The Madhatter Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Im subscribed already to Boylei HT and have been meaning to try out the filament lighting myself after being inspired by his video with the storm trooper. With the filament itself, is it flexible or rigid? If its flexible, how to you create the rigid line of the beam? Where did you run the wires out of for the second beam (the furthest from the ATST)?

The filaments are rigid, they seem to be led elements in a resin rod, so if you WANTED to portray a curved light, you can snap them and position as you like. To wire the light in the ground, I drilled a hole through the base and ran the wires under the ground to the battery box. Home straight, I've got the rodents in place. oento clean the glass and come up with a forrest backdrop to finish it off!

Out2gtcha Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Love it!!! I have to agree on Boylei HT. He's got a funny/cool sense of humor too, and unlike a lot of hobby/craft/dio vids I watch, his voice doesnt sound like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Well done on this one, I've grown quite fond of this type of work now after making my wife a little sculpture. RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I've evnjoy this style of build too, total freedom of imagination, and a whole bunch of new techniques that we'd not normally use on pure aircraft builds! Yours turned out fantastic, have you got some ideas for the the next one? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said is turning out fantastic I feel your concern about resin pouring, I'm sure you've been watching all the YouTube videos too!

RadBaron Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 I found a suitable picture for the background, had it printed and trialed the fit. I want the background to wrap around the sides of the box so ill have the picture printed again, and chop it up for the sides. Here's a quick mock up, excuse my potato-cam pic LSP_K2, Hartmann352, scvrobeson and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kensar Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 In addition to the Ewok kill marks, add Jar Jar Binks kill marks too. Please. RadBaron, Christoffer Lindelav and Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Some snow days here in Texas, means a few days spent at home, giving the perfect chance to wrap this up I printed extra background pics to wrap around the sides of the box, and painted them all with Tamiya matt clear to cut down the reflections. Stencils for the title, teddys and switch labels were made using Silhouette cameo, a clean up and called it complete! @eoyguythanks for the drawings It's a completely self contained box, the idea is that now it can be hung up on a wall, like any other shadow box. This proved to be a great fun build and I'd heartily recommend anyone with an interest to give it a go!

eoyguy Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Nice! The night time version is especially atmospheric. I only wish there was another small set of feet sticking out from under one of the AT-ST feet. I really hates the Ewoks... RadBaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
