Starts to get out of control

 
I was very happy with my The Fly model I had cobbled together and decided I wanted the project to continue for a bit.  After spending many hours this summer digging up sprinklers from my yard I started to notice similarities between the sprinkler housing and the telepod from the remake of The Fly (1986) starring Jeff Goldblum.  I decided to create a diorama for my Fly figure and set about using the sprinkler housing for the foundation of my telepod.  Here you can see how I cut out the door area with a rotary tool and then cutting the sprinkler into sections to most easily ad ribs like from the movie design.  In the movie there are dozens of ribs, but I limited myself to just a few.  I was only trying to make a 1960's Fly and 1980's Fly hybrid telepod.
