Luke's ration kit from ESB (Yoda puppet accessory)

[Peacefrog35]

These things are $55 bucks on ebay. Ouch..more than twice what they sell for at the park.
Nice build here, though.

Any chance of a run? I can see how removing the molded dividers would be a pain but making the tray vav formed is the part I can't do. The dividers would be doable but the tray is the key?

Thanks for the info.

Nah I don't have any more of that material handy and for all the trouble to get more wouldn't be worth the time/money. Would be way more work than reward.

Yes but that does not concern me. I need and want it, and I want you to do the work for me.


I totally understand. You did an awesome job on this.


On another subject that is related:

Even if we determine the food or find substitutes how would it be displayed? All the rest of the food sure looks like it will expire.

Cover it in clear resin? Make resin copies of the stuff

My Food tray is looking lonely with white and orange tic tacs and nothing else.

BTW never try using this as a real snack tray on a camping trip. I thought it would be fun. On the second day my pringles tasted like my beef jerky and trust me,...they DO NOT go together.

lol Yeah sometime I'd like to go back and make replicas of the rest of the food. Probably make it out of sculpey etc..
Just so many other yoda things I'm trying to finish first.

Oh heck no. You can't be throwing teasers like that out with no explanation. Your Yoda is the best one I have ever seen.

Spill it!!! What ya working on?

There's a bunch of progress pics on my SW FB page (see link in my signature) and I also posted stuff on the RPF FB page.
I just haven't posted here yet. Wanted to wait until it was finished.
It's a full replica of the ESB puppet made from all original assets, including a replica of the original animetronic mechanism used in the films.

Found these yesterday.
Looks like he had yellow ration boxes as well.

The T-shape looks like foil tape, perhaps the same as used on the lightsaber.

I realize this is a long shot, but I'm trying to either track down a Resistance MRE box or find something similar that I could customize into Luke's Dagobah ration kit. I don't suppose anybody has the MRE box available for sale or trade?

EDIT: Forget it! I'll make my OWN MRE case! With Blackjack! And hookers!

Jokes aside, I whipped this up in TinkerCAD last night. I think I did a pretty good job, all things considered. I'd love to get these printed and sell them but the cost to print alone would be between $55 and $60. Is there a market for these at those prices?
