I'm stating out with a 7" cardboard tube to get my size straight. I'm thinking PVC pipe, especially a 7" pipe will be too heavy for this prop, & expensive to get, in my lack of funds. I'm thinking, foam sheet & cardboard for this prop. Now back to the cardboard prototype.
I'm using my bowls to make out the first mark, then add on to that with guesst-amating the size of the prop. Cardboard poster board for the tube for a start. my second should have a foam inside, this ones hollow.
I'm making a couple cardboard bowls so I can make two virus containers & compare sizes with screenshots. Kind 'a looks like a bad mitten birdie.
Cardboard bottoms for the masking taped bowl birdie to stick to the tube. This gave me an idea to cut a hole & just slide on the metal ones when I get to it.
I know what your thinking, the camera cut off my feet. Their just hiding under my vest. Comparison shots to compare with the screenshots. I haven't got the fins made yet. It may change the look of these pic's later. The actual prop looks bigger in person & looks smaller on camera.
