Red Dwarf - Mimosian Anti-matter chopsticks

I wanted to do another Red Dwarf prop while in isolation and learning how to use Blender better/ texture/ compose whatever, chose the anti-matter chopsticks from Legion.

These don't seem to have been sold by Propstore or anything, so I couldn't really find any high res reference so I used various screen grabs and added bits of detail here and there.

I wanted to make a background too, for Kryten's Bazookoid pistol, I made a rough copy of the scanner table from Starbug, there wasn't anything that instantly recognisable in Legion though so I had a go at making the set. well, the half of it you see.

Again, no reference, so just by eye etc, I was contemplating doing a camera solve thing in Blender to line everything up, but I don't know how haha

A tour of the set recreation I made.

1 inch tape based TV shows aren't great for pulling reference from but I got pretty close. I went with cherubs for the art on the wall, because I just saw gold blobs and hadn't a clue.

Music is from the episode.

Just the one chopstick, the other is probably off being fixed by Andy Bowman or Mike Tucker or someone.

A bit of a detail shot

A fly around, I'm not great with camera controls in Blender. All the videos were done in Eevee because I haven't got the computational power or time to use Cycles
