[Four Mad Men]

Recovery of my pinched nerve continues. As a test of my ability to sit in a chair I started this simple device. It's a flashlight that I found sitting around in a closet (and if you don't care for flashlights just pretend it's a lightsabre)...

 

[Four Mad Men]

Time is quickly running out for pretending it's a lightsabre...

Bordom is a terrible thing. Do you want us to make suggestions for your next project.
I got it do a flashlight. :lol:

 

[Four Mad Men]

Of course it's not just any flashlight. It's a Four Mad Men ultra deluxe flashlight. I'm attempting to reconcile the interior and exterior while keeping true to the original design elements.

 

[beeblebrox]

You can't do that and keep it totally "canon". I would do a separate interior and exterior version. I think the movie version is 1/64' longer than the TV version, too. Don't forget to go to the Smithsonion "Flashlights Through Time" exhibit and get plenty of pictures. :thumbsup:

Especially the "restored" ones with the heavy, black grid lines.

THe Duracell(R) batteries,are they C or D, it does make a difference.

Now those are funny! :lol:

I will of course try to locate the original sensor dish, but I will be covering the exposed wiring.

They're "D" of course.

Managed a few minutes to get a good start on the cap. Took longer than you see here because it's threaded and flanged. Still need to cut the grooves...

 

[Lloyd Collins]

I don't know, I think that it might just be a lightsabre. If it was an Energizer(R) then Darth Vader would definitely want it. :lol:

hmmmmmm

the light goes on....an idea grows..... the fleet needs this design.A perfect starting point for a supply ship project.



improvise,adapt and overcome .we are the fellowship of modelers.

The more I look at the barrel detail, the more I'm leaning towards makeing a lightsabre version. That way I can get some use of of the lightsabre blade plugin... hmm...

Now that's something I'd like to see!

 

[Four Mad Men]

And finally for today, I finished the rear end cap and the forward (and only) deflector. Err... I mean REflector...

I think perhaps the reflector is too reflective

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Bulb or LED. It is important.

Wait I see it The Doomsday Machine Mark 4MADMEN. The most dangerous weapon of mass destruction that New Voyages could not afford to buy.

 

[Four Mad Men]

And now that it's got power, noting can stop me. Nothing! Nothing I say!!!

From the front

From the not-front

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Impressive,most impressive but it is not a lightsabre yet. :lol:

 

[Four Mad Men]

But we do have product placement...

 

[beeblebrox]

I think your batteries are in backwards. This is not a critisism of your work. It's more of a euphemism like "Your butter has slipped off your noodles" or "You've got SAE sockets in a metric nut world". :freak:

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Beeblebrox,
Just because you are ex-president of the universe, does not mean you know all. :lol:
