Lovely job by the way , I do like the vid phone Idea ,you don't need to drill into the case to install a microswitch use the hinges and add a magnetic contact switch closed when shut, open when you lift the lid , you could supply power in the same way via the hinges like the NG Tricorder in StarTrek and you could animate the displays with lights and a countdown timer display using electoluminescent sheet and low profile led displays . I just wish I could get a Zero case here in the UK , but I'm still hopeful and still bidding as they come up ! Btw in the photo's the mat looks the same as the lining material in the real replicant file ! all you need is the Franklyn binder.

Very nice! You took an small idea and made it something very special. Not sure why you kept the pay phone billing info though? I guess he could be renting his case from the VidPhon company

No, you woudn't need to drill the case to run power to the lid, mount the power supply in the case base run the power positive to one hinge negative to the other , pick up the power from the hinge in the lid - you might have to isolate the wires with shrink wrap tube to stop any shorts from happening though , this is exactly how power is supplied to the Tricorder screen and LED's the battery is in the base unit a magnetic microswitch opens the circuit when the lid is raised and turns it off when the lid is closed.

Haliburton does not list Blade Runner as a film it has a briefcase in. Found here on their website. Not sure if anyone has seen this yet so here it is.

Tom,
The case has an "Elite" badge on the front. That and the zero engraving are the only visable registration.

The only reason i can think of BR not being listed on the Halliburton list is that the company wasnt involved in the process or perhaps because the case in BR was
modified and therefore not an official Halliburton product.
I dont see Fringe mentioned there either and they have one in shot every week.

I used a bath mat that i got from a franchised hardware store, Bunnings.
Yes, i used plywood for the lid, 3mm in fact. The brand of paint i used is called "fiddly bits" aluminium spray paint, its not a special kind of paint, just general household stuff.
Under the matting is some thin silver foil paper to give a mirror finish underneath. The second "lid" only has the foil and matting. For the pictures, i cut some document protectors to shape and placed them over the pics. Leave around 10mm around the borders so you can glue.
The top half of the case has a layer of 2mm cardboard underneath the fiol and matting to protect the case.
Heres a pic to show what i mean with the layering.
Used a slow bonding spay glue on all the matting,cardboard and foil.

I'm not sure how I missed this but I have to say it has me knocked out!!

Well done mate and even more so because you have taken this just that little bit further. Aside from a terrific collection you have there, this beauty has given you something uniquely special that's undeniably Blade Runner.

Congratulations and many thanks for sharing ..

Kind regards

MARK
