That's awesome! BlooMilk

Maybe you should promote it more ... maybe on one of the established podcasts ... or a website.

Actually, everyone should check out episode #30 of SWMiniverse. Keith discusses his work and we link to his website. This is very cool stuff here. ThumpUp

And the light-up tank is only the start of it. There's much cooler stuff coming ... Drool

Keith's awesome work can be seen here:
http://www.keithspage.com/swmem/main.html

Check out episode #30 of SWMiniverse. Keith provides a segment about the awesome project he has been working on -- electronic maps and battery-powered minis. And let us know what you think.

It has been neat seeing the behind-the-scenese work he has put into it and the results. And it's nice to see that hard work paying off.

Glowing lightsabers are in the planning phase and will be quite tricky, I think I will be doing a hologram or force spirit next.

That's awesome! I'd love to turn my Ani FS into a glowing one! ThumbsUp same goes for holosid.


BTW, i just checked your site, and i've gotta say it's purely AWESOME. I viewed the tutorial on how to make your own electronic board and it looks pretty sweet and thourough as well. If you make multiple of these, are you willing to sell them possibly?

If there is enough interest to do a batch of 10 base stations or so the cost for parts goes down considerably. At that point I can do something on kickstarter since that seems to be the standard for funding star wars minis projects.

I definitely want to have a more refined "production" version of it before I attempt to sell them, although the current version is really close to what the final version would be. I would also like to have a pack in map/map module to include with every system. Sorta how every old nintendo came with mario bros. This means I need to partner up with a cartographer to get a map that would be designed to take advantage of the system and have it be the pack in map. Extra map modules would be sold individually on my site with paypal or something similar, since the cost to build is low. I'm not too worried about money though which is why the build plans and software for everything is free on my website. www.keithspage.com/swmem

I've started a thread specific to the electronic maps here: http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=8846
