This is something I've wanted to do, but alas have not yet had the time.

Took this one from here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=51978&highlight=replicator+block
Quick 'N Dirty detail drawing to give you the idea of the size/scale Russ
As far as the # of blocks to build the small bug, I'd say in the 150-200 range... but I got bored after casting around 20 of these things and never made it to enough to build a bug

I think we need Replicator screen shots first.
most were CG, but I think the ep where Thor takes Carter to his homeworld he has a replicator in a containment. I would guess that was a physical prop.
and thats the one I would replicate.

I have a hero replicator block that I've just been too busy to do anything with. I plan to mould up and cast one to send to a machinist to see if it can be replicated in metal. I hope to have this done soon. I know this weekend is out though because of a death in the family and funeral stuff. Hopefully by Xmas or shortly thereafter I will have some breathing time.

Hi Sycor,
Sorry to hear about your loss..
Do you know if your block was made to be part of a replicator, or just a block that was found on the floor after the fire fights ?
Cklinejr, im guessing all replacators were CG as im sure that one got free and ate the ship... lol .. are these blocks you find for sale lfrom the prop store of london and other places just blocks used for dress setting on the floor ?

Mine is the one in my avatar image. They obviously had different version but mine was used in a scene when they were looking at a single block. It's is dual sided instead of just flat on one side. There is also this version offered by QMX
But if you are wanting to build something like this you will likely need a special block or at least special connector blocks as well as some hero looking blocks for the outside skin.

QMx replicator blocks were rapid prototyped. I think i remember Steve saying it was from the later season cg files. I've only seen two types of blocks sold as screen used. 'hero' blocks like my drawing someone posted above with the slightly curved font/back, and just bulk background blocks which are basically the same except they have a rectangular body (front and back have no curve)
I have the 3d cad file, not sure what format it needs to be for the rapid prototype places. I gave it to someone last year but I don't think he ever did anything with it.

Most shops will want .stl
www.shapeways.com is a great place to get them rapid prototyped, you can upload the file and get an instant quote in several different materials...
I've been keeping an eye on the few kits out there but cant commit the time to actually assembling it. Here is one that did not sell on ebay:

I really like the idea of building a metal version but the price will be prohibitive.

Yeah, that'd be ridiculously expensive for machining. Here's what I did with my WARP model, the same one up for sale on eBay

The kit has some single block groups, and then it has multiple block groups. To assemble it you have to drill holes through some sections and then put a post through them and glue them together. It honestly wasn't all that hard to assemble. There are a few large multiblock sections like for the 'wings' on it. I used some spare pieces to add a little more strength to some sections and build up a bit more of a structure. The legs themselves are a bit weak since you're talking only one or two blocks thick at many sections.

I have the same one that Kerr pictured. I found that thing a headache to put together, but got it from someone who had lost the packaging and instructions, so had to work the whole thing out from piles of identical blocks and sections of the same blocks!
I gave a up a few times, but it became like my white-whale :lol
