proof of concept HT USCM shoulderlamp

[Indiana Fett]

Nice Glenn! Really sweet! Let me know when you can take on more. I need 4 or 5 done.

Also any luck with the motion tracker? THAT looks tricky, mate.

Hurricane, get ready for more... I'm in for a couple too!!!

That looks awesome!

And if the tracker works, I'll take at least one of those too.

Looks like all we need left is to make the ammo read-out glow on the rifles.

Oh wow hurricane...count me in too! Need them done for Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Drake and Apone! That's 5...just like Paul.

And I can't wait to see what you do with the motion-tracker!

This set-up truly is going to be the 1/6 showstopper in my collection. I mean Jabba is cool...and so is Robo and ED (and sometime next year, CAIN!)...but with the upcoming Power-Loader (that lights up) and the 2 ALIEN warrior versions...and all my marines custom painted by the figure master (Thanks again Les, you ROCK...and Mikey, can't forget you...you did my Apone way back when)...and the potential to get these shoulder lamps and trackers lit up by hurricane...man, oh man, this set-up is going to RULE!

Now we just need the QUEEN! The P-L vs. Queen in 1/6 would blow Jabba out of the water!

Hurricane, how can I get signed up with you for working lamps for my marines? I have Hicks, Hudson, Vasquez, Apone and Drake. So I would need to get 5 of them. I plan on making customs of Frost, Deitrich and Crowe eventually. I'll do Frost next. Do you accept money orders for the lamps? I could do Paypal to you if you take Paypal paments. What type of discount can you offer for multiple lamps? Please let me know here, or PM me. I definitely want to get working lamps for all of my marines! Incredible work!

First off, thanks to all for the kind words.

Hurricane, as usual you do not disappoint! Nice work man!

Now, finally got my micro-switches in and completed my version of the lamp. Got to tell you guys it is a difficult task to mod this thing (still seeing cross-eyed and my thumbs are killing me). After seeing the size of the switches I knew I had to try getting the thing into the spot it would have been on the 1:1 prop. Remember this is V1.0 I've learned a lot and the next one will be much cleaner. Sorry for the somewhat blurry images.
I will post a how to with a detailed parts list when I get started on V2.0. Should be in a day or so. Thanks all this board rocks!

I'll stay in touch with you Hurricane about those great working shoulder lamps for the HT marines that you make. I hope to get one for each of my marines that need them someday soon from you.

My father was a jeweler and I inherited all of his tools when he passed away. Got these great magnifying glasses. Many dentists use the same type of thing.
