Quantum Leap Flashing "Bracelet"

[Jeddie]

I would really like to make this bracelet worn by members of Project Quantum Leap. I keep trying to get captures and this is the best I could get:

[attachmentid=9313]

It looks like an extension of the handlink (See my replica here: My Replica Handlink) and flashes like it too. I'd really like to replicate this and was wondering if anyone could:

A) get any better captures
or
B.) Help on how to fit about five LEDs in such a small space
or
C) help in any other way

I can kind of see this:

[attachmentid=9315]

but it looks a bit "Bitty"

Thanks for you help.

Update:

I have made my replica.

there was a member here who had the screen used wrist-link. i was going to buy it but couldnt get the money. maybe they'll pop up with pics for you.

:eek REALLY? WOW. can you remember who it was and if it ended up being sold? :eek
Is that actually what they called it - Wrist-link?.

That's pretty damn cool.

That and the gummy link would make for a really cool display.

I think I've identified the strap as a swatch watch strap:

[attachmentid=9348]

And made a preliminary plan of the top:

[attachmentid=9349]

Making Progress. But has anyone seen a swatch watch that is like the base of this? If it's the strap of one it could be the Base.

i dont remember the member who had it, it did sell, but those are the pics i remember seeing of it....
i doubt there was a "base" it just looks like it was cut from plexi.

The clear Swatch was the inspiration for the QL Wristlink. They used the wristbands but the rest was scratchbuilt.

 

[Jeddie]

Ohh right Thanks guys. How do you know this SurferGeek? do you have any more info on it?

Thanks veryy much.

[SurferGeek]

A few years ago I read a posting online from the prop guy that actually made the piece. The image I posted came from elsewhere. He used the bands but the rest was fabricated from scratch. Unlike the handlink, the wristlink had no controls, it just lit up. I don't remember much else but thought it a coincidence as at the time I still had one of those clear Swatchs.

 

[Jeddie]

WOW. Thats cool. Thanks for the info SurferGeek. :thumbsup

I have completed my Replica Wristlink. It really flashes and is made from acetate and a few lego plates. Here are some pictures :

Pretty good. You may want to look at hitting the colored blocks with a little bit of frosted clear coat. It looks like the original one was a little frosted.

 

[Jeddie]

Ohh, I agree it does look frosted but I wasn't sure how to do it. Thanks for the tip.

 

[Apollo]

Nice work as usual Jeddie.

 

[Jeddie]

Thanks very much Apollo :$

 

[SurferGeek]

Very nice work. Do you have a video of the flashing? I see that you either decided not to use blue or couldn't find any blue plastic/plexi?

 

[Jeddie]

Thanks SurferGeek.
I May get a video later
And OOPS. I completely forgot about the blue. I have got some blue plastic so I might finish it off.
