Hi guys, great new forum for the HIC community. Things have sure come along way for the cabonite block since I first got sucked into this awesome prop a few years ago. I just have far too many photo's to repost them all here so I have my photo page links to my past builds to give someone interested in building one at least one way to go about doing it.

I have built and cast the parts for panels and greeblees, I will post my for sale links in the Cargo hold when my new member status is over and that becomes available to me. If you have any question feel free to ask. Good luck with your builds!

I agree! I couldn't have finished mine w/o the help of folks like Darth Chromer (

)

I made mine as a desk for my office - was privileged to share it through the 501st room at C6

Here are some of my WIP

Amazing! I'm certainly getting inspired to try my hand at this soon. Would you mind sharing how much it cost and how long it took? Thanks!

Sorry for delay in answering...if your question was meant for me in addition to D.C....

Budget initially was $1,000
Actual cost of materials (including glass & cast acrylic for desk use) was $2,000
Build time right at eight (8) months
Having this in my office...priceless

Thire, great to see the desk done. Great job on that, it looks awesome. I would definitely look forward to a desk job if that were my desk

Ghent, that particular block I did with wood, fiberglass, automotive paint and my panels, greeblees and electronics kit I make, we were probably in the neighborhood of $2000 materials. Now factor in well over 80 hours of labor time and you get the picture. Don't be discouraged by my cost. There are ways to cut it down and keep it in your budget. It is truly one of those props that you will have a hard time not staring at for hours and hours with a big grin on your face
