Oggie, your visor turned out great! I have the all plastic version of the droidboy visor kit. Kinda wish I would have forked over the extra cash and got the metal one!! I can always build another one!! =)
Here's an interesting idea, Try to alter a couple of Banana Clips to fit your face and tweak accordingly, That's basically what the First Season VISOR was, a Banana Clip remanufactured to fit LeVar Burton's face.
This is a really cool prop, and a very well done build up. I love that motivated fans make kits like these for the rest of us to enjoy :D Did you get it signed?
I read in a.Starlog book in the 90's that the Geordi V.I.S.O.R. was modeled after a popular style hair clip girls wore in the early 1980's. The hair clip opened up and once fastened would hold a girls hair in place. By itself the clip looked almost like the V.I.S.O.R.. Nice model.
@@zacharyjochumsen9677 also, in the movie Generations, it was easy for the Klingons to use Geordi's visor as a spy camera in order to destroy the Enterprise D. So, afterwards Star Fleet had him get optical implants to replace the visor so things like that can not happen again. But I can also see why Lever Burton hated that prop. He said it gave him limited vision on the set , and after a few hours it was very uncomfortable to wear.
Jim Carmody yeah it is wearable just wouldn't be comfortable to do so for a long period. It's a decent replica although I agree it could use more vertical brass rods. Thanks for watching
I believe that here are a couple of different versions. This particular one is the more expensive kit running $100.00. I think he makes one in which the frame is plastic instead of metal which runs less $$ but you really need to contact him to find out. The contact info is again droidboy@hotmail.com Thanks for watching
no...if you look closely the visor body is chrome/silver and the rods are gold/brass. Unfortunately this model isn't exact....it could use more rods for sure.
The spacing on the rods isn't even close to the actual prop. There also seems to be some sort of mesh that goes behind them. vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/1/15/VISOR%2C_2365-2371.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130116023250&path-prefix=en This obviously isn't the fault of Interstellar Modeler, but as far as the kit is concerned, I'm not impressed. It looks like because of the spacing slots already there you might not even be able to fit more in, in such as way that would make it match after all On a detailed note, I personally prefer the alternating up-and-down-rods-style visor, but that's just me. Also, I seem to recall a silver coloured one, it might be cool to have all three versions :P
+OmikronWeapon The Spacing was probably altered in case it were to be used for Cosplay, LeVar Burton lost 90% of his vision when he wore the prop. And you are right about the All Silver version of the VISOR, that appeared in a flashback scenario in the Episode "Identity Crisis" when Geordi was an Ensign on the U.S.S. Victory, also where the circle shapes normally are there were silver rectangles instead.

I'm thinking on building one with cardboard, tooth pics and a bit of paint.
That's awesome. Always wanted a Geordi visor as a kid.
Thanks!
I always thought it was a banana clip for your hair that they spray painted and turned sideways LOL 😂
I think it was at the beginning. Lol
Looks great!! Amazing job
Thank you!!

Hey thanks my friend! I'm happy I chose this one. Send me a pic of your plastic version if you get a chance.

Watching the series for the first time, and I have NOT been able to get over how it is just a banana clip spray painted with stuff glued to it.
That looks great! Nicely done.
You'll have to get a comm badge to go with it, nice build
Needs more metal rods.
Sadly the spacing on the rods is off and is quite noticeable.
@@butchneville5768 yes its not an accurate piece

Thanks for watching....and no I haven't had it signed yet but will hopefully get it done this year.

well done!!!
You should have shown us what it looks like on.
I would like to review a prop like this
I'am guessing brass is a heavy metal right. Ok for display but not to wear. The real one used on the set would have been pretty light.

Cool
thanks
About how much is the kit?
