If Brundelfly=Frank C, then yes. I'm interested.

What kind of price range are we talking about here? $50, $100, $150? I absolutly want to build a Jedi remote, but I've had some big expenses lately so price is a major factor in my interest. If I can swing the co$t I am in.
 
I hadn't seen this thread in a while.
Seems to be enough interest....

If I did these...the parts would all be individual.

Also the Middle band of rectangles.....would be styrene, measure provided...but you can buy your own plastic.

Also, the Domes, the info on where and what to order would be provided.
You order them.


The kit would be the rims and tank parts, one complete set to finish a remote.


Thats what Im thinking about.

Just from someone who has scratch built one of these before (incredible tutorial by the way, BF.), is there a way you could include a template for those semi-circular rings that go around the rims? That is the one thing that really slowed down my build. Having to cut them out and then hand shape each one because of the curvature was a real nightmare.

Since I'm not involved in this run (building one was more than enough), that's the one thing I would have loved to have had, but I'm sure people doing this build would appreciate it (if making a template is even possible).

I forgot about that...yikes.
Yeah....or better yet. A pattern and maybe a vacu formed dome to cut out?

I've got Domes, I've had them for about 10 years. Got them for another project. 6" plastruct domes, ready to go. I'm in for just the 'detailed parts(those rectangles can be cut out of styrene).

I think a simple pattern would suffice. The problem is that they are not simple rings that are being cut out. Because of the geometry of the dome, the rings aren't true circles. I can't even describe what the heck the final shape is :confused .

Just sayin', is all... :thumbsup
