This project has been slow going, but yes that's the plan :) I still need to work out some of the assembly stuff so that other people have a good time while printing and assembling (for example I might make the steel weight cutout built into the print)

It's been a while since the last progress update, but I am rounding the bend on overall fit and finish of the parts. I've done some basic sanding, then applied a layer of epoxy resin over top of everything, then sanded again. One thing I noticed when holding the radio is that it felt fake...

What a great replica prop to create. It's great!

I have received my gift! It's exactly the kind of lovely thing I am proud to add to my office. Thanks Dylan, I love it! :) Oh, and here is the ad from the TV in the show, showing the in-development Great Northern Hotel:

I have shipped my gift, huzzah!

Thanks! Hah, yes, classic show, one of my favourites :) Someday maybe I can tackle a 3D-ification of Coach McGuirk's car :D

Ahhh, yes, thanks for linking. This is great! :) I have learned a lot more about their interpretation of the game's radio! By the end of those shots it looks like a couple of the radios were pretty broken apart (some electical tape and holes and stuff). It looks like they used off the shelf...

This project has been on my list of things to make since the game came out. The other night I finally re-opened the model files and got to work splitting it up for 3D printing. Here is the primary reference I am using, from the game: (radio) (base station) Note that Henry has giant monster...

I would love to join up this year! I am in Canada, and can ship both domestically and internationally. Some of my interests are the worlds of Alien Half Life Blade Runner Twin Peaks Fallout Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak X-Files Zelda I've been recently obsessing over scale miniatures, and...

Wooow, this is a super cool build! Nice work!

Very cool builds! Nice work :) I am keen to see how you make out with the stamp/embossed tin tests

Oh and if anyone was wondering, these blasters were printed in 4 parts, 3 of them useful at this scale. The triggers are too tiny to be worth while, so I will finish those by hand as the last step (and just push/glue them into the toothpick holes at the bottom). The joinery is not as snug or...

Smallest of updates on this project. I've been tinkering with finishing methods, and did some experiments with epoxy resin as a post-processing solution. I know Smooth-On makes XTC-3D, but I've opted for the 2 part epoxy resin I already had, and it has worked well so far: These raw prints...

I continue to appreciate how verbose you are being in all these posts. Great detail and documentation all around (y)

Woah! Looking great so far! :)
