Screen Correct Hoverboard Project

Silence from coolpropdude (except for a lot of "Like this post" clicks)? Was he shocked by my post?

Guess so...

Well... You are one of the sticklers for accuracy on the RPF. Be it a font, a prop, a paper, etc...
People know when you make a measurement, it is pretty spot on
How can he argue with you? :lol

Because I'm not perfect and make a lot of mistakes. You're too kind to me, Rich.

Looks like he has sold 18 Hoverboards on Ebay since July 27th. Since no feedback has been posted for any sine July 27th, I am guessing the earlier buyers have not recieved these items yet - but I could be wrong though.

Have any of those boards shipped out yet, coolpropdude?

I got mine and it's really nice VERY well built and the best board I ever owned to be honest.Yes the magnets are a bit too big but no replica board I ever owned had screen accurate dimensions

Good to hear. My only concern at this point is that he continues to use the same "screen accurate" claim (when it's off enough to not really be worthy of that claim) and "created using measurements from Bob Gale's board" (when he really means HIS somewhat erroneous measurements derived from a slightly distorted-perspective PICTURE of a real board) in his ongoing Ebay ad. In all good conscience if i were him, I would back off a little in the wording of the ad.

It's still a great looking board, but it has a few alterations needed before it deserves a "screen accurate" label on this board OR on Ebay.

My $.02.

Yeah, and the claim that the lenticular is the exact same used in the movie and it is unavailable anywhere. No - you can still buy clear honeycombs and that's not what they used in the movie.

Working on my bottom parts from scratch. Messed up the battery and will redo it... but so far I think it is coming along.

Hi there, thanks for the add. Not sure if this is allowed or not, but I would like it if like minded people would like to join my new group! Its all about making movie accurate Hover Boards and other props from Back to The Future. It would be a pleasure to have you there. Thanks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BTTFHoverboards/

I'm sure nobody would mind if you advertise your group. But spamming any Hoverboard thread with the same post is certainly not allowed.

I'm not spamming, just posted I the ones I'm following. There are so many, which is why I created the group. No single point of information, and difficult to find an answer. So many hoverboard threads, I just want as many people to visit the group. The more t the merrier!
