The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

These keep popping up on social media
3'x6' home accent panel

Very, very close match to aliens/star wars. add a diffused lighting backdrop behind and you have an effective wall panel.

Ok, now for rigidity we have to use lattice end caps.

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Selectio ... 5014658861

This one will closely match the accent panel.

Now the end caps will be attached to a 2 inch wide by 1/8" plate steel for further rigidity.

As far as stability goes it looks like the two 3 sets will have to be on adjoining walls to form a corner. I will have to add a top cross brace to the end of each wall piece. I should be able to add braced on the bottom on the end and junction of each panel on the back at the base.

OK I made some progress. I found a plastic product that introduced sufficient illumination. For proper lighting it appears 11" of space is needed and 3 cob LED array elements will be needed.

Due to space needed, I will have to go with a single sided design. Back with luon panels painted white and perfect light box.

I will have to meter the power draw to make sure I build out things properly.
