Legboard, Languatron & Radiatron: revision
Sorry for the delay but I had some PC trouble.
Dear fellow warriors, unfortunately the same flegercarb that happened to the Solinite charges happened to the Legboard, Languatron and the Radiatron: Somehow the proportions of the models were messed up during the *.svg export. The LEDs came out twice as big and the dimensions of the devices are not correct. So I ask you not to download or even build the previous versions but the revisions below (trust me, you won't be happy with the first files, so I removed what I could from the previous posts). I have checked everything again and hope that this mishap does not happen again.
However there is one BIG plus which compensates for all the trouble: The revision gave me the opportunity to accurize the shape and colour and to prepare all parts for the variants seen in the show. So you may build two versions of the Languatron and four versions of the Radiatron. The layout was optimised, too, so that you save paper and ink.
And here is some info on the devices:
The Languatron is used as a portable translator and premiers in the pilot episode when Apollo is brought before Lotay, Queen of the Ovions. The Computron can be seen in the pilot, too, when Apollo tries to cheer up Boxey on the Rising Star and when Starbuck speaks with Cassie in the shuttle. Funny note: Dirk Benedict presses the switch multiple times to make the lights flash to pretend that the device works on its own.
The Radiatron comes with more greeblies. If you build it without the greeblies you get the Medical Scanner used by Dr Salik in "Fire In Space" when he checks Cr Adama's vital conditions after the Cylon Raider has crashed into the bridge. Virtually identical are the Communicator and the Voice Recorder used by Starbuck and Apollo in "Experiment in Terra". Oh yes, and there is a white "Ship of Lights" version. Last but not least there is the Colonial Transponder transmitter used by Starbuck and Apollo on their Cylon Raider in "The Hand of God". The LEDs in all Radiatrons are hidden inside the main board, so they are not included in the plans any longer. If you want to emulate the blinking scheme take a look at the attached *.gif file.
You see that this device is very versatile and highly adaptive, similar to the Tricorder in Star Trek. However, how the operator understands its readings remains a mystery. It just flashes, the display always shows the same image. Maybe it communicates telepathically...
