Am working on the backpack of my 'PH Emps Child mini' and to show the corruption and changes they made to their bodies leading up to the heresy i want to make a combat drug injection system and incorporate it into his backpack.
i was originally going to make the injectors out of brass rod and paint the liquid on, but i remembed Matt Cexwish's fantastic 'Creator vs. Creation' scene and so to add to the realism id like to lend his clear hypodermic needle idea and use clear acrylic rods/tubes for the injectors and clear sheet plastic for the central mixing hatch. but would that be the best way to do it, or is their an easier way? is their anythin i need to know before workin with clear acrylic? does anyone know where i can get clear acrylic rods around 1mm-1.5 mm dia? am strugglin to find smaller than 3mm, am considering drilling out a rod but will that scratch the interior so much u wont be able to see through it?
Heres the backpack, am goin to take out the Gs that in the middle, deepen the hole, pour some coloured resin in, then put the plastic on top, seal it with pva then stand it up so it looks like its half full. the injectors will prob go underneath either side with a corkscrew mechanism or somethin, make it look like the chemicals are being mixed together to make the combat drug
