Thank you for tuning in and commenting!

I made the canister's window today. Using a heat gun to bend the Lexan.

Forming the arc in window by pressing heated piece on the Aluminum rod. It's HOT!

The Prawn canister can't remain Silver. I prepped the aluminum surface with medium grit sandpaper, applied Black SEM self etching primer, then headed over to Brad's so he could apply the Pewter base color coat. Brad did all of the Prawn canister graphics by applying vinyl film and cutting the designs free hand with an Exacto, he used the movie still for reference. Look Ma, No vinyl film plotter or software!

While at the shop last night I cut some 1/8" thick mirrored acrylic sheets to encase the 5.25 bay around the canister location.

I used the Scotch 4010 Heavy Duty Tape to adhere onto the mirrored acrylic
