3D Printed Badge Display's

 I wanted a display stand for my 26mm O/D pin badges. This one was my first test print but second design idea.

This stand has printed holes for the backing pins to fit through. The pins weren’t all in the same position though. So for the file release version, I’ll remove these holes. Simply press the pin into a piece of paper and then position it in the recess, then drill your hole, large enough so that the second spike part also fits through. I had to use a small piece of rubber sheet on the rear as one of the pins clasp wasn’t tight enough, but the others wouldn’t of fitted if the print was thicker.

Next up was to convert the design for two & one pin badge versions.

Droids & Animatronic Creatures - live panel Celebration 2019

Missed being able to watch this at the weekend,

so was greatfull that I could eventually watch

via the You Tube channel.

Droids & Creatures Panel - Celebration 2019

Listening to Neil, Brad & Josh talk about the CFX's used in the films is amazing!

I don't usually post up links, but whilst watching this, I saw someone who I had met & knew had appeared in the film(s), but had recently passed away. He can be seen in the video at 5min 51sec & again at 6mins 48sec. And I thought it would be nice to share as a reminder.

His name was
Derek Campbell.
He is the actor who can be seen in the picture below of the unamed 'tall robot' in
Solo a Star Wars story.

In addition, Steve Wright was mentioned by Neil,
who also passed away earlier this year.

New Tool Box......stickers 1.0

Posted up a few pics of the stickers already added to the new tool box.

Saturday's event brought two more:

I then remembered I had another R5 sticker from left coast graphics. A vintage R5-D4 via their Etsy shop. Same sticker, but trying to not get a reflection on it.

This version was a chrome one, not a white version. These I have stuck on my transport sledge.

Two more stickers arrived with a patch I got from 'Half the Droid'. Checkout his Facebook page here. One was an artistic version of his R2-D2, and the other was the 'walk of shame'. A recent addition to the club after recent events lol, mechanical or electrical, where you've had to push your droid back to base. This stickers is just for laughs.

I also placed three very special stickers on the case.....
