My Hoverboard Replica

[Soxbrother]

Hello,

A few years ago I made a replica of the BTTF2 hoverboard.

I searched the internet for info about the right measurements
and also some guessing was involved.
Could be that I did find some info on this forum,
but I can't remember.


I tried to make it as screen accurate as possible,
I know some things aren't in the right color,
but I did my best with the materials I could find.

The board is made out of wood..

The magnet discs need some black paint on the side,
I forgot that :confused
And some sort of strip on the side of the board I'm not sure.


Let me know what you guys think.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Greetings,
Soxbrother

I know this is a bit off topic, but where did you get that heroes print. I want that and your hoverboard:lol

Here's the link to the "Used Materials" Gallery on Flickr :

Here are the two prints I used to make the hoverboard.

The first print (left picture) I found a few years ago

and then I recreated the print with screenshots from the movie (right picture)
to make it as accurate as possible.

These are leftovers from the materials I used :

I printed it out on normal paper A4 in about 4 pieces I think,
then I cut it out the materials.

I want that and your hoverboard:lol

I'm sorry but I'm keeping it cool

Nice work.

Nice job!

 

[Soxbrother]

Thanks for the nice comments.

The board needs some updating.

A better lenticular honeycomb pattern,
that's more screenaccurate would be nice,
if I can find it.

First thing I'll update is the magnet discs,
the sides need to be painted black.

Great board. I really need to try my hand at one of those. :rolleyes

Where did you get the rotating display hooks? Is that something you made yourself?

Thanks,

That's dang near perfect!

No I didn't make it myself.

It's actually a wallpaper roller

I removed the handle and then made screw thread on it for the "wing-nut"

You can see clearly on this picture.

It was a bit tricky to mount it on the wall because
the tail of the hoverboard is in a different angle.

Pretty good. I like the improvisation.

The hanging mechanism was really ingenious... If I had a wood board, my Pitbull is foam, I would totally set something up like that.
