Anakin's Japor Snippet
As seen in Star Wars Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
First off I bought a Gillette Excel Womans Razor and cast it in resin. I then drilled the proper holes, touched it up, and sanded a bit so it looked nice. There are a few air bubbles
in the casting which at first I was going to fill in. Then I thought that
I would leave them be to give the unit that worn in / used look. |

I then started
to gather the needed parts needed to make this recreation. Some needed to be modified a bit to fit properly on the unit. |

| For the tri-wing knobs I took X2 tri-wing beads and filed them down so that they were smooth on both sides. I then placed a small round bead inside the hole with a drop of super glue to fill in it. Then I sanded them smooth. | ![]() |
I then glued
the the tri-wing knobs onto the body of the Comlink. |

I glued on all parts that are the same color as the unit itself. I then again washed the unit in soap and water to prepair it for priming and painting. |

The painted
body of the Jedi Comlink. I used Plasti-Kote Vehicle Paint VP-60, Ice Blue Metallic. Which matches the color of the Qui-Gon Jinn Comlink shown in the Episode 1 Visual Dictionary. |

I then started to add on the detail pieces. Here is the attanna... |

...and the
rest of the upper pieces of the Jedi Comlink. Then I added the lower pieces
of the Jedi Commlink to finish it up. |

Qui-Gon Jinn's Comlink utilizes solder
luggs which are manufactured by Seastrom. These are next to impossable to acquire
unless you
special order and purchase a case from Seastrom. I have been trying
to acquire X3 of these for my Jedi Comlink for some time but to
no avail. So like I said at the beginning, it seems to me that a Jedi constructs his
or her own Jedi Comlink.
Here is my
finished recreation of the Jedi Comlink!
