Hey boys and girls,
today, while following the "Nike McFly"-thread here and seeing pictures of the shoes together with the hoverboard, i thought "such a hoverboard is a really cool prop", but i always think it's a sad thing when props just hang on the wall, and the only thing you can do is watch them. so i thought "hey, why not making a prop that you can LISTEN to?" :lol
so i came up with the idea of replacing the "hoverplates" by computerspeakers, and scaling the hoverboard down, with the speaker's diameter as a reference-point.
the plan is actually to make two boards, the lower side with the speakers set in, and the upper side as a cover, to hide the cables, boards and stuff like that.
it wont be screen-accurate (as it is smaller obviously, and thicker due to the speaker's height), but i'd like to make it as close to the original as possible, and therefore, i need your help:
a board (no matter if hover or skate) is basically just a plain piece of wood, with a snapped off end (no idea how it's called, i hope you know what i mean).
i've found the dimensons of the hoverboard, designs, and and and...but in which angle does this end snap off? couldnt find anything about it.
*EDIT: found the information, thanks anyway EDIT END*
here some quick pictures of my cardboard-mock up, with reference pictures (don't laugh at my drawings, i just made them quickly with my edding to help you to orientate :lol). the control-unit of the speakers should be hidden within that snapped off end piece, which doesnt exist yet in the mock up (therefore the drawings )
