Set Material

[PTVNews 196]

Does anyone know what that plastic material is that the blue light shines though is called? Also, what about the "metal" strips that create the boxes?

 

Thanks.

[st]That would likely be frosted Arcrylic glass.[/st] And the metal is probably just aluminum or polished steel.

 

EDIT: Err, on closer inspection, that looks to be a plastic sheet.

Yeah, ok. But is there a certain name for it or anything? Or do you know where to buy it? Someplace like Lowe's?

 

Thanks!

I checked around Google and found this, but it's pretty thin. Maybe you could email someone like FX Group, KPTV (that's a local set, right?), or one of the set fabrication companies and ask them what it is exactly and where it can be acquired.

Yeah. I've tried searching Google. I guess I'll try and email. It is a local set.

You could probably achieve that look with a properly size sheet of Lexan and an opaque acrylic finish.

Thanks for the idea!

The website I linked to also sells Acrylic sheets with P95 coating, which FX Group uses in it's sets.

Check out what KHIZ did in SoCal. They built an entire set from stuff just from Ikea.

Thats pretty cool...

 

Ive always wondered how FX and others build those nice desks and such, looks complicated.
