Did you work on the show?That resin TA handset looks awesome - makes me nostalgic - I used to pretend like I was talking into those things all the time on the show
BSG - If you can't buy it, make it!

Papadama over at ASAP found the other light, me thinks this one is the match for the new one on the auction block. :

This is my little project for the night:
I have literally thousands of pieces of scrap paper from my grail diaries, so I decided to put them to some use. I've already made some BSG-style notepads like were sold in the auction, but I thought I'd make this too. This one is just a blank version with nothing on the inside sheets. The cover was very easy to make, but I decided to have some more fun with it. So, I've been editing a real Blackbird manual and adding some Galactica-verse references and images in it to make a more "BSG realistic" manual. Should be a cool little item when it's finished...

Cool here is some screen shots of the blueprints he was using to build it you should have something that in there.

Another really cool item, look forward to more pics, and hopefully a junkyard post!

There were a bunch of cool inserts sticking out of the 'hero' manual that sold first in the main auction (various charts and different colored paper).

:thumbsup That's a pretty good idea about having multiple authors of it; like once they finished their work, they wrote up how to use certain components and such. I'm thinking since I've already done some work on the typed version (editing the actual Blackbird manual), I'm going to just make both versions.
Yup, I found some images of the hero too and I'm trying to track down/alter similar star charts and items. Having different inserts in the manual makes it look pretty cool too, so I definitely have to add those.
Does anyone think this would be double-sided or would the content be just written on one side of each page?

I'd go double sided. paper must be in short supply, just like everything else in the fleet and this was scraped up with whatever the chief could lay hands on.
another idea. you could have an occasional page where the other side is actually neat printed script. ie for certain common components, he filched the pages out of a viper manual.

There could be parts ripped or copied from other manuals for the different components they used.
Ex. engine diagrams of the rebuilt engines with the Chief's notes on part upgrades etc.
I think primarily one sided pages, but the left side used for taped/glued in parts and random small notes.
