@marklafrance8141 Hi Mark! Happy New Year to you as well! It was a fun build for sure! I added a lot more lights than were provided in the lighting kit, the figures, radar screens motors, and the sound chip. Toughest thing about it was gluing the top down. Even with 5 minute epoxy, it didn't want to stay down. But, of course, I eventually got it cleanly glued down. Good luck to you on your Polar Kights version. Does that one have the figures? Which light kit are you going to use -- if you light it? I'd like to see it when it's finished.

@tracytobias9367 did some scratch builds of things. Ordered landing gear bays and correct seating from someone on ebay last year. So the buid goes slow. Built my own lighting. My cousin is an engineer and helped me with circuit boards.

@@CliftonGatlin Thank you! It was a chore to build! 🤣

@@ronbusby3335 Thanks a bunch, Ron! It was a tough build because of the paint job and the electronics. This is the first time I ever attempted anything like this. Thanks again!

@qakeith Thank you so much!! You are going to save some time with yours. I didnt use the decals, I airbrushed the Aztec pattern on with irridecesent taxidermy lacquer paints over an automotive lacquer spray white. Just prepping the surface for painting was a big chore. All the best on your build! Please send me a link if you put it on KZbin -- I'd love to see it. I always enjoy seeing what other fans/hobbyists do with their kits!

@@tracytobias9367 Oh I certainly will. I have a channel with my other models, and this will be on it for sure, but it will be a while!

@johnatsf1564 Hi John! Thank you!! 😊

@@OrganizeCreateDecorate Thank you! Is that you in the profile pic?

@@tracytobias9367 You're welcome. No, that is not me, though I did draw it. I'm in your MeWe group. Just a different name here. I think you'll know who I am, as you asked to see some of my art.

@@OrganizeCreateDecorate Oohhhh yeahhh!! Hi there! 👋 🤣

@@tracytobias9367 Hi, Tracy.

@HarrisFilmProductions Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind feedback! Took me a while to put this together. I did use a tripod for most of this, but went hand-held for some of those interior closeups. It was hard to see inside there, but the detail is there -- including the ceiling lights. I even lit the back room.

@@chef48195 Thank you!! :-)

@@MrChuckyK @MrChuckyK -- I used one of these! The great thing about these is that if you compress the sound files and use mono, you can get a lot of sound clips on these. I didn't even come close to filling this thing up for this build. XLW Module - 16MB Push Button Activated Sound Module with Speaker, Type-C Cable, and Easy Recording Capability16 Minutes for Personalized Greetings, DIY Projects, and Holiday Crafts (Blue-2Pack) a.co/d/cpIUhEU

Also, the quality of your sound will depend on how you prepare your MP3 files. The more compression, the smaller the file, but the sound quality will suffer if you make the file sizes too small.

Love it!! 😂

Stupid. Kid, if you had actually been around when the show came out you would have BEGGED for these back then...and for decades after! I don't give a shit about seams. These are toy replicas NOT PROPS. ::BIG EYEROLL:: 🙃 No, they aren't perfect, but they are good enough for me -- and ten times better than the flashlights and squirt gun versions that were available when the show was out.

I'm almost ashamed to tell you. LOL!! But my inner 1975-76 kid could not resist. This set was around $200 .It's are that I spend that kind of money on something like...well...a toy. If you are into building models, there is now a model kit version of the commlock and stun gun that can be lit and sound FX can be added (although those have to be bought separately and will likely boost the price up to price of the Sixteen 12 set shown here). But then, you have to also invest time into building them, buy paints and supplies...

Same here!! I was disappointed that this prop didn't include that sound. I guess they are saving that for a second "Year 2 version" of this (and the same for the commlock with Year 2 dialog). You know how these companies love to "double dip" the fans!

@@tracytobias9367 Yup.Im sure they will.
