| This is my custom field switchboard. This is a real item that was used by the Army in WWII. I have recreated this one as accurately as possible, and I really went crazy on the detail. The carrying strap and the harness to the headset/microphone are functional, as well as the side carrying handles. The wires can also be unplugged and repositioned. I wish I could have made the legs and the doors fold up, but that would have made it very fragile. Also, sense I would be using it in the deployed position mainly, I figured that would be a very unused option. Also, the pic probably doesn't show it well, but there's a pad of paper with tiny notes written in pencil on it. The lower right pic is group of photos showing a real switchboard that I saw on ebay. |
