The large 6ft high Tripod under construction. The model's legs were moved by 3 members of the SFX crew moving them out of shot below the camera! (Very high tech!)
This section, over 6 feet across, was built specially to incorporate opening miniature hatches for shots where people were seen being taken inside the Tripod to be "capped"
Original master "Head" of the medium sized Tripod
It was built of Fibreglass over a master shape which I carved from Polyurethane foam.
The legs were 5 inch diameter EMA plastic tube which I had to slice longways to make tapered. and fully movable 6 inch "ball & socket" joints. The model incorporated opening front hatch, working lights all around the edge, and fully movable legs
Friday Street set.
