KEVIN'S SCRATCHBUILT BLAKE'S 7 IMIPAK

Hi,

Just completed a scratchbuild of the Imipak key from Blake's 7 second season episode 'Weapon'. 

Imipak is developed by a Federation scientist, who then steals it. It consists of two parts, a projector which marks a victim indelibly forever. 

If a marked person is within a million miles when the key is activated, they die. No time limit between being marked and being killed. 

A Weapon with massive political potential.

Not bad for a beta grade,

Kevin

  4. Thank you. Finding parts is always a challenge. Even if you know what they used, you can't always get it anymore. I trawl ebay and random places.

    1. So you try to use the same parts that were originally used?

  5. If at all possible as that makes it more accurate. However, you often can't. I'm currently working on a B7 prop that was originally made from part of a mainframe computer. If you could even find one now it would cost a fortune, so I'm making it from scratch with plywood, plasticard and aluminium!
