WIP Voyager Medkit

Hey guys. I am working on the details and the contents, but thanks to Rebel Scum, here is my Voy medkit so far:

And what she looks like on film:

That was fast!

Looking good, what type of paint did you use?

Didn't need to! Color it comes in was spot on!

^ I can confirm that. My old Weller soldering gun is currently resting inside the exact same case, with rough matte black finish.

Actually, believe it or not, mine is actually a dark grey, and not black. It photographs VERY dark, darker than the eyes actually percieve the color. If you look to the top right of the case, you can see the grey showing, and that part is more like the color in real life.

I have two weller cases. One is clearly black but its on the small side, say 8 or nine inches wide. The other is the dark grey case here, identical shape to the small one, but about 10-11 inches wide. Is it possible you actually have the smaller case Tim?

That looks mighty fine!

However, with all those differences in color and size, how is one supposed to find the right one from crappy eBay pics?

Thanks! I think I may need to redo the silver with a less reflective tape...We'll see.

The case is 11" wide. It is more of a gray/black color on closer inspection.

That's the one Tim!

PMed you.

Just finished my scratch build of one the tools.

Screenshot I found:

IAW pic of it:

And here's mine. not very accurate, but close enough for a medkit stuffer. The chrome tape did not translate well on camera.

Sweet build, looks great! What did you use for the metal cone on the front?

 

[thegreatgalling]

Thanks man, its actually an Ateco Pastry Tip that I snipped a little smaller.

Ahhh, I can see it now, very inventive, can't wait to see the case done and full of pieces!
