Started building a resin motion tracker a few years back with a few found real parts added to it.
Jobo mini lux
Hama self timer and box
casio sl calculator panel
Hama slide viewer
Vivitar 2500 flash
olympus t10 i think
Noble sling
switches and jacks and cable and speakers



coat of brown bess matched auto paint and it came up ok.

mounted a speaker in the front behind the mesh

drilled out all the resin screws before painting and installed real ones after painting.
it looked the goods and was happy with it until i found a real Kango 426 drill here in Australia

Pulling it apart and gutting it was a real greasy dirty job.


Being a drill from the mines it was flogged and covered in scratches. So i sand and filled and started painting it.

installed another speaker in it behind the mesh.

Got my hand on the
Matchbox transformer
Hamer remote release. that took 2 years to find.
pump widget cast in aluminum



This is the stage its at now. Fully painted just needs to be assembled.


will post more pix when finished hope you like.

Looking really good there....nice one

The project I could never finish! Any more pictures?

awesome

Very nice! Is there a good way to trim down the matchbox transformer?

Not really. I used a vernier to scratch a line around it then cut it with a dremel. It cuts easy and then i sanded the cut smooth on a large sheet of sandpaper on a bench.

Wow, that's a great work on those parts. Looking forward to see more pics.

Ill be pulling my finger out this weekend with any luck and have it all together.

Wow that's awesome! Does anyone know what is the equivalent auto paint to Brown Bess?

I just got it color matched at an auto paint shop.

Btw, what's the name of the olive paint you've used?

its not olive its an automotive match of brown bess humbrol enamel paint.

Finished most of this build today. Just got to work out what I'm going to do for sound and display screen.

Trigger, I have access to automotive paint, can you tell me the numbers as well as degree of gloss?

Sorry no I can't. I gave them a sample and they paint matched it and matted it down. There was no code for this colour.

Great tracker! You've even got the red wires in the bottom.

Can you tell me more about the wire that runs above the keypad and black box? It looks like it goes from being a rubber tube to being a thick piece of wire that then bends and connects to the Kango. What is it?

Trigger, where did you get that decal inside the tracker monitor? Also, where did you get those specific strap swivels?
