You might find this very cool, I finally put all together. My dad handed me his iPhone7.

Wow. I can’t believe how great this turned out. I had stopped receiving notifications and just assumed everyone lost interest. I’m glad I came back on to check!
As far as screen accurate leather, like I said in the beginning I have access to bolts and bolts of different leathers. See a few pages back. Those are some of the samples and there’s plenty more to choose from.

I do like the texture from both sides, but brown should be lighter. How thick are those?

They are thick and rigid like yours. It’s a rugged leather for belts and boots not for our fine leather items. It won’t “droop” when you hold a pice by the corner for instance.
Looking at the final prop. I think the 1st pic above I took is closest. Yes, I agree it needs to be lighter, but that lightness we’re seeing is mostly distress. I may have to take some sandpaper and scuff it up a bit.

For example. This is the same piece of leather. One cut straight from the bolt and then I basically stamped on it and ground it into the warehouse floor like a cigarette butt. You can see not only is it lighter, but the shine is gone as well.

you really went above and beyond on every aspect of this project, man. I can’t believe it actually came to fruition. I figured no one would care as much as I did about Andor in general, much less something like this.
Andor has truly resparked my love of SW. I was
pretty much disenchanted with the franchise to the point that I not only stopped collecting, but didn’t even watch the OT anymore. SW was just dead to me. Then a friend suggested I watch Andor and the flood gates just opened.
I have every Black Series and TVC either in multiples or on preorder, all 3 OSTs, poster, pistol, Lego, another handful of custom items and now this is on the way. Actually, seeing this thread has inspired me to start on my Bryar. I was up at 4am sanding it in my living room lol.
Anyway, thanks again for taking this project on and for all your dedication to it. Can’t wait to receive my kit and I promise full display pics as soon as I can.

Looking forward to see it!
Any idea what you are using for the phone?

I did use an iphone 7, but you can use any 4.7 inches phone like iphone 6 or SE. Also there is a Samsung Galaxy Feel one
Hey, are you going to be documenting your build so we can follow along?

Oh, You bet I will. I was waiting until most of the kits arrived. I will prepare a visual assembly guide like I did for Tech's datapad.

First post here, and first attempt at a Star Wars prop build, having just acquired a 3D printer. Had to make some slight modifications, and had a go at a bit of paint weathering (with varying degrees of success...). Not perfect (or anywhere close to therebelagent's fully functioning replica) but I'm happy enough with it to display. Big thanks & happy to have supported your work via the cults3d download - great fun to build!

Very well done. If that's your first job with the 3d printer...kudos. Mine was horrible. Just a little recommendation. Get a glass bed or a mirror one and print the display inverted over the glass. You will get a glass effect over your screen.

Thanks for the advice. Still experimenting with settings and materials to get the best results...!

Currently disgusted with my Bryar lol, it was time to finally break this out. Nothing much to post atm, just a quick tip to anyone also attempting. I found that putting all the pieces in place and sanding them on the actual tablet was much easier than attempting to do them individually. Also, safer as you don’t risk the chance of the thinner pieces breaking.
This is gonna be a fun build (unlike the Bryar). I’m sanding EVERYTHING to eliminate the printer lines as well as take the shine off for better paint adherence, however, I won’t be priming and repainting the smaller pieces already molded in the correct color plastics. Simply roughing them up with sandpaper then weathering.

That's was the idea of printing then in the right final color. They are so small to sand anyway. Good to hear from you

And I am VERY thankful of that! This is the first I’m seeing the kit in hand. With the holiday, a new job and other projects I didn’t even bother opening it until now. I’m gonna prime the grey and maybe the black and give them my usual level of sanding detail ie A LOT lol then put it all together and weather it as one piece. I’ll cut my leather over the weak and hopefully have this done by next weekend. I will NOT be using oil paints! Haha
Now that I’m seeing it, I have to commend you again for the brilliance of your design. I can guaranteed if anyone else had made this it would have been like 10 pieces. They would have done a front, back, side, buttons and maybe the speaker screen, but no where NEAR the level of detail you put in. The buttons even have some play to them and tactile feeling of being depressed even. It really is an amazing job.
