Death Star Detention Cell Camera

[Pauleysolo]

Just completed this.

Many thanks to fellow RPF Member eethan for assist on the parts to complete this.

Spent many weeks sourcing the Patterson Trident slide viewers.

Yes- it does have a little wireless cctv camera inside one of the middle viewers. It keeps an eye on my collection room as well as any prisoner transfers from cell block 1138.

Oh wow - in 45 years, I never knew they were that large!

Awesome PauleySolo, thank you so much for sharing your build!
yes PHArchivist, they are surprisingly big, a lot of people are surprised with that when they get them in hand
(for full transparency, the back plate is not made by me here. only the antenas and lights )

I just may need to do this project

The clear insert shots of the blaster bolts hitting these cameras stands out in my mind. There was a toy in the late 70's that had very brief video clips from the film, and that shot was in there.

Its a pretty straightforward project that goes quickly- as long as you have all the pieces!

Much quicker than your amazing Death Star model !

I need a Death Star security camera to keep an eye on the Death Star!

When are your new back plates going to be available?

Take your time, you can’t rush perfection or art. And I’m curious about the reflector lights.

 

[PHArchivist]

Me too!

I managed to find only 9 of them in 5 years. that is a crazy stunt you pulled there!

Yep, Marv has raided the stock on Ebay

Holy moly I’d love to have just 6.

 

[PHArchivist]

Oh wow...

And looks like these are roughly $100.00 a pop...
