Andy, What you suggested worked, meaning rotate a line (To obtain the curve), make that a poly (The gray frame), rotate another line, make that a line object (The black grid lines), copy that grid image make that a poly for color background, purple (Under the black grid), it took a little alignment but the process was fast enough.

(Note to get the equally spaced vertical lines when I created the line for the black grid to rotate, I made it in segments, meaning seven line snapped end to end then rotated, quick and easy.)

Off course the colors used in the image are for show only. Haven't figure out how to adjust the light intensity yet. (Too bright for this object)
