I've been busy with work lately but have been making bits of progress and interesting discoveries.
I've found that like the ESPER the Voight Kampf is featured on screen in two different configurations. The one used by the actors has a smaller BW main screen and a few other general front details that more closely match the original Syd Mead sketch.
and another image of the Actor model with the smaller screen and different detailing-
On an unrelated note, I've also found that the commonly found Deckard ID replica is fairly far from what we see On screen. Most of the fan replicas use the Rep Detect eagle beneath the POLICE heading at the top of the ID. This detail is stolen from Phil's replica which was derived from a mystery Japanes replica.
Here you can see after Deckard blasts Zhora and presents his ID that the ID simply uses the classic 995 beneath the POLICE title.
It's hard to believe that no one has caught this yet (other than Phil, who now has acces to the original.) I also tend to feel that the purple commonly used is either too light or that the background to the ID may even be black.
Also watch when Deckard is dialing Rachel's phone number from the Snake Pit's Vid-Phon the ID almost slides out of the wallet. Pretty cool.
More info coming soon.

Wow! I'm impressed. This guy works fast! In less than one week of my last post he's made a new updated version of his ID.

It looks ot be the work of this fellow-

what about that wall paneling inthe background. someone should make just one of those squares, mass produce vaccumm formed sets. I'll bet SOMEONE out there would like to decorate a room like that. Man I need a vac. form table.
Looks like having an over abundance of vid-phones is important in the Bladerunner trade.
I have now found at least 5 of these vid-phones in Deckard's apartment.
-one by the window
-one on top of the 'sideview ESPER'
-one next to the bed when Deckad passes out
-one next to the piano
-one can be seen on the wall in the bathroom.
Also I found two more of these phones in Bryant office. One behind Gaff's shoulder and one in the video briefing sequence.
This doesn't include the ones in Holden's scene as discussed earlier in the thread.
Guess they are giving these things away in 2019.
Also note that they come in black or grey to suit what ever your decor may be.
I think that most of this item was a found part. There are just too many of these found throughout the movie not to be. Anybody recognise this thing or better yet have one sitting in their garage?

And for Harry here is a comparison using the new ID replica for comparison. The 995 matches up perfectly to me.

Except, if you look REAL close - it's a red "X" - not a "V" imposed over everything but the photo...
I agree.
In fact that was the one element I was gonna keep to myself and use on my personal ID but since you were sharp enough to notice you get the gold star (or the red X as the case may be).
Nick
Edit- Here is a quick mock-up of what Jedipunk and I are talking about.

And for the hell of it here is my only other pieces of reference for the Deckard ID.

Nick indeed has a very sharp eye.
For those who want the wallet set, and exact copies of the screen-used wallet components, there's always my Deckard wallet project:

Sorry, I couldn't help but put in a plug...

Thanks fellas.
I know you guys can't throw in any 'official' info. Don't worry about it for a second. Besides it's fun to figure it out purely by means of "movie archaeology".
I'll be able to pick up one of your wallet sets once my big three picture movie deal hits, until then I'll just plug away on my own stuff for now. Much rather build it than buy it anyhow.
As far as the ID goes, I think not much else can be pulled from these photos and have pretty much hit a research wall. The rest will have to be conjecture.
The ESPER R&D goes slowly. I'm swamped with comic work right now so only bits and pieces of the blueprinting is getting done at any time. I've decided to first blueprint the Voigt Kampf since it is the base of the Hero ESPER. Once that work is done I'll jump to the blueprinting of the ESPER.
Then comes building.
Slowly but surely this baby will get done.
Phil- How's the JW bottle project coming along?
Also Phil when Deckard is dialing Rachel's number in the bar he is looking at a black piece of paper/cardboard with white lettering on it. Was this paper found in the wallet that you are replicating?

Here's were the bottle project is--
1. I've found a vendor on whose paper the labels will be output.
2. I have a custom bottle manufacturer picked out for the bottle.
3. A preliminary label (based on a real JW label) has already been created and tested.
A lot more work is still needed, as this is going to be a huge project (e.g. bottle creation in a 3D program, possible SLA output for prototype glass molding, packaging for shipping, etc.) I imagine that we'll sell hundreds (if not thousands) of these bottles worldwide.
