Button in or out? Ian, This is what I did. I just didn't center it very well.(****) But with it painted white it looks good. I think others have done similar.

trooperexpert Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 It is not a lid, but a vacuum pitcher lid. It should not be flat. TE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD 8733 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 TE is right this is a vac seal tupperware lid. It comes apart so you can run your screw to the base and then just snap your cover back on. That way you see no screw but can get to it any time you need it. Also don't paint it white! It comes clear, paint the base black this will give the clear top a milky grey color. This is the screen accurate way to do it. Look at all the photos from a new hope. If you compare the white of the end caps to the dish it is clearly not white. Also the base is painted black in the film as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD 8733 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 You don't suck. Lol. You are making your on stuff and that's very cool. That's the great thing about the forum, we can all share ideas. Just look at the parts on Mike's pack there fantastic. I am building a screen accurate pack right now and I am getting most of my ideas from other guys here.
