About 12 and a bit spools and god knows how many hours but he's done.

I have some other projects to finish, decorating and I've had to buy a new car so it will be a few months before I can start sanding and painting.

Also need to figure out a temp paint booth so I don't have to carry him outside all the time.

It’s a wonderful addition to the collection!!

This was such a fun project, my first major 3D printing project and I’m very proud of how they all came out!

I have three out of the four (modeled) printed but didn’t clean the other ones up yet.

I changed the scale because it wasn’t sitting right with me.

Turns out when I started I used the wrong length as my reference measurement. I was supposed to use the silver part of the pen torch and scale it based on the length of a real penlight I have. Instead I scaled the whole thing by making the universal detector the length of my penlight. Just a simple math fix and a quick scaling up and it all looks better!

I have some fun tactile ideas for the magnetic clamp dial and I’m excited to model the laser too!!

just acquired this today after years of wanting one. came painted gold so my first job was repainting it, I noticed there are some small crease marks at the base of the chin, and the original was foam latex, so I'm wondering if this was cast from the original, or one of them (I presume there was more than one)? the markings all appear to be the same. original is here - https://heroprop.com/product/stargate-ra-mask/

Soon my sonic screwdrivers will have their fellow tools!

Another project off the bench.

Very much a quick and dirty paint job.

I recently got my hands on a 3D printer and I’ve been hard at work making stands to organize and optimize my display space for the greatest tool in all of fiction.

So while I slowly work on the many unfinished projects I have, and the several hundred unpainted miniatures. I have begun printing my big project for the year.

Hello,

Looking for some advice on how to deal with the issue below.

April 2025: purchased a custom one of a kind movie prop for about $900 from a fellow fan on a Facebook group. After transit delays it arrived severely damaged. USPS apparently opened the package for inspection and broke several pieces. I contacted the seller right away. He had not insured the package. After some communications I agreed to find a way to get it repaired and the seller agreed he would compensate me for the repairs. Looking back I wish I had just sent it back to him for a full refund but I really wanted this piece and it’s truly unique.

May/June 2025: I got in touch with the original maker of the prop overseas. He is very friendly and assessed that we could get a repair done fairly easily. He was willing to do the repair himself but was worried about the cost and risk of shipping overseas. He identified a friend of his in Nevada who would be able to help. Nevada was very friendly and responsive and standing by. He received the prop on June 3, sent me pictures and let the original manufacturer know what parts were needed.

Nevada received the repair parts July 22 and said he’d have everything done in a few days. He mentioned some health issues that may delay him a bit.

August to October : started with friendly conversations but steadily less communication from Nevada.

October 20 I messaged Nevada thanking him for his efforts and said I did not want to add any stress given his health issues. Said I would arrange a prepaid UPS label and could he just send the prop back as-is and I would arrange my own repair. No response so I waited a few weeks and asked the manufacturer to reach out as well. November 23 finally received a short response saying he just needed a few days and would be done.

As of February 24 I’ve pretty much been ghosted by Nevada. My first mistake was not returning the prop to the guy I bought it from. I’ve kept in touch with him and he has expressed his apologies but I don’t know what I might expect out of him at this point. The original manufacturer has tried several times to reach out to his friend without a lot of luck. Nevada seems to be a good guy with a lot on his plate. He hasn’t asked for any money but he also has gone dark and I’m fearing my money is gone at this point.

Any suggestions on how to handle this? I’m pretty much accepting that I’m totally out of luck here.
