“Redux” Chip Vial (Replica)

Appearance: The X-Files episode “Redux” (5X02), which premiered on the Fox network on November 2, 1997.

Known as: Redux Chip Vial, Implant Vial, Replacement Vial

Project completed: November 2015

Item information: Mulder finds a new chip / replacement chip for Scully stored in this vial. This prop replica was also made for Brian Terranova. I made a drawing and created a 3D file, in this case the simplest design for a prop replica that I’ve ever done. Brian had found a machinist and graphic artist in the US and Canada who manufactured it based on my files. The vial was machined by "Dark Energy Creations", whereas the letters on the vial were made by graphic designer Justin Monk. The letters were applied onto the vial by Brian himself. He was very pleased with the results.
