replica could possibly be bestowed with
In negotiations with the government at the moment to purchase one our smaller islands for that purpose :sleep
:lol
That is so awesome!!! You've got skills, man!

Thanks Kevin
Actually, come to think of it, there is a much easier way to give you all the exact measurements (which is the method I used), than by using a ruler :lol
One of these Arks was sold by Christie's in 2006.
The description said :
" A vacuformed plastic and resin decorative box with painted metallic copper accents and plastic simulated stone inserts, replica of the Bajoran orb arc prop from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine -- 18 x 15½ x 15½in. "
So take this perfectly face front pic.
Enlarge it using the height only as a reference point. Then trace the resulting image out on a clear sheet of plastic, right off your PC screen.
Voila, all the measurements come automatically with this one side, which is of course identical to the other 3 :thumbsup

Mr Alan Castillo, you did it again!!! Fantastic work!!
It has been a "while" (you have us spoiled) since you haven´t post anything in your "My Prop Replica Collection", but the waiting worth it!!
P.S.: I don´t know if "you have us spoiled" is the right expression. I wanted to say "mal acostumbrados"!! XP

Muchas gracias Rodolfo
. I haven't posted anything because I had no time to take pics of other stuff I got due to this build :lol. They are small things, so I'll soon update that thread in one go shortly.
Absolutely phenomenal build Alan.
Your build photos left me mind-blown when I saw all the intricate detailing you carved out of those panels.
Fantastic!
:cheers:cheers
Cheers Andrew. You will get to see it in person in a few months. (I haven't forgotten :lol)
