So, I received a box of old flashes a while back, and this one caught my eye for a communicator build. It took very little work to convert it to something I was happy with, then a bit of paint, some copper wiring, addition of a metal grill, some weathering of the paint, and gorilla glue, and it was ready. It only took me about a half hour of work, and a night of waiting for paint and glue to dry.

Did you put a covertech on that?

Very cool! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to add a com to their costumes/set-up.

I didn't add covertec, but it would be pretty easy to do! I figured I'd just put it in one of my pouches. And thanks, borgishmorg!

Nice one!  I'm always on the look-out for something I can convert into a comlink (like a gillete lady-shaver).  Smiley

Bluespike:  When the day comes, mine will definitely be getting a Covertech wheel. Wink

Thanks! I really enjoyed the build! I do think that I'll do a Gilette build in time, but this was just something I had on hand and wanted to convert to this use Smiley

I think it's awesome, unique but totally recognizably Star Wars.

Nice. Though I would get a men's Gilette thing. Didn't know that's what you could use to build coms out of. Makes me want to pull one off. I'd do mine movie accurate though.

I think Padawan's Guide used to have some info on those things, but I'm not sure. I haven't been over there in a long time. Cheap way out would be to just track down and buy one of the old Episode One Comtech Chip readers. A little bulky, but they actually look pretty decent aside from the thickness.


@Ben: NICE WORK! That looks sick, Dude! Very OT style. Almost looks like you made it from a retro mike instead of a flash! Very cool weathering job too. Love the little knob thing on there. Smiley
