Real Hovering Jedi Training Remote: FINISHED!

Hey guys. I have a new project run to go along with my Limited Edition floating training remote run, which will be soon wrapping up.
I'm proud to announce the Floating Jedi Training Remote Builder's Kit that I've been working on for the past several months behind the scenes while working through the Limited Edition. It includes everything you need to make a super accurate hovering training remote.

Quick update. I found out the hard way not to ever use a 2-way radio around my floating remote. I was working on my aviation communications headset, testing the radio and when I pushed the talk button, my remote dropped from the magnet and crashed HARD! I basically had to do a complete cosmetic rebuild on it to salvage it. The radio frequency must've completely disabled something in the magnet circuits.
Anyway, after rebuilding it, I decided that since mine doesn't light up like the ones I sold, I would do what the original prop maker did and use 3M reflective tape on the inside of the tank hatches and truck rims.
I thought these photos with the flash on turned out pretty cool. Here's a few comparisons with screen shots.

The crash is unfortunate:(
But I really like the 3M reflective tape effect!

I would actually pick 3M over LEDs for prop accuracy when I get to building a Jedi Remote

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that in person. It's only an effect of being filmed with the flash on.
My limited edition and kits used lights in order to recreate that effect that could be viewed in person.
 
Quick update that I'll be doing a few "Rey's Red Remote" versions from Rise of Skywalker if anyone wants one.
