I saw Davinci Code again the other night. The cryptex has always fascinated me. I know you can buy a pretty decent authorized replica, but I researched online and found some fairly nice tutorials for building one out of common plumbing fittings. I know it's not real screen accurate, but I tried to capture the spirit of the original prop. I may weather and detail this one later to better simulate the real prop. But for now, I'm happy with the results.
It's a fun, super cheap weekend build. And a great prop to build with a kid!
