Guardians of the Galaxy: The tape deck on board the Milano

This is turning into a troll doll collecting thread, you learn to aappreciatethe different faces while looking for them. Maybe they use another popular toy for the next movie.
Sorry for derailing your thread Abe, lol. :$
Ok just throwing this out there to see if anyone on here is good at making 3d files for 3d printing?
I just ordered a Robo3d printer that should be here next week, if all goes well I have my eye on a bigger printer but for now its just for fun.
I was thinking maybe we could make the knobs and face into a 3d file, print it then prep the print "sanding etc" to make a master mold for casting in resin.
I think they could be painted well enough to look like aluminum.
Thoughts?
Oh and the one I got was used so it may be a few days of tinkering before its ready to print. unknown realm to me lol

Probably will machine them as that is easier and I have a ton of aluminum rods ranging from 1"od to 4"od I just wanted to play around and learn to 3d printing...... You gotta learn (start) somewhere. I figure if I can learn a bit and enjoy it I will get a more advanced printer.

One thing i noticed is a ton of people 3d printing now. Ive been doing it for close to 10 years. It just a tool, but there is more than one way to do things, but it seems some people dont take it past a cleaned up 3d print. We need to not pose traditional model making with machining and sculpting things.
I used the 3d files i made as a guide while machining. The thing with printing these is you have to sand in the machine marks on a lathe anyhow.
btw guys. I cut some thin styrene and used gold vinyl as the bezels details behind the large knobs. I tried 3d printing those bezels but it would be too much work to clean them up. I think the actual ones are machined also or a found item. I used the 1.75" aluminum rod for the large ones and the 1.05" rod for the small knobs. I will double check the large rod monday.

Definately at least 2 different shades of orange out there.
Unfortunately not, That's from the behind the scenes on the Milano footage.

Thought I'd use my first post to say great job! Would love to see the back and how you've put the electronics in. I assume the VU meters light up?

Hi,
I did this one as a static one, I have one I'm building as a working one for myself. A few things came up at home and put a damper on a bunch of little projects. I'll get pics as it develops.

Would love to see them. I have no idea what wood to use, or what tool to use to cut out the squares in the middle of it, but I'm an optimist! I'm out to make one for my garden office. Mine might be all foam sculpted though.

Hi
It's been almost 3 years since I first saw this post and I was wondering if you had completed the task at hand and wondered if you would lend some tips on what to do and tips on how you did it

Just joined the forums and found this thread. Amazing work! I've been toying with making a mini- cassette display like this, but in researching and getting screen shots of the Milano from the film, I am curious on something to the left of the tape deck (at the head of the bunk) - There appears to be two posters of a woman in a red dress. I had thought that maybe it was Alyssa Milano, but can' find anything matching online. Anyone have a clear shot or know anything about these pics?

Here are pics. It's nine images going from Bereet sitting at the table to the tape deck in the Milano. If you look at the white wall almost perfectly inbetween the troll doll and Peter's backpack, you will see two posters of a woman in red on the wall. The top one looks like she is standing, the bottom one appears to be more of a sitting shot.
