Amazing work! I really appreciate the effort.

Very nice and your links answers another question for me. What does the sign actually say when translated.

Wow! I just discovered this thread, and just in time! I'm going to Disneyland tomorrow (actually gonna be leaving in 7 hours or so... :p ), and I am an absolutely huge Star Tours fan, and would love to help out on this project. I can take the best camera we have (my dad has a nice DSLR, but I forget if it's working right now) and I can get whatever pics you guys want (even though it looks like you guys have that down). Also, if you want, I know a guy who works at Disneyland at the Finding Nemo ride, but I know he was cross training in Star Tours for a while. I could ask him if he could get some pics of Rex with a ruler next to him, seeing as we don't have any of those yet. Just let me know if that'd help, and I can see if he'd be willing to oblige! Looking forward to seeing what this thread produces. :)

Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm thankful for your offer! Any help from CMs would be excellent also.

Pictures are always good. We need most:
Top down or bottom up orthographic views (difficult)
Pictures with dimensions like a ruler would be fantastic. Make sure the ruler is on a specific plane or is measuring a specific part.

If you take pictures, zoom as far in as possible to minimize lens distortion.

Thanks again, any help is good at this point!!
 
Okay, cool! Question- what exactly is an orthographic view? haha, sorry, I don't quite understand what that means. Is it like a straight on shot?

Yeah. Technically it would be straight on with no perspective but that's a little hard to do in the real world. Top, bottom, left profile, right profile, back, front would all be orthographic.

Basically I want to be able to bring it into CAD and model it out or into illustrator and make blueprints.
 
Alrighty, cool. I will try my best. It may require some bending over of some rails, though! :p Hopefully the line will be slow, and I can get some time in front of him.
 
And Here you go!

Wow, I didn't expect you to actually take the time to do the translating. Thanks yet again! Too bad handheld 3D laser scanners for discrete reverse engineering are so expensive.

Honestly I was about halfway through translating when you asked me about it :)

Yeah I want to take my phone back and do 123D catch on it and see if I can get usable data.
 
Progress on that sticker. This is a fun one. Nice small diversion project form the main build but still related.Stickerteaser2.JPG
 
Hey! So, it turns out both my real cameras were out of action for today, and I only had my iPhone, and the line was (of course) super fast where Rex was, so I couldn't get any decent pics, although I did try. But none are worth uploading. :( BUT, I will still ask my CM friend about getting in there with a ruler.

No stress! Thanks for the effort. I know it's tough to get in there. Yeah let us know about the ruler thing. That would be valuable!!!
 
Does any one know what the Boyd is a shoutout for?because it sounds like a in joke between the creators
