War of the Planets (Italy, 1977)

I know what I'm doing for cosplay night! 😜

Still frame from an Italian sci-fi movie "War of the Planets" (1977).  It's a bad movie, but this shows 3 crew members of the spaceship at the center of the action, one man and two women.  They are wearing felt-like head coverings that look almost identical to the "sleep helmet" sales image that started the thread.

My friends and I have made movies most our lives. Here, we work on Jehovah's prop wings for a scene in "SHOT DOWN DEAD." 1995.

The dingus fully assembled and on its stand. The body is painted gun metal. But again, the top faceplate is not quite accurate. It's too light of a grey, but it's the best I have for now. Also still waiting on one more chrome knob. If/when I do end up printing a new faceplate, the little faux grilles on the left need to go down a bit. Especially if I eventually add the mystery button.

There is a LCD and RasPi 3 in there, but electronics are still TBD[IIADA] - to be determined if I actually do anything.

I can't seem to find a better shade of grey acrylic for the Hybrid Controller faceplate. Even my go-to bulk supplier doesn't have one. It's either charcoal, which I have, or gray/silver, which I also have. So I'll just settle with the current too-light plate for now. If I run across a mid-gray acrylic I'll cut another plate.

Currently painting the body (Tamiya gun metal) and printing a stand. The I'll re-assemble (minus one knob until my parts boombox arrives).

Q: Why don't you just paint it?
A: b/c it already is painted. That's how the lettering is blacked in. It's laser-etched with the backing paper on, then black is sprayed into the etched bits, then the paper removed. I would need to paint it, re-paper it, etch and cute it, and I just don't wanna go that route. I want the top to have the smooth gloss of cast acrylic.

Right color (mostly, i'm gonna keep looking) acrylic arrived today. Cut and etched and it looks good. Just painting the ring and I'll post pics.

Also the crhome knobs from the Unitech boombox came today and jesus jones do they look so so good. But there are only two. So... I bought a for-parts Unitech CX-955 of eBay to salvage another knob. They just look too good not to.

Just need to paint the body (Tamiya gun metal) and then decide how much time I wanna invest in the electronics/screen. Also the ring on the left is not shown here. I just painted it and it's drying.

Assuming the side grips fit, I'm pretty much done with modeling. The only thing I'll need to do is print a carrier for the Pi and Display so they stay put. And of course the Mystery Button, which I've simply left off for now.

Next I need to lay out the top plate with graphics for laser cutting. Somehow I even have the right acrylic already. Go go hoarding powers activate.

The body will get a couple of coats of Tamiya gun metal.

Oh... and then I have to make the display do something, wire up at least one encoder and fader, and cram a battery in there. My least favorite part.

Just tested and the Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4.0 will fit nicely in the screen area. I just need to design a carrier for it (and maybe adjust the bezel, printing a bezel now to test).

I left the screen area just an open rectangle about the size of most wide 4" LCDs so that I could put whatever fit behind it and just make a carrier for that specific screen.

Bottom is printing now, but it all fits together! I printed the top plate just for this test fit, but I intend to laser cut it so I can engrave the detentes, lettering, and details on it.

UPDATE: Tweaked the middle part which was somehow off height-wise. Once I confirm that's all good with a new print of the middle, I will need to tweak the fader/knob/button mount insert to be a bit taller so it once again mates with the dowels on the now-further-away back plate. Then it's on to laying out the top plate graphics for etching and laser-cutting. Still no idea what I'm gonna do with the 'mystery button' that was always hidden by the actor's thumb.

Hell to the yes, fam. The fader's knobs and buttons all fit together.
