itsalive: Where'e that reference picture from? I'm looking for some closeups of BG or Rinzler armor, specifically the hands.... Thanks!
btw, Awesome progress.

I was hoping to find 8 people to prepay for this run at 40 dollars a pop.
I don't think that is going to happen.
I don't have the correct 2g smart card tray on hand, but the dimensions weren't to difficult to sort out. I ordered the correct 2g tray, and it's on the way. As soon as it gets here I will double check the fit to make sure the inner hole on both sides remain aligned, and then I'll give the guy who's going to make theses the AOK to create nickle plated metal chips with a black enamel fill.
There is a chip on both sides of that film used 2g smart card. That's what I will be offering. A double chip version.
So I guess in say 4-5 weeks these should be done.

I love the double-sided graphic you've put together, but wouldn't the additional metal piece on the back make it impossible to insert into the logic board again?
If you consider using your graphic to create a set of decals like in the film, I'd be interested in a set of those decals for sure. (Perhaps a clear decal with the black circuit lines on them, to preserve the already silver chip.)

The chip tolerance thickness has already been addressed. The small necklace chips thickness will be akin to the thickness of a regular sim card on the slot side of the sim tray. The film version placed the big chip on the opposite side of this tray.
How to explain this.
OK the little chip wont extend it's thickness beyond the sim slots walls. So in theory it should work. I've already sent the art files and I could pull the trigger right now, but I want to double check the fit in the proper 2g tray first.

itsalive, that circuitry looks pretty good. Looking forward to see more of your work.
Nick, decal is a good idea, but if made with clear decal, you can't cover the tiny simcard-shaped hole on the tray.

I'm still of the opinion that that hole was cut to be circular.

Thanks Kevin.
Nick you can see that the chip was psychical in the Nokia 1080p door crack video that was posted online. It covers up the entire tray, leaving a small amount of the sim trays outer edge borders uncovered. Keeping the sim trays outer edges uncovered is probably how it works without any issues. One more reason for a final spot check with the correct sim card tray.

Looks like I have to set aside more money for Kevin...:lol

Anyone seen that Flynn kid? I think he lost his phone...
I'm not sure what it does, but if you stare at the spinning numbers and letters long enough, its almost like you can make out some sort of pattern...
Looks great man, good job! I just got my body kit in so I can take the salvageable pieces from my dummy and cobble together a whole phone that's hollow and should support electronics. Just have to go by some LED's this weekend...I can't wait to get mine done, I hope it turns out as slick as yours!
let us know with pics how it goes, I still have to put mine together. How you like the body kit?

Man, the body kit was a life saver, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm going to have to do a bit of trial and error since this will be my first time working with LED's but I don't think it will be that hard to wire up now that I have a hollow body to work with.
I'm trying to find a switch that I can connect to one of the buttons on the phone so that you can actually, ideally, just press the power button on the phone to turn the LED's on. The body kit gives me the room to do that, just have to figure out how.

I've started a for sale thread for these..
It's semi-transparent, so if you look at it under the light it appear solid, when you hold it against the light you will see through other details.

I have the smart card now, and I found something out about the film used chip.
Nicktea you are going to love this.
The only 3d part of the film chip is the inner circle area. They slapped a decal/sticker over it on both sides of the smartcard.
I have an image that shows the back decal misaligned on the chip. You can also see the split line where the decal went over the front of the chip. The tiny inner rings lines didn't wear off on the front of the chip as I suspected. The decal overlaps them on the bottom part.
So you were right Nicktea. There just isn't enough space on the card to put two real chips on it.
With all this new info I decided to make a finessed digital 3d copy of the smart card and chips, so the circuit details can be recessed on both sides. The model is very rough right now but I think it will work.
I guess folks could offer decals and a middle ring set up but it wouldn't last long in the real world if someone wore it all the time.
Wish I could find out where this guy got those tiny tritium lights/studs. Blue ones would solve the light issue in the triangle tab. They use them in watches, but the shape isn't the same. They last for 10 years or so and they don't need batteries.
They are pretty expensive as well.

Some what hard to make out. Here is the front of the chip.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the back of the chip. The decal doesnt line up with the the middle circles. It lined up with them perfectly in the door cracking scene.
