Pipboy Project Decision
Added 2018-06-25 20:24:42 +0000 UTCI have now got to a position that I'm confident that the basic model is done. I have just finished the buckle assembly which works well (shown below) and as game accurate as I could get along with sources most parts needed to create it.

The last thing to do to complete it so far is to do the cut out pattern for the leather forearm grip. I have an idea of how I just need to start detailing it. Once I have that done I will then start looking of how I can start adding LEDs realistic switches etc. which could take some time. if it is possible.
So, the purpose of this poll is to decide on what you guys want. Do you want the model as is, after I have done the leather grip or till itβs a completed project.
If 'Release Current Model' is selected is could still take me a week to create the assembly drawing and BOM for all the non-printed parts.

That would help. Thank you. I've got a glowforge that I love to use for cosplay

2018-06-27 13:28:11 +0000 UTCI'm going to print it as soon as you make it available. I've got a laser cutter and I'm itching to use it for the leather.

2018-06-25 22:22:48 +0000 UTCVery kind of you too ask and i do hope the majority settle for the leather option. Then you have a lot of time tuning it to perfection while we sand and paint away our spare time π

2018-06-25 21:03:31 +0000 UTCYes, for display it will be fine. I thought I'd give the options as some people might just want the model and kitbash the rest of it and some might want a completed product.

2018-06-25 20:39:03 +0000 UTCI guess with leather parts the model is done enough for display purpose? I voted for the leather one and would gladly print, paint and put in on my shelf. Of course i will print the final version to π
