Luke ANH Macrobinocluars build. But with a twist ;)

[Anakin Starkiller]

Hey guys,

I'm building a set of Luke's ANH Macros. It's obviously not finished yet. But, can anyone spot what makes this build a little different

 

[trooper]

ya, no knobs, side boxes, triangle, belt clip.
but has an open transition box and the lens plate is upside down :lol


and you used soligor lens'

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Nope. Keep trying

 

[trooper]

ahh... the view hood

Nope. Keep trying

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Keep going

 

[trooper]

wait a minute, that's not a servomatic !

Good eye. :lol I doctored up an Electromatic, a Kalimar reflex, and some Soligor lenses to see if I could get them to look the part

 

[trooper]

darn nice work sir !!!
those soligor lens are a great close match. what colors did you use on those?

if you ever want to do another one, I have molds for the face plate and all the parts so you wont have to go through all that work but then you would not have the satisfaction of what you crafted either



great job !!

Thanks.
For the Electromatic, I 3d printed a door that would replace the roll top, I then painted that with some textured paint to try and get the right look. I also printed an ad on part to make the face plate look a little closer. Then I sand blasted the face plate smooth and repainted the whole thing to get the colors to match.

For the Lenses, I just used the rustoleum primer that was in the cupboard at the shop. But, before I painted them, I sand blasted off the black coating, so that after painting them I could weather away the paint and show some aluminum.

I kinda wanted to see how close I could get on a budget build without spending money on the correct parts
