Test of lighting up our 1/8 KITT Scanner and speedometers.

Dear Members

We uploaded my 1/8 KITT test video on youtube.

We have many difficulties from its scale, but we are doing our best.

Combining working real tiny monitors and working voice icolizer, and other readouts, I hope that many of you enjoy our KITT soon.

Now we have some delay of its finishing.

But within a month, we are sure to complete it.

Thank you.

Love everything but the voicebox itself.

The little dots do not convey the talking look as nice is it could look.
The dots are spread to far apart. Is there any ways to make them
closer together? Maybe use big fiberoptics?

Or perhaps make it the blinking box from the pilot/first few episodes.

The rest of it looks amazing for the scale.

Dear Brian

Thank you for your advice.

We already considered the idea about about making a squere shape voice equipment.

However, my friend said to me "It`s very easy to make the squre one technically compared to icolizer, but I have a technichque to make moving icolizer version , so please give me a chance"

The dots look like mounted far apart but If you see some other my videos, maybe you will notice that 1/8 scale will cover the distance of each dot and maybe make them concentrated to its center.

No one will care the distance the balance of the dots with naked eyes I hope.

Thank you.

That is really too cool.


Must be nice to do cool things like that, some day I will buy one of those Onex 29er bikes at Walmart and make KITT bike with a real scanner on the front of it.

Here is this week`s progress.

Our KITT will be completed on this weekend.

Since the limitation of time and budget, our KITT is not perfect.

But we badly worked together and used $OOOOO, and one half year.

I don`t say this model is perfect, nothing is perfect except real KITT on the screen.

But I love this KITT and this KITT lives forever.

I really appreciated all of your cooperation for giving us many advices.

Best

Shin

That came out really nice. Love the working headlights too!

Can't wait to see it all assembled.
