SandtrooperScout Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I'm looking for other options for the greeblies for my SC TD. I know the fan made ones are too big, and I found out today the furniture bumpers are also too big for the space on the TD. What other options are there?
SandtrooperScout Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks for the link, I was wondering where to find those. However, I believe I saw in one of the other threads on here that these greeblies are also too big for the SC TD....?
Griffin-X Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Okay...cool. The greeblie is correct but the size of the SC TD gap is too small. Most folks are using an ABS shim, Velcro, etc and that seems to work well. I believe SC is recasting the TD to be a bit more accurate in size.
4505Marcel Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Yeah just shim the greeblies to lift them over the slot untill you can get a more accurate TD box mate
lonewolf Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 The best is Don Jarrs version, not from an original model kit part but very neat and well made. It fits the SC TD with a bit of tinkering.

StudioCreations Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 We are working on a new TD mold and hope to have it ready for the fans by end of May, if not sooner.
StudioCreations Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 First test pulls of the new Thermal Det box. We 'rush cut' the first box (top) and cut the 'pipe tunnels' a bit shallow, but the second one that we cut (bottom), we did a better job. For those that want to measure and make sure their new greeblies will fit, the rectangular test-greeblie is 25mm tall and 60mm wide. For comparison, below is that infamous Bluray image ...

Looks good Jeff, very nice detail and size.
lonewolf Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 Nice sculpt on the TD Jeff, the original doesn't really have well defined lines, yours is very close, best version I have seen.
StudioCreations Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Guys, thanks for the kind words about the new Thermal Det Box. SandtrooperScout, if you want to send me back your old thermal det, i'll swap you even for one of these new ones.
ozarkscout Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Guys, thanks for the kind words about the new Thermal Det Box. Let me add my kudos on this... just got my new one from Jeff yesterday and it looks fantastic... thank you sir! Top = Old SC with painted vinyl non-skid furniture feet greeblies Bottom = New SC with DJ greeblies
Nosamp Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a question regarding this. Post #11 shows the round greeblie on the left and the squarer one on the right, post #15 shows the opposite? I have been searching online and have found a fair few pics of each, I was going to go with the Bluray pic but I know images get flipped so I just wanted to check before I started glueing bits as to the right way? Thanks
Chef Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 The rectangular bit should sit on the left as you look at the Det, Pete. 1
Nosamp Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Cheers Rob, so the bluray pic has been flipped or is it on upside down? Glad I asked now, very glad infact. Good here innit? Thanks again mate
Chef Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 well.... having been through this discussion, we think the Blu-Ray Det is on upside down. How this affects the orientation of the greeblie on the Det is still up for discussion though. There are screen grabs and references that suggest it could be either.
Nosamp Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Ah, well I don't want to restart what I imagine was a 'good' debate. I will treat it that the Det was on upside down and work accordingly. (I use E6000 so worse case scenario I will have to whip it off and rotate it.) Thanks again mate.
