I bet there are several tupperware lids that could be sandwitched together to make a great Padd with no Vaccuforming pain-assery involved.<br />Clear plastic too.<br /><br />hmmm...check the prop builders forums: there is a perfect Cardassian doorbell/lock prop that shows up in Ebay in resin now and then- I'm sure <i>someone</i> had made a Padd. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
