A word on weight.
So the aluminium master parts weight in at a total of 8KG!
Way too heavy to be practical.
If there is no shrinkage (and specs state less than 0.003 of inch) the end cap will weight just 0.250KG
2 x 250g for the end caps = 500g or 0.5KG.
Even of the body and lids use a further 1000g, the total will only be about 1.5KG or about 1/5th the weight of the master parts.
The plastic I am using is D80, so very hard.
Light and strong is what I am hoping for here so that this replica prop is actually useable.

Really nice, are you going to use the same material than the one of the right? It looks to be more like a solid coated foam in the movie?

The movie prop was a one off and made with light weight materials. It was not intended for use. This replica of that prop will be fully functional and useable. Light weight, yet strong.
If you choose to just display it, fine. However, if you wanted to use it as a sports bag, then yes you will be able to. Being made from plastic means you can get it wet.
Clear parts are just for my prototyping, and production parts will be tinted solid black. Note the word "tint". This means that the colour will be right through the cross section of each part. You won't be able to scratch the paint off this one. I am also using a more expensive product with UV stability. On the cheaper version of this product, even tinted parts will turn yellow (much like the grey mid-soles of the V2 MAGs) and so these should be good for about 10 years. I used the cheaper stuff for some ankle buckles I made and noticed within 6 months that the white has become cream. Won't happen with this product.
it's just the diagonal lines onto the black material that bothers me a bit, it's fine if it's plastic, as long it's a solid and smooth material! x)

The lines of the recess steps? Only the machined surface will be visible on the finished product.

Emma are you referring to the finish on his old bag?

Yes ^^"
I always thought you had covered it in some kind of carbon fiber wrap.
My impression, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that the screen used bag had some sort of minor texture to it, like the underside of a wetsuit.
Jedifyfe - did you ever see it when it was on display at comic con in 2011?

From what I have seen on the limited images, it was a combination of fiberglass and cardboard and that was then painted black. I've seen images that clearly show the big lines of the cardboard tube used for the body and lids and other images that look like the rough texture of fibreglass chopped mat, so maybe they used the actual tube for the body and also make their lids from fiberglass from the OD of the body tube. These large card board tubes are used as form work for concrete pillars in expensive homes. My parents have these at their place and my father confirmed the form was a big cardboard tube.
Given the budget of this film, I'd say the angles on the screen used bag were taken off a large dog food bowl. I found a 12" bowl that has the same angles, but it was working out the mechanic inside that was going to be too hard to make workable. So in the end, I sort the advice of an industrial designer, hired him to re-draw my Sketch Up file version in to a proper CAD program and then create STL files for machining. This way, everything fits and works perfectly.
i never got to see it. I'll ask my friend if he has any define the scenes photos of it.
