I saw there is a full size nebulizer and communicator from Pegasus. Has anyone made these and added electronics?

I was thinking of trying to do myself. I have NEVER done modeling since I was a kid, but thought this project might be somewhat easy for a newbie. What do u think? Are the electronics really hard to install?

Thx for any help!

It took him some time and effort, but he pulled it off.

Don't get them. I hear they are a sham, the only one i would consider of the two kits is the Nebulizer, but that's way over priced. I got everything i need at radio shack and it was only a few dollars, i haven't put it together yet... I just don't have that much time free yet.

oh? I thought voodoo made great kits?

Yea, From what i hear they are great!; But they were charging $50 + $10 Shipping for 3 blinking lights, that weren't close to being movie accurate, and you have to still assemble the pieces yourself... well take a look your self---> http://www.therpf.com/f9/galaxy-quest-vox-pictorial-voodoofx-lighting-kit-87811/

ah ok, now i understand...thx

yeah the voodoo seemed way over priced. I just did mine with 2 leds. I upgraded another with the electronics from the ST09 phaser toy but I haven't done a vid yet.

Pretty sweet, I may have to pull my pre-built one apart and add some lights!

Looking forward to your new lights/sound stuff. I have a carton of the Pegasus kits. maybe I'll do a few based upon your kit.

Re: Galaxy Quest kit

I recently got the Galaxy Quest Vox Communicator and Ion Nebulizer kit from Pegasus Hobbies. Have always made scale replicas and want to try my hand at 1:1 for a change. This looks easy.

I dont see you producing high quality lighting kits that are affordable,and it's a little more tha just three Leds.......

I said they were nice, But they are not worth the price at all, epically if you have to put it together yourself. For less than $50 you buy a lightening disk and make the vox 99% movie accurate, and have left over money to put the Nebulizer together with lights, and you could also grab lunch from McDonald's and a cup of coffee form Starbucks.

And your right I don't Produce "High Quality lighting kits that are affordable" because if i did, it would be $10 for 3 blinking leds.

You believe it's a good kit for the money, I personally don't think so. You have your opinion. I have mine.

Opinions are fine,but when you diss someone's livelyhood on hear say that another matter.

I wasn't Disrespecting his work or livelyhood, I was just re-stating what other people have said, and then said that based on the description and what the product looks like, I wouldn't buy the product, and i wouldn't recommend him buying it also.

He can spend $50, but i'm just letting him know what he is spending his $50 on.

Randy's kit is awesome. And his work is custom made in the USA and not made from mass produced parts. If he asks more I'm glad to support him and his work in the good 'ole USA.

It's fine to custom make a version from off the shelf parts if you want, but please respect others on this board that work hard to develop kits for us. No one will develop kits for us if they are constantly being dissed by armchair critics.

Pre-made electronic kits are great for people who want to add lights to their kits who either don't have the skill or the time to design and build something themselves. The kit for the Vox is a bit more than just three blinking LEDs. It has a random blinking pattern that you wont get with wiring thrree LEDs together.

I stopped buying pre-made kits as I decided to learn to do it myself, and yes, for less money. That doesn't make pre-made kits any less important to our hobby. I just chose to invest the time needed to learn, just like the guys at Voodoo did. He just chose to start selling them, which is great for a lot of people.

 

[Taggart]

I apologize for not giving Randy, and the others at VooDooFX the Respect that they deserve. It was a kit that they have put alot of effort into, and it's not my place to say some of the things i've said. I'm sorry.
