Baby Yoda Travel Container - DONE

[Cameron]

Since I only have 6 projects going what’s a 7th going to do?

That misbehaving baby Yoda is getting his very own time out / seat so the Mando can keep him under control (ish).

Oh yea, make it 8 cause I need to build da baby as well.

What an incredible find on that container!

Thank you Chris. They are called Mermite Food Containers. They were used to store food by the Army. They can be had on the bay for $100 ish and up.

Just stumbled on mine for less than $40 (and thats AUS $!!). I look forward to what you do with the lights. I just cannot get a decent photo of it. Might be a freak shot of it in the new art book hopefully.

Wow. Great deal. Please post a pic of your container. I am working out the size of the add on light box now. I picked up 4 lights that should work well. I will post a pic and a link.

I also think they cut the inside lip out because it is not visible between the child and the outer edge. I also think they may have added that inside lip to the outside because the outer lip is thicker than on my container unless there are different versions of it. The inside edge is smaller but perhaps it only runs around the front and sides of the outside lip. Not sure about all that right now.

I’ve been focusing on some other items but working on the container in between. Based on new photos from the Disney making of program I see that the inner part of the cooler was removed. The removal process sucked. Bad. But it’s done and now to clean out all the foam

.

Also, the kid is getting impatient for his clothing and container to be finished.

Case is clean inside and now to weather and strip according to the screenshots.

Starting to rough in the control box. I’m starting with a small project box and some cheap led housings cut down.

Peek a yoda

 

[Cameron]

Working out the front control box. I’ve decided that the buttons are probably old keyboard keys painted so I have some on the way. Some simple electronics. Not exact but close enough for the moment. Last pic is screen used.

 

[Cameron]

I was not happy at all with the control box. Remake in process. Also, I’m now sure that keyboard buttons were used.

 

[Cameron]

Final iteration. Think I’m on it.

 

[Cameron]

I’m happy with the front controller and the new edge trim Next up is to line the inside to protect the little fellas arms and legs

Very nice. Is the Yoda model your own work?

 

[Cameron]

Thanks KB. It’s Smurf’s head and hands kit and a free 3d body file. All finished by me.

Nice work. I ate a fair amount of meals out of a mermite back in the day.
