As for the MK-1 Series fuel gauge (hero), we made two of them. Even the pros thought it was real! It's a great feeling when you provide high-quality components, and discerning viewers can suspend their disbelief." Scroggins has provided a wide selection of studio- friendly assets. Most recently, they supplied a real CH-47 Chinook for Deadpool 2, the first time a Chinook was applied to a motion-base for filming. In addition to the Chinook, they have a real UH-60 Black Hawk mock-up. You will also see their UH-1H Huey in the rhino chase sequence from Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. Their EC135 and Astar too have served in various capacities on both television series and features, including Captain America: Civil War. Hulu's The First required a futuristic version of the Orion space capsule on a 1:1 scale. The entire metal structure was completely fabricated and built with wild panels around the circumference of the capsule. Engineering was a top concern for this build due to its motion-base work, so the capsule could shoot in both vertical and horizontal attitudes. Hatches and doors were researched and installed for accuracy, as well as the seats and instrument panel. The overall structure was composed of steel, aluminum and several cast components, all laser cut or made with their in-house CNC machine.
