Behind the Lantern glass...


If you're a fan of the orange space suits you've all seen that the lantern has a milky glass and a light blue light inside. But most who'v seen the show may not have notices there's something behind it.




 See the mesh pattern?


I got a fine mesh aluminium sheet with stamped grill mesh holes from a local hobby supplier, then I modeled it to see how it would look. The pattern is actually oriented the other way, 90 degrees turned sideways in the screenshots above so I'll change that in the model.

In front of this I'm using a white screened plastic sheet you get with the Procap Helmet outer welding visor. I'm guessing Milennium got that part with the helmets and used it.

I'll get some photos of it when I can but here's the model at least and it shows the idea of how the mesh is used.
