![]() ![]() Further at 1:55:09 the extendable side pieces are shown, my scaled build for the large stone has this at 2.25 inches tall and 0.6 inches wideĪt 1:53:32 it is shown the Fire has five sine oscillations on the long side which rise from below first going left then right in one full wave and 4 on the short sides which go right then left in one full wave, this is seen at 1:53:32 and again at 1:54:53 Backtracking, at 1:52:40 you will see wind and water together. from 1:55:14 the short sides show up then down sine propagation. Wind has 6 sine oscillations in the sky at the long side which start from the left going downward then rising upward once before terminating on the right. Ignoring the inaccuracies and obvious prop changes from 1:52:40 through 1:53:15 the following appears to hold true. All lines appear to terminate about 3/4 of an inch from the shortest side on the two short sides. The short sides terminate early and the shortest side is left bare. )Īll identifier lines appear to begin and terminate at the center or base line of one full sine wave oscillation. The identifier lines take up a little less than half of the stone side height, about the width of an average mans hand ( not that B.W. appears to be of average man build so I used myself as a model and came up with the ratios in the following steps from 1:52:39 onwards. In the beginning sequences,9:20ish, Mondoshawans have thick hands so the opening sequences albeit educational do not provide dimensional reference, but B.W. #Fifth element movieI don't fully trust the internet so I chose to watch the movie again on VHS and paused or took screenshots when necessary of the stones as they appeared. according to appropriate stone details as described below and shown in the pictures. Each form is detailed with craft foam and hot glue. This is then opened and placed flat painted side up. The inner forms are completely covered with packing tape to prevent moisture transfer.Įach outer form is taped together leaving the narrowest ends open. This is fastened to a smooth base using hot glue. This is made from paper stock and is rigid yet flexible enough to be easily removed. The long side form is 1.95 inches the two short sides are 1.8 inches for the 8.5 inch tall and 3.16 and 2.89 on the 11 inch profile The inner form is a triangle which runs through the entirety of the stone. I will use time stamps from my video copy to help you along if you want to see the stones from the film. The inner form is for the shade and electrics. These will need to dry for 24 hours before assembly. You will also need 4 more sections that are 1 3/4 inches on the wide side of the 8.5 profile and 4 at 1.8 of the 11 inch profile.Īll these sections need to be primed and painted on the short side of the 3.5 X 8.5 and profile and 5 X 11 inch profiles and all of the long side of the profile for the remainder. This process is then repeated another 8 times with a width of 2 7/8 on the wide side of the 8.5 profile and another 8 for the large size 11 inch at 4.62. One end of an 8 1/2 inch section and the 11 inch section of MDF is cut with a bevel then the board is flipped over and another cut is made which creates the short side of the MDF to be 3 1/2 inches for the 8.5 and 5 for the 11. I cut an outline template from 1/2 inch MDF which is then used to set the table saw cutting angle. Several sections of MDF were cut at 8 1/2 inches wide and 11 inches wide You will need a form to pour the Hydrocal into. use a loose fit when making sliding or moving sections. These are stones hand built with substandard tools so exact tolerances will not work. If you have trouble finding decimal to fraction on your ruler, try using a digital micrometer gauge for proper sizing. This was just the way I learned construction. ![]() I switch frequently between decimal and fraction. Scaling up the height is 11 inches, the long side is 5 inches, the short sides are 3.9 inches and the shortest side is 3/4 of an inch. This leaves two ends which are left open and called the narrowest sides.Įach small stone height is 8.5 inches, the long side is 3.5 inches, the short sides are 2 3/4 inches and the shortest side is a half an inch. After all they are stones so why not make them from "stone"Įach stone is a trapezoidal prism and by definition has 6 external sides, I call them the long side, the two short sides and the shortest side. I have included drawings of the stones but these were uses for reference only and all work was performed using basic hand tools, a table saw and locally available materials. ![]()
