Just for fun, tried to recreate a scene from the film...
...and yes, I made the lightning hook that HT failed to produce.

Awesome Marty and DeLorean pictures!

Thanks! Appreciate it.

Great pics, and great work on the lighting rod!

...when I get home I'll take photos of the supplies and tools I used. On and off it took me a little over 6 hours I think to get it done. That includes hunting down references.
I don't often do tutorials, heck I often go through with a project without stopping to take photos. When I'm in the zone, nothing stops me!

I'll post supply pics soon.

It turned out great! I can't wait to see how you did it. Thanks

Awesome work on the lightening rod and great photos overall ShortWookie

 

[mikelipino]

Fantastic work! I'd also be curious on how you made that lightning rod

 

[ShortWookie]

Just started on the hood box for my part 3 conversion for my second DeLorean.


...hopefully by next week I'll have half the components made.

 

[ShortWookie]

Some of the components installed. Still rough and a long way to go, but slowly getting there.

 

[cmiller99]

Very impressive. How are you making the components?

Superb work

three nearest are clear LEDs. There's a few coloured screws. A piece of armored cable of some sort. Absolute brilliant job scavenging all that. You're like a Borrower

Yea, the colored screws are for reference, as the replacement part like everything else is hand made. Besides that, yes, I guess I am like a borrower!

Your attention to detail is fantastic , so many talented people on the boards, unfortunately not me.

What are the clear dome-topped tubes, Shortwookie? I assume they're fuse holders keeping them in place?

Actually they are glass charms for a necklace. They come is a variety of sizes and shapes. I found these only for cheap as a bundled purchase. Assembly required...
...they have a rubber stop inside and I glue the chrome cap to it. It does the job. I was going to add the small wires inside to create a filament look, but I'm not going that crazy for details. Heck, the ILM model used in the train sequence in part 3 was close enough looking, but not crazy accurate at all. Either way, I'm getting close.

of course! Now I can see what they are. You buy them to fill with coloured sand etc. It's official - you are the King Borrower! What a great find.

...forgot to post these...

Last update for the night. Still a long way to go.
