Had an idea for a build to display my final piece. Hope i would be allowed to go ahead with it.

Starting from the top:

Wooden board, would print out the shape needed and stick it to the wood. Then i would cut around the shape to provide the shape needed.
I would cut to holes to fit a small lamp in each to provide some light.
The text could just be letters cut out and stuck on, or even drawn on and then carved out.
The outline of the Nautilus could be done the same way by being carved out. Or even cut out of another piece of wood and bolted on top to give it a more rustic look with the bolts.
The tubes up the side would be plastic tubes with water inside. At the top i would put a small air pump into each and seal it shut. This would make the water bubble.
The wooden box at the base would raise it from the floor preventing the need for longer tubes.
The top box just under the TV would contain the PS3. There would be slits in the sides, back and top to provide cooling to the PS3.
A small hole would be in front of the PS3 box to provide a USB cable to connect the PS3 controller. The controller would allow the PS3 to be turned on and off.
The TV would be wall mounted so i imagine this would likely need to be attached to a board that is put up as opposed to the wall.
This would be completely self funded except i would hope to use the college PS3 and the TV that the PS3 currently uses.
Thoughts and comments? Just had the idea this morning and thought i would love to build it and think it would provide a nice look to my part of the show.
