This started life as a W.I.P for my strange behaviour project and grew from there. I needed to make some old 1940's style vacum valves for my scene. Vacum valves were used in nearly all early radio and electronic equipment and are making a come back as of late in high end audio amplifiers. This is mainly a study in reflection and refraction of glass.
