Nice add-on

Stickers look good; just wondering if he can print them 'unfuzzy' for the 'anal-retentive crowd'?

Interested in 3 sets of stickers- can you help?

I would love a set of the TA-1 field phone stickers. found this for those interested http://www.fairradio.com/catalog.php?mode=viewitem&item=3862

Scott sent me these decals as a gift because he knew the printing was a pretty low quality. He is remaking them on what he called an Edge printer ( not familiar with print speak) and said they should be right proper then. He did mention that it was a tad more cost for the edge printer but only a few bucks more. He will send me a fresh set next week and i will post the results.

I am constantly amazed by both the talent and camaraderie here! Great job on the phones (to the point where now I want one! :lol)!

Agreed - my feelings exactly, LA! :thumbsup

Thanks Oldzey The greeble was really the only thing i made , the rest wa paint and cutting out stickers. I will make some greebs this weekend if i get a chance, will keep you posted.

Moff Man, you've done a man's work, sir!

I will definitely be interested in all of the above (stickers, etc.) once things are perfected.

I appreciate you keeping us all updated on your progress and for taking the constructive criticism like a pro - your phone is an inspiration, man!

Cheers!

SCREEN USED..................................................REPLICA

This is an awesome comparison!

Thanks dude, that means alot to me, your the reason i started this thing anyway, i saw that pic you posted of the phone you bought and that got me going. It's been a real group effort with tips and research coming from everyone here. I am having a great time here at the RPF so far, everyone is very cool.

Great job! I just noticed the auction catalog pics had the buttons all obscured, interesting....

 

[belleauwood]

Yeah, that company is selling them to be used.

WAYY to much money. I bought 3, shipped to my door, for a lot less.

And they weight ~8lbs by themselves!

Notice that a lot of these, and the TA-1's, are dry on ebay since its "hot" right now.
Anyone else interested in TA-1's?

I picked one up a few years ago but I have not painted it yet. It's hard to paint it becuase it is brand spanking new, zero dirt inside and out its pristein.

 

[Lancer]

To my English RPF Brothers. How many of you would like one of these? PM me and let me see what I can do.

dr strangelove, if you're talking about making a TA954 fieldphone available, I would be interested. Even a shell without the guts would be fine seeing as its purely for display, as long as it had the knobs and buttons on the front.

There is a TA-1 lot on the bay . . . I'd like to get 3 of them . . . anyone want to go in?

Ryan

I have been watching that lot, has 4 days left and its over $130 already. I am going to make a resin cast of miy TA-1/PT this week if anyone is interested.

 

[Lancer]

oooh I'd be interested in a handset price depending. shipment would be to the uk mind.

Speaking of the guts, has anybody taken their phone apart yet? I wonder if any of the guts might happen to be the source for the handset greeblie.

I finished revamping the font as vectors and am 100% happy with it, but it took forever! :wacko

Here's what I did with it:

Here is a link to the Junkyard http://therpf.com/showthread.php?t=57033 if you are interested in a set.

Thanks,
Sean

Wait a tick,,,,, Look back a few pages at Bobatrek's posts and look at his siggy, is that the right font? I think so. :confused

 

[Jodo]

That is so awsome! The TCF'ers were just thinking of putting some of these together! PM Sent!

 

[bobatrek]

Thanks! I'm planning on making even more to Viper up one's car. :lol

How awsome would it be to have the callsign nameplate, the serial numbers, and all the other decals on a car? :lol

 

[moff man]

Thats looks frackin sweet Bob. I love it. To bad i drive a 2005 Ford Tie Fighter ( has SW and 501st decals and wouldn't want to mix my obsessions) But way to stick to it and get that font . I love this thread:love

I have gutted both phones and nothing like that inside of em.

I've been collecting as much reference material as I could for doing just that. You've done a great job!

I've been looking into how to make the vector into a usable font:
