BTTF2 hoverboard plans and graphics

[mrshow555]

Does anyone have the vector graphics I'd seen mentioned on this forum for the Mattel hoverboard for BTTF2? They all seem to be old broken links. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also if you have any really good tutorials that are online, I'd appreciate the links! PM me or post below.

Thanks!

I got these from an old, now missing thread here on the RPF.

Yeah, I got the PM too. Glad someone had it on file. I didn't have it anymore.

 

[mrshow555]

anyone got measurements and specs of the board size, magnet diameter etc... the thread on JackDoud's page to the RPF forum was removed. Any technical specs would be greatly appreciated!!

I sent you a PM

 

[Trekkie313]

Would like a PM too.

I'd love measurements on this as well. I really need to get off the pot on this one.

although I think the green stripe is more neon looking in the film, but make the board your own and go with what makes you happy

Hope these help!

hi

I am a 1st time prop maker what would you use to make a hoverboard for the resin/ disc parts ?

 

[Droidboy]

Unheard...I did my magnets out of plastic. When I get home I'll post pics of them. I am still working on the clamps.

I'd like youse guys input on this idea.

So for the stripes, I have this crazy notion that IF this were a REAL thing, it would be built like a skateboard. The basics of skateboards hasn't changed since I was riding in the mid eighties. A deck, decals and grip tape.

My thought is to do the stripes out of grip tape. I know that isn't what was used in the movie, but it just seems to make sense.

Any thoughts?

cant wait for the photo's
do you have a guide on how you did the magnets please.

Do you guys think that using an actual skate-board as a starting point would be a good idea, or is there a better way to go?

In case anyone is interested I started and interest thread in the junkyard for the lenticular film that is applied on the top and bottom of the board.

A skateboard wouldn't work, its the wrong size. That being said....I'm going to make a skateboard version for me too !

Here is what I have. Most of the pieces are from an old GA kit. I really want to build one from scratch.

The magnet and clasp are CNC'd out of plastic, and the top of the magnet has a brush aluminum top, which to me looks much cooler than painted silver.

I can probably have those parts made if anyone wants some.

I was going to do the clamp as vac form pieces, which I still want to do, but I need better measurements for the clamps.

Anyhow.....pics

Laser cut some pieces today so I can vacuform some of the parts.

A W E S O M E !!!!!

Would you consider selling a kit?

 

[AZspidey]

There will be a kit for sale, and make sure to get on the list for the holographic tape for the hoverboard in the junkyard right now. I need at least 20 people for that.
