Jumbo Shrimp project finally gets green light! (A monster 58 build)

[Syph007]

Thanks to M0rkoni posting the little GIANT 58 build, it got me re-excited about building the biggest 58mm mod possible. 

So... I went and took inventory of what parts I do have, and I want to figure out what parts I need, then a way to fit them all in and then put the beast together.

Some interesting thoughts came up when I thought about this though. I want one of each version of each type of tool.  But... take the scissors for example.  I have a riveted set, a set with a screw and then I think, but there is a brass riveted version and a steel riveted version. Those are different production version so do I include those too?  I think yes since my goal is big and one of each version, but some other tools are more of a gray area and I'll explain as I go along.

Here's a shot of the tools I have so far.



And some close ups.





For scale tools
- Tweezers
- Toothpick
- Retractable Pen
- White LED
- Red LED

For USB
- Older fat style
- Newer slim style

I know there are different memory sizes, but I dont think there is a real value to adding one of each memory size, since the look of each is the same except the numbers.

Scissors
- Old screw type
- Steel rivet type
- Brass rivet type

Files
- Very old style
- non SD tipped
- SD tipped

Cap lifter drivers
- flat driver no wire bender
- flat driver with wire bender
- phillips version

The rest of tools
- standard blade
- rescue style blade
- cut an picker blade
- divot tool
- cuticle tool
- ruler with SD driver
- SD driver only (same as ruler with no markings)

What I know I dont have is
- Retractable stylus scale tool ( I think those are easy enough to find)
- Laser pointer scale tool
- Scale whistle

Does anyone know where to buy a laser pointer 58, or scale whistle? 

Can anybody think of other tools and/or versions I'm missing?

I know fitting some of the scale tools into inner layers will be necessary, but for me an ok compromise as it's the only way to have the maxium number of tools.  I will not include any tools that were not originally released on a 58, no modded tools etc, but I will have to make custom inner liners to house tweezers etc.

So... lets see how this turns out shall we?

I'm glad to hear that my mod inspiring you to start with this project. 
As I understand my "little GIANT" will get a much, much...did I say much bigger brother. Jumbo Shrimp will be one of a kind and I'm looking forward to see the progress.

Regarding flash drives...you could incorporate in the Jumbo Shrimp body an old flash housing for fat 512MB drive from your picture but instead that fat one you should go with two different types (thumbprint and regular) of slim ones. How that sounds to you?

OH right i forgot there was a version with fingerprint scanner.  Now I need that too.

Thanks for the ebay links, looks like I have some shopping to get done.

If you can't find a Signature Laser reasonable Syph, I have an extra NIB one I could send you, I have a few cat exercisers already.

I saw a disturbing pic of what looked like a torx driver/opener in another thread...  facepalm:

Oh wait there was one with a torx driver wasnt there.  It was a special run for a company, now I cant remember which though.

Yes that old file from my brief research on the subject was only on classics for a couple of years (Im sure jazzbass will know for sure ) so it was actually really tough to find one in good shape.  I paid more than I wanted to, but I had to have it.

This thread makes me hungry.

Found it on SAAMs new page.

http://victorinox.metodi.me/monster58.php

It was a limited run for NOKIA.

Seems slim I'll ever score this, torx cap lifter version.





Whoa... never knew there was a bluetooth remote too.



Maybe trying to fit in all scale tools is a bit ambitious....

That's a new one for me too. What model did it come on?

[Syph007]

Its on the Presentation Master ( was called presentation Pro in prototype ).

Its got the bluetooth controls, laser pointer and the fingerprint usb.

I looked on ebay and a presentation master sold fro $111.  I doubt I'll be able to get my hands on one...

That torx T6 would be a sweet find.  Thats the torx size all my alox mods use too...
