Got the final light tube roughed out for the main tunnel (whew!). Added another little cheap trick to cut the oblong holes... used my grinder to cut a hunk off a cheap metal tool hanger shelf and used to rough out the oblongs.
The tunnel shots are with all tunnel and backlights turned on -- NO other lights on in the room. Lights the whole tunnel up nicely. I held a cheap piece of blue cellophone in front of the camera lense and really like the "eerie blue" effect, like they did in shots in the movie.

Just need to sand and clean up the rest of the oblongs, paint all of the light tubes and run final wiring, finish the tunnel grid structure and static tubes, and on to the top of the port.
