Recently I started working on a (generic) Jedi costume for the Rebel Legion. I have food capsules and an A99 and I'm working on a droid caller from a vintage Kobold (so happy I found one!). The comlink is one of those things that rarely pops up on its own so I've decided to make two of them. Still deciding on the final versions. I need to get screen caps from the movies (thank goodness for Blu-Ray) so I can make a final call on that. Still, I'm going to work to identify all of the parts for the variants before making that call. Assuming the.rebel.agent or someone else that has built one doesn't mind, I may offer kits down the road once everything is worked out.
I have to give a ton of credit here to the.rebel.agent and many others for the hard work done in previous threads. I'm hoping to enlist the help of all again to get this going with the correct parts. I want to shoot for a "screen used" version along with the EP1 blood sampler so there's a lot to do here.
If I don't have any luck getting the original laser cutting sheets from the.rebel.agent (I've contacted him to see if he can find them) I'll have to recreate them to make a new one :cry
If anyone has the files with the measurements loaded so we can actually get orders in, please contact me!!
So far, the only part I have in my possession is the Gillette Sensor Excel razor. I managed to get two of them on eBay for way more than they are really worth :angry
Based on the few threads that exist and some discussions I've held over PMs, it looks like I'll need to track down the following items. If anyone can help identify missing parts or provide sources for things I can't find (like solder tabs) please post in the thread or shoot me a PM! I have reviewed the site of the person that supplied many of the parts but I can't find anything useful to buy off his site now: http://www.bobsbits.tv
Parts:
SOLDER LUG - closest anyone seems to have found is the 5403 from Seastrom ( Seastrom Manufacturing - Solder lugs in brass with tin plating ) BUT they have an MOQ of 100 pieces and none on hand. Not really looking to invest $120 on six lugs
MATRIX PINS - antennae for the comlinks, part number M39029/5-115. Trying to get a deal on them on eBay.
ACORN NUTS - seen on the back of one of the variants, part number DIN 1587 M3. EDIT: Bought 50 of them on eBay ( 50pcs Lot DIN1587 M3 Stainless Steel A2 Acorn Dome Head Hex Nuts | eBay )
9mm TRI-STARS - in the past others have used tri-beads to make these and I may go that route if I can't work out the laser cutting sheet. Here's a set on eBay of the beads: 150 Pink Blue Purple Plastic Tri Beads 9mm Great for Easter Baskets | eBay
TRIANGULAR HEAD BOLT - two of these can be seen on the center/back portion of the comlink on Parts of SW. Best thing I can find is 3D printed from the.rebel.agent's store: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Triangular Head Bolt by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
TOP LEVER PART B - credit to the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Top Lever Like Part B by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
TOP LEVER PART A - credit to the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Top Lever Like Part A by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
MICROPHONE PART - credit to the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Voice Microphone Part by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
POSITIVE LOCK PART - credit to the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Positive Lock Part by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways - Looks like the real-world part number is something like M85731/1-14C but I can't find it on any site I can buy it from :facepalm
TRUNCATED CONE - this is from the back of the Parts of SW version. Credit to the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Truncated Cone Part by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
TRI SCREW - this has been identified as a #4 tri-wing bolt. I'll probably order some brass ones from eBay like these: 3 16? Tri Wing Bolts NAS4403 4 Tri Slot Screw Bolt NAS Aircraft Hardware Screws | eBay . Can also be purchased on Shapeways through the.rebel.agent: Jedi Comlink Prop Replica Tri-Wing Bolt by the.rebel.agent on Shapeways
