So I have been slacking for a bit on this project, but for good reason I had some goodies come in the mail so I was momentarily distracted...I will add pics of those figures in my collection post.
So I have the main Teletraan 1 display completed and working.
In my last post I had finished assembling the piece, with some errors that needed to be corrected
Oh well for my first scratch build I learned a lot and am quite pleased with it.
So I have painted the whole thing to match the walls and floor, I'll spare you the other pics of my many mishaps with painting it...had to strip the whole thing and do it over...meh. But here it is with the LEDs fitted to the front work panel.
After that I attached the screen and put some Lego "lens covers" over the LEDs.

As for the inside....here are the gory details. I decided to use 2 boards and run them off a bus for power; the bus is not in there because it will ultimately be external. 1 board for the LEDs and fan. 1 board for the screen. The screen takes up sooo much of the actual power; processing and electrical. So having them all connected would make the light and screen performance look jerky, the addition of the fan would be over the current limit I want to push through the boards. It is all connected via a bread board to make it temporary since I may change things and I would like to ability to re-purpose the boards if I need/want to.

After getting the electronics working I applied the stickers from the Reprolabels iGear ACCC set.
Now for some obligatory shots with the figures. Everything is still test fit here but is pretty much in it's permanent place...
Next up for the diorama will be some sideboard workstations for Teletraan 1 and I want to re-create the medical bed but with a working light and instead of 1 articulated tool arm I am going to do several. Waiting on some ball joints to come in to see how that will work out.
I am very suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I totally trust a dog that doesn't like a person...
