WIP Lukes Hero macros Done..ish

[SD Studios]

Great job! Another awesome (and under-appreciated) SW prop!

I missed that darn triangular detail on the back! I thought my replica was done. Now I have to go make that. How did I miss that detail?? :facepalm Thanks!

I painted my lenses gray AND I painted the Seagul and B&H knob interior gray as well. My interpretation is that they were painted gray. Opinions vary...

Here is a pic of mine, with my interpretation of the "mystery side box". I hope someone figures that out soon. I also gutted and installed a cheapie video camera that I received as a "free gift" for buying from Staples.

Again, GREAT work! One of my favorite props!

Wow great results sofar guys ... @ SD Studios that's by far the best custom made mystery side box ...
I sense a run of resin casts in the forseeable future (moving my fingers in a jedi-mindtrick motion :lol)

Would love to see the vid-cam in action.
Love your interpretation of the mystery box :thumbsup

Could it be that you put the lense-plate wrong (has to be turned by 180° IMHO, so the "step" lines up with the Eumig body)?

I finally have a EIAJ mystery box coming, not the exact one but the "good enough" style, so I decided to redo all the pictures photobucket eff'd me on, so the thread has been rebuilt. What a PITA! I didn't do any revisions or updates, just left it with all its warts.

Finally got the last piece I needed to get the mystery box on. I've seen some questions about how to mount these so I figured id show how I did it. I know Im not following conventional wisdom but the end result works for me. I am going to leave the incorrect hrstot cover for now and wait to find the right one. Probably paint this one olive at some point.

The plugs I bought.

A little filing to get rid of the lip on the bracket , longer screws and some paint.

I didn't really like the pins so I decided to pull the plug off a monitor ive had for cctv. Pins are too long so I removed them and trimmed them down. I made them long at first then trimmed them down once the board was mounted to them

Then I realized I had little pin tops left so I put a little tiwst on them and with some superglue glued them into the other plug.

I had these old crossover pc boards laying around so I made a pc board for the pins.

I dabbed some tiny spots of solder to hold the board in place.

Then cut down the inside tab of the metal cage.

Lined it up to where I wanted it, used a centering punch , drilled one hole then stuck a screw in the hole and put a punch on the second hole and drilled through. I drilled it with the Eumig cover closed. Then put 2 long screws from the inside to hold it on.

I went with no inner cover on the hrstot.

This is how they sit now.....I can never get the exact angle for these comp shots.....and now I have to make a new transition box. I didn't make the curved part long enough. AARRGGHHH! lol. I'll put some red paint on the pc board and paint the tab green...…well hopefully this at least gives someone ideas on how to do theirs.

Makes sense to mount it flush.
Well done.

Thanks, eventually ill get the correct hrstot and the full metal plug.
