Missed this before. You should have more comments, really nice job on this! What do you have on the microchip there? Cool tactic to match the real prop.
Great pics. Thanks for sharing
if we could get someone who has connections with the O2 center in London to give us a couple measurements. who can get you 5 minutes with the original hero and a digital caliper,
I was planning on it. Even went so far as to get quotes from a couple shops. But Nicksdad just did his. So, I figured demand would be a little low.
I would want to do it, if we could get someone who has connections with the O2 center in London to give us a couple measurements. Also, I'd like to partner with someone who does electronics to give us a control box with illuminating and blinking red and green triangle leds.
Find me the correct triangle LEDs, find me someone who wants to make some easy electronic boards to go in the control box, and start dating someone who works at the O2 center in London and who can get you 5 minutes with the original hero and a digital caliper, and I'd love to go for broke and make the most accurate Luke ROTJ even more accurate.
Triangle LED: know someone a sabersmifn who may have even few hundred pairs of red and green triangle LEDs.
LED sequencer: need a circuit board for a two channel LED sequencer. In principle shouldnt be too difficult to get it built to fit in the control box. Need an electronics guru or find an outfit that can build a custom circuit board
Dating someone at the O2 center: this may be difficult since the exhibit at the O2 center is only full September 2017. Getting access to take measurement from the GL's personal SW collection exhibit may be quite difficult unless some Londoner among the RTFer is willing and able. Would you settle for some high res pictures?
I think the two buttons on the metal Hero are connected around half-way deep into the space between them.I think the black buttons are two separate pieces
It looks like the 2 boxes might be connected halfway down. I see metal on the top but it's black underneath that.thats interesting, though i still see metal in between the buttons on the side image!
If you can find the leds please let me know. I've only come across ones that were too big or the wrong shape. As to the LED sequencer. I agree. Probably not a biggie for an electronics guy, but I'm not an electronics guy. Anyone want to step up? As to references, I have plenty of pics and castings. I just one some hard numbers. But maybe that's a pipe dream
