Pat S Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Hey all, After this auction get out of hand, I decided to try and make my own stasis tube. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBBI%3AIT&rd=1 I already have a vinyl Facehugger After searching for hours on google, I didn't really turn up much info on what to use for the glass. I was thinking of converting a fish tank, but the closest I came was this one... http://www.customaquarium.com/tabletop.htm Also, the top. I'm not sure what to use here either. I could use aluminum and bend and cut, but that would be quite a bit of work, and I'd have to probably buy some new tools. I just e-mailed Frank Cerney to find out what he used. Check out his custom tubes here... http://www.hobbymatrix.com/props/aliens/stasis.html You guys/girls got any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goth Kitty 22 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 http://www.lightechindustries.com/main.html Scroll to the bottom. The display case is not waterproof however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat S Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Better size. Price is high ($350) for the whole thing, and like you said it's not waterproof. Maybe I can ask them for dimensions, and if they'll sell just the glass. I'll e-mail them, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 That would be cool if you could maybe spray paint a light dusting of a conductive paint over it, and then have a switch that throws some voltage out into the water causing the facehugger to jump whenever an unsuspecting friend came near it.

Eternal_D Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Acrylic Cylinders I was gonig to suggest the same thing. most if not all fish tanks now are being made with this(well at least in china) and they look damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat S Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks guys, I'll watch the scenes in the movie again, make some measurements, and then get a quote for one of those cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
