Done / Completed Blade Runner 2049 "Voight Kampff" *ONE LEFT*
- Thread starter JOATRASH FX
- Start date
Hey guys,
It's been a rough few weeks personally as we lost one of our cats- the oldest fellow, my best bud of 16 years. Despite thousands in vet bills, and me feeding him liquid "recovery food", he didn't make it. (We did, however, just adopt a new kitty to take care of!)
So I haven't made a ton of progress on this, but I'm back on it regularly now.
After doing, re-doing and tinkering that slanted corner detail countless times, I think I FINALLY figured out, to an almost perfect degree, how it's configured and have included it in my model and am close to being done with the lower outer shell. I've also started drawing up the "popup mechanism". More soon!

Wasn't at least one of those posted in lower res on the Propsummit FB page? Very useful, thank you! (The biggest problem as a model maker living so far from all the nice exhibits in LA is not being able to get photos when things are on display.) Those shots even more emphasize those corner details... they're just.... odd. It's the kind of thing where, if you're not actively looking for them, your mind will fill them in as different because they don't look like they belong.

Quite possibly, but not by me. I can always go take more. Got a better phone now!
We're not really doing fully built copies, only kits with or without electronics. If you really want one built and finished, send me a PM and maybe it can be arranged, but count on it costing quite a lot.
Small update. It's been a few days of silence, but I've been working on this the last couple of days after getting a few displays in the mail. I am currently running the first test print to check internal fit and once that's done, I'll at least have something "solid" to show and will then start a proper build thread.
First post updated. There is now a BUILD THREAD!

We are testing with a sound board, so call it a tentative "yes" BUT it depends on how much space there is left in the chassis and total cost for everything. We might, as an alternative, use a piezo element. but they can only do "buzzing" sounds in various frequencies. (It's been a while since I listened to the effect, but as I recall it was a sinus curve waveform that ramps up in pitch, much like the sound from a camera flash.)
Just letting everyone know that this is still happening. The programmer has been very busy, so I'm keeping a low pace until he's able to get back to it.
Build thread has been updated with some info. Things are starting to move again!
Small update. Still working on the mechanism (borrowing an idea from an old Star Trek flip-up walkie talkie). I think I've found a source of suitable springs and bearings. Looks like we have a working solution for the power source and charging but in staying screen accurate, there is precious little space in there. At the moment I don't think we'll be able to get a sound board and speaker to fit. (I know I never promised it but it would have been nice, even though the sound in the film is not very prominent. Not giving up just yet, but we'll see. Maybe a piezo element will be enough, if we can get it in there. It has to be somewhat easy for y'all to build too and I know how much space things like resistors and wiring starts taking.

OK, got some small bearings in and am discussing how to best do animations and things with the programmer. These small LCD screens are agonizingly slow in updating, so we can't do anything too advanced or "fast-paced". I think I have a pop-up trigger figured out though. Will do a test print of it soon.
