VanOaksProps walks through a detailed, screen-accurate build of the Jedi Comlink seen in the hands of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi across two Star Wars prequel films.

I Turned a Broken Phone into a Working Fallout Pip-Boy

Creator Matt Daniels builds a fully functional Fallout Pip-Boy prop by hiding a broken smartphone inside a 3D-printed shell to drive the screen and dial lighting. A homemade vacuum forming rig is used to shape a curved plastic lens that recreates the classic CRT aesthetic. The build also covers weathering, painting, and the kind of practical movie-magic tricks used by real prop departments to sell the illusion. The result is a screen-accurate, wearable cosplay prop at a fraction of commercial replica prices.
