Mando tracker. Might have found it.

[Cameron]

So the word from the prop master on set is that the tracker was cast from a found part, hollowed and duped up. The original part was purchased at a well known LA haunt for found objects by union prop folks. Gonna head up there with a buddy and nose about. Love that place anyway so it will be a fun outing.

Seems like Kylash was right about the Hot Toys figure. Grabbed a few screenshots from episode one. There is a few scenes where the tracker is in his belt and you can see the back but it is pretty tiny in the shot, maybe like 50 pixels across max. But it definitely looks like the figure's version.

The only reference ive found for the back is from the Hot Toys Mandalorian figure, however it ma actually be a concept front, hard to tell.

I think I am seeing at least 3 slightly different versions but it could be my eyes. Lol

Yeah there seems to be different ones throughout the show. Like the one he crushes at the end of episode 4 has some extra metal bits on top of the things on the side which isn't present in the other ones.

It was 3D Modeled after a real brush with some design liberties added, 3D printed with room for electronics.

It was casted. No 3d modeling.

You guys talking about the surplus place that begins with the letter L? I've got some amazing junk parts for custom lightsabers and blasters there.

Darn you people. Why are you being so cagey about the name?

 

[nexnox]

The surplus places are most likely Luky's hardware or Apex

Didn't we go?

 

[xl97]

How would he know if the name isnt shared? LOL

 

[AnubisGuard]

Didn't we go?

I don't think so? I know you had a bunch of parts in your parts bin that you got from one of those places, but you told me about it the last time we hung out. We didn't go there.

Apex is the prop surplus store in the San Fernando vally. And its also where the part was fount that the tracker was based on.

This is 100% not the prop, it’s funny how you see prop shapes in everyday objects.

I love Luky's but never been to Apex. GOING RIGHT NOW.

 

[SethS]

Okay, that was nuts. I'm mostly looking for cool parts for custom lightsabers and blasters. Luky's worked out well for me in the past, as they are sp organized. apex was like going to a scrap yard. At Luky's I could easily see what was available, but Apex... I kinda imagine going there is how the production design team for ANH felt when faced with mountains of military and aeronautics scrap. Definitely more of an adventure to go to, and I did fins some cool parts.

Going there made me want to build a spaceship cockpit, they have endless old instrument panels from a myriad of industries, plane parts, etc. They know they are a gold mine, all the best stuff is rentable as props.

Apex is overwhelming for sure but belive it or not they know pretty much everything they have in there.

glad you enjoyed it, been a few years since I've been and I live so close.

Yea, Apex is the best. I spent 4 hours there.
