NIKE MAG Knockoffs

I edited the post, somehow I forgot Taff83 also even though hes got some of my parts! oops! I just dont know him much by just his rpf screen name and was trying to get my point across ASAP.

Id say that was a good deal for the hover board! Especially if it has the holographic inserts! *JEALOUS!!!!!!*

Sorry to go off topic, but I figured most if not all of us back to the future nuts are following this thread....does anyone happen to know the quality and accuracy of this particular hover board? I was thinking of picking one up

I actually purchased one last month. It was pretty decent. A few of the decals and Velcro began to peel off, but I fixed it with a dab of super glue. I can post pics of mine if you would like them!
 
Is it a good idea if you want to make a grey fabric a little lighter to soak it in some water with a really low bleach concentration? Because I found a fabric that is a pretty good match. It's nice and flexible, but it's a tad too dark.
 
CAVX, awesome work on that stitch job! The quality of the material in the way you describe it makes it sound perfect for the shoes!

Thanks, yes that mesh seems to be working out well.

Do you happen to know who owns the bag now? Wonder if he'd be up for taking a bunch of photos for us. Would be nice to make a fairly accurate one.

No there was no mention of the new owner. Yes it would be awesome to see the actual screen used prop and take some high res images. I got a few goods ones though and was able to work out from them why there is a grove on the ends. Now that I know why, I'll be able to include this on mine.
 
Something that's been a question for me about that bag is what was the purpose for the knob that Doc turns to make the plastic more transparent? Was it a lock of some kind?

Yeah, that'd be great if you can! I did a quick google image search, and I already see a few inaccuracies that I'm not that fond of, but I already bought it, so can't go back now!! That's what I get for making a prop purchase without doing the research first :unsure

I think it is supposed to be however I could not see any knob on the bag from the images of the screen used one. There are yellow dots (LEDs?) in the recessed handles, but nothing else. So like the sound effect, I would say it was just done by the actor as part of the effect. The bag does have feet though. 4 small round rubber knobs at the bottom to stop is rolling.

Yeah here you will see a few messed up decals which were like that when I got it. I'm too scared to peel and reapply hah. The Holographic material is fantastic though!

Again it's not the best out there, but it's pretty damn decent. If you want more pics let me know and I'd be more than happy to take more!

Yikes...stickers look terrible in image 6. They were like that when it arrived?? I will NOT be happy if mine looks like that
 
HOW RUDE!
Lets see... Youre either talking about ME, Cavx, Taff83, Jedifyfe,TheNickFox or clone props. (all of which have provided so much helpful information, reference and even templates.
Each and every one of us have worked/ are working VERY hard on our shoes and to have someone say something like that especially considering youre new here is not polite at all. If you dont like someones work simply move along. None of us here go out of our way to visit threads to insult other peoples hard work and devotion. The RPF is NOT your average forum, were more of a big dysfunctional *happy* family more than anything and remarks like that are NOT welcomed here. Shame on you.

I do want to apologize if I offended you or anyone else. That post was made in spite, trying to puff my big boy chest on the internet in response to what was said to me. I am not knocking anyone else's work and I think it is great that so many people have made the effort and provided such information in collaboration to help one another.

I may be new here, but I am not new to fabrication of any sort nor am I trolling. That is not how a "new" member should be treated, with the presumption that they are not knowledgeable and should "gtfo" pretty much. Or am I mistaken? 1,000 posts doesn't mean you have more knowledge than someone with 10 posts so one should not treat another as such.
 
Yeah. It wasnt as bad though. It was a slight wrinkle but I think the heat from my room made it lose it's stick ><

My main "accuracy" concern is that the lenticular material on the sidewalls of his newer versions is much too wide.....in the screen version, it's very narrow...

Nice! Awesome looking jacket in the back ground there too :)
 
I emailed him to see if he can do it differently on mine. Supposedly he makes these to order, so it shouldn't be a problem. Unless the strip is pre-cut. We'll see how he responds though.

It almost looks like they forgot to taper the edges. I like the concept though.

Yeah, the taper is not the same at all. I kinda jumped head first into the purchase....:lol

We'll see how it looks when it arrives. I may have to resell it and try to acquire a matty collector or hoverboard.org.uk version if there are any floating around
 
I'm making some calls about buying those mineral water bottles wholesale as one bottle costs $7. Hoping to get some better deal on a case or two.
