Jedi Knight is special to me. Everyone loved the game, but it is because of this game that I am where I am today. It shifted the direction of my life because I learned 3D modeling for this game to make add-on levels. I created several multiplayer maps in the mid 90s, and eventually went on to focus on digital fabrication using the skills I first learned for these. I've been on a kick lately, making the other data storage devices from Star Wars, including the aluminum/gold plated Death Star Plans Data Card, the metal Map to Luke Skywalker device from TFA, and I've made holocrons in the past. I really want to do this prop justice, and make a holodisc where the wheel is real metal, and the housing is cold-cast bronze or something similar.
As a placeholder, I've made this quick prototype just to have something to work from. This is not what the final piece will look like. This is just painted plastic. The real one will have a stainless steel disc, and a much nicer bronze cold-cast housing, better details too, and the disc will spin. I also intend for this replica to actually function, and when you place it near a phone, it'll load the scene from Jedi Knight where Morgan Katarn tells kyle about Master Qu Rahn's light saber and the Valley of the Jedi. Again, here's the prototype non-accurate non-production stand-in prop:
Again, the above images are the prototype, and not what it will look like during production. You can follow along the build progress over at this thread.
Price will depend on number of y'all who are interested, but I'm expecting in the $150 ballpark if we get a some of interest, or $200 if it's only 5 or so people. This will be a limited run because I need to outsource the metal fabrication, and I need to know the number of those to make ahead of time.
I can of course make a cheaper kit version like the laser-cut one seen above, but that's not the point of this project, and I'd much prefer to make more of the nicer ones instead of cheap plastic ones, but do understand that many folks aren't able to shell out a lot of cash and still might want this piece for around $50
A neat thing about this project... I reached out to Jason Court, the actor who played Kyle Katarn in the cut-scenes, and asked if he'd like one. He's thrilled about it and will add it to his collection, so funding this run will get our Kyle a holodisc of his own!
