The videoplayer shows the original attack-simulation animation which was used in the movie.

That is just beautiful!
I dabble in the Star Wars Universe of Toys... I rip apart little plastic people and turn them into other plastic people. Sometimes I take pictures of them and post them.

Thanks my friends  0/

No, it's not my smartphone  :D (but this would be a cheap method to built a "briefing-screen" :) ).
I've used a special kind of hardware (similar to small advertising video players) which allows to play
and/or stop the video pressing only one button.

The hardware for the briefing screen based on a new "display plaque" concept which I've developed in 2012.
The idea was to construct a state of the art display plaque for toy figures and/or models, which allows you to
show of your own videos, that "fits" to the character or the model. The most important thing was, to make it
user friendly with only one button (on/off).

Here some specs:

- Supports AVI-Files (DIVX format - no sound)
- Resolution 480x200 pixel
- USB-Connetor for uploading own videos and battery charging
- Inbuilt li-ion battery  (rechargeable)
- Dimensions: 12,5 x 7 x 1,7 cm ( 4cm with stand)
- 150 MB Ram (up to 30 min. Video lengh)
- 2.5h nonstop playtime
- Video loop funktion

Unfortunately there are still some technical problems which I've to fix, but at the moment I haven't enough
time to finish this project  :-\  Maybe in the near future I can show you the final product....

Here's a short video of the Motion-Plaque prototype:

So is this, or will this, be a product a person can buy?

That video is stunning and is now on our front page. So cool, this would be cool to just have for your one of a kind collectibles too!

Thanks my friend

That's the idea behind the project  ;) but I've really no idea how long it will take to develop a "ready to sell" product...sorry  :-\

Ok, here's are some pics of the (one of two) new "making of" diorama (maybe in the future I will do a repaint on the truck  ::) 8))

Many more pictures of the diorama and some from '76 here:

I hope, I can show you the second "making of" diorama (EP V) next weekend...

Where do you find the time? I'm fighting to find enough time to do the little bit that I do! Truly inspiring!
