TD-1536 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just about got the dial done, but need to find the correct font. This is just a sample gif file, but I have the original as Vector art I'll continue to refine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 WOW! that was fast! Mike..look at the data's note,i think the small letters on the bottom says "PB WB | AIR" Bring the gap between the words on the middle left closer.........it also(probably) says "AIR wb PB" those are bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who is the blame for this expensive Christmas?! LOL. TK-J? Expensive?????? Christmas?????? Who me?????? I thought I might finally get some kip after finding it. Noooooo. Glad to finally put something back into this hobby, and not just make up the numbers. As for scale, we should be able to use the cistern or tupperware lid as a frame of reference, providing we can get good screen grabs giving plenty of definition.

TD-1536 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Here's the dimensions I came up with for the radio, based on the proportions of everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-J Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Those dimensions look pretty spot on. It's funny y'know. I was using that pic as a guide whilst building my V3 pack, in the loungeroom, about 6 weeks ago when "Obsession" was aired. If I hadn't been working on that pack there's no way I would have recognised the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billhag Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 As Jason said you can use the rough measurements of the Boy Scout pack frame along with Mikes and maybe the length between Lewis Collins wrist and elbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billhag Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just about got the dial done, but need to find the correct font. This is just a sample gif file, but I have the original as Vector art I'll continue to refine. Mike I think the font they used was of the 'Eurostile' family of fonts, possibly 'Extended #2' see what you think Not too sure what they used for the dial numbers but I'll take a look at some of the font sites to see if I can come up with anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 AWESOME. I have Eurostile. It seems to work for the lettering on the dial and the main lettering on the radio, but I had to squeeze it down a little. The numbers are a different font, however, still looking...

WhiteCommandoV2 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Helvetica Compressed is what was in the pic you found and posted. Be sure to not use condensed – it is just horizontally reduced. Looks like you used Futura or Futura Condensed. Good work up! Nice find too. John Just about got the dial done, but need to find the correct font.

Rolf Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks fantastic!!! Mike . I hope to add it, on mine too asap. One day i hope for a full movie accurate kit, either from you or the sci-fire team. Just like the suits, we have a lot better ref pic to after now. I have just, assembled my # third MH/SB pack. It have been fun, and hard at the same time. Finding all the right parts, and get them together. Peace out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK7036 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks bro you just reminded me how I struggled to biuild my own pack. But was worth the trouble when you see the final product. I'm from Singapore and now I feel the urge to go to Hong Kong to find the radio. Looks fantastic!!! Mike . I hope to add it, on mine too asap.
