Still in early stages of construction, but I'm pleased with the shape so far...

looking good.

Thanks.

Here we are after a little sanding and paint.



Next step, clean up the details, repaint, and figure out how to do the lights on the front and back.

looks great! i just hope you dont go with that and do some shoplifting or hijacking or whatsoever.

Oh, no chance! I kinda doubt it would pass as the real thing though.

I'm working on the rear panel now, I have square LEDs that I can turn on with a hidden dip switch so I can have it display the various charge levels.

It won't open up and go into limit release unfortunately... Maybe another version!

Yeah, I'm not quite finished with that section - I was going to enlarge it with some side & bottom plates and add a few pieces of surface detail.

In the mean time:



Charge level one! The circuitry for the display is funcioning, it just needs more cosmetic work before attaching.

neat!

Just a few more bits and pieces now...

(the bulldog clip is just temporary)

I must admit, it's pretty difficult to get a totally accurate idea of what the GBE looks like in exact detail, because Nihei draws it a little differently every time.

For the front lights, what do you think... Blue or red?

EDIT: When I'm done, I'll take high-res photos - this is my crappy camera.

i say blue! but normal white is far more elegant.

Still looking good

Rear panel:

thats amazing how u made that, you are certainly talented

only one thing:

The prop's been on hiatus for a while - I had to rethink the grip assembly because it was too frail. I've installed a bracket now that should make a good base for it, and I'll post more pics when there's something to look at.
