Have you ever lost a project? Meaning that you started one, or even started the design and then never returned to it? Maybe you had a great idea and then lost interest, or it was too difficult? Maybe it was even something you fully intended to work on but never found the time to go back to it. Well, we are going to address some of our own Lost Projects today and see if we can get them back on track!

Love seeing the old analog stuff being used in your builds !!

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Sweet! Thanks man!

The Discord needs a new section for "stalled projects" where we shame ourselves by posting pics of builds we started but never finished.

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Absolutely!

@slowazzd2165 5 месяцев назад

Honestly i "half finished projects anonymous" support group is absolutely necessary

Can I get a link to the discord? I don’t see one in the video bio

@salvatoreattinello3942 6 месяцев назад

I can relate to this video SOOOOOOO much! I have a ton of items in my workshop waiting for me to get to them, and "Star Wars-ify" them. Every time I go out to yard sales, or thrift stores, I find even more, and I can't just not get them. :)

That portable TV is the PERFECT base for a large-ish gadget like a mobile computer/comms system or something. I know you've already sorta done that but it just has "Rebellion Portable Computer" written all over it. Maybe it's a super important mobile computer that has top secret information or something idk but it's just too good not to use!

Dude, you opened my Pandora's Box! Or as I call it, my 'room of requirement' (my wife calls it the garage, I don't know why, we haven't parked a car in it for 34 years!). I used to have one of those t.v.'s but I must have garage sold it. I have way too many projects that have been on hold. My wife isn't as enthusiastic as yours about me making things with 'no purpose'. It was OK when it was for the kids' Halloween costumes. I suppose I really need to clean it out. 😢

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Once you open Pandora's box you can't close it!!! As far as making things without a purpose, I challenge that. In some cases the "Purpose" is simply an outlet for the maker. What you make may never be practical, but what it can do for your mental state can help you in many other ways. At least that's how it works for me.

@carlonmarlon4850 6 месяцев назад

Most hobbies are just doing something without a purpose. You do it for yourself, to clear your mind and regenerate your batteries. My wife sees nothing wrong with it and even supports me by buying tools. Talk to your wife and let her know what positive impact this hobby has on you. Good luck!

I bought an old Speak and Spell after you shared your ideas about it. I’ve modeled up several parts for it in Fusion. I was actually looking at it the other day. I was thinking; ‘I wonder if Brian is ever going to revisit this?’. I was also thinking; ‘I’ve gotta really get back to working on this’. I had a few really cool ideas for it. I’ve got a few other ‘retro’ toys/gadgets that I’ve picked up with intents on Star Warsifying them. Maybe I’ll eventually finish SOMETHING.

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

That razor modified to look like a speeder of some type would be incredible. Droid slot with AstroMech and blasters. Weathered of course. Maybe an imperial assault vehicle.

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

right? I have been thinking about that project for almost 6 years! I'm very intimidated by it, but maybe this summer the time has come!

@davel9130 6 месяцев назад

It doesn't matter what you're doing or when you do it. Find something you feel like doing and then do that. What ever it is, it will be great.

Regarding the Polaris: you could always do panels ala set design from CreateSciFi and make them magnetic. Maybe even layout your greeblies and replicate a few scaled up in EVA foam, throw in some bendable wire protectors/sheeting and old toolbox lids... Boom Bob's your uncle If you dont wanna do magnets I have some Drifting friends that have used heavy duty Velcro to secure removable car body panels for easy of repair in hard to reach areas too

Damn it. I was thinking to myself earlier, "Its a good thing there aren't more content creators that have channels devoted to clever, fun, and nerdy ideas. I have to many myself, already," but here you are. To prove my bina fides, i just got through making teeth with green stuff. I don't need anymore ideas. Lol Yeah, I've subscribed and rang the bell. This is going to be a bad thing, or the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

That little portable TV is a classic so is the hit and missile game. I would also like to build an ornithopter type cockpit myself

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

They are absolutely classics . . . but i'm also absolutely going to modify them! LOL. An ornithopter cockpit would be great!

@JohnB1163 6 месяцев назад

@@TheSmugglersRoom I would modify them too as well as other things like that and the cockpit would be fantastic especially if it worked with lots of switches and lights and stuff like that all built out of found parts and lots and lots of greeblies

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Great idea!

@cernstormrunner7263 6 месяцев назад

OOH i want to see what you do with that Hit And Missile. What pops in my head is - i dont know what you call them - its a round panel that looks like a flat plasma sphere? If you watch Star Trek they use them on the Borg regeneration coves a lot, usually where the actors head goes. Maybe one of those in the round screen part?

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

That's a great idea! My problem is I have so many ideas for it!!!

@Echowhiskeyone 6 месяцев назад

I have a Hit and Missile, working when last used. And a few other old electronic games. All working when last used. Have to dig them out. One is an old 1978 Coleco football game, I think I played it to death. Also Atari 5200 with controllers with the number pads. Now I have ideas forming. Thanks.

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Excellent!!! I think those old vintage games are a perfect platform for a cool prop upgrade!

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Yes they can. I will likely just add electronics to it, not modifying the existing electronics.

@sackofham 6 месяцев назад

Does that old portable TV have any old school video inputs? I remember way back in the day we had a converter that we had to screw down in the antenna inputs that let us play our Atari and Nintendo. Wondering if you could hook a small video player of some sorts and have it looping Star Wars style read outs.

@TheSmugglersRoom 6 месяцев назад

Its coaxial only, but I have a converter for that 😉
