Well, I'm done with my stunt trap and holster. I used different sources to build my trap: Venkman 71, SG1Stargate and Hprops for the labels, along with references from fellow members who were a great help and were kind enough to provide me ref pics of their builds. Most of the measurements I got from Venkman's 71 Project Plans. In a nutshell, I took most of his plans and basically drew themin Illustrator in real size, used them as templates and printed them in cardboard. Once the cutting was done, I traced everything in MDF and/or styrene and build everything up.
I have all the templates in one PDF file, including plans for the holster. This community has supplied endless info to me, and I'd just like to give something back. Although, as mentioned earlier, I can't take credit for all of these. That belongs to Sean, SG1Stargate and HProps, and a few friends from the board who provided awesome ref pics. What I can offer is just the templates based on Sean's plans, so all you have to to do is print them in and 8.5x11 standard paper/cardboard and trace them over whatever you want to make your trap of.
Would there be any interest in this? If so, I could upload the plans to my site and provide the link for downloading the templates. The plans will of course give credit to those responsible in the first place.
Please also keep in mind that I modified some stuff because I intended to build a stunt trap in the first place. If you want to build a trap with working doors, you will need to make the necessary adjustments, but at least you have something to help you out with the whole process. Templates do not include knobs nor the "ears" that go at both sides of the front panel indicator. My knobs and ears were supplied by Nick-a-tron, and I'd highly recommend for you guys to do the same. His knobs and ears are top notch.
I'm almost done with version 1.0 of the templates. So if there's any interest, I can post a link when I'm done with this first revision. If so I'd also appreciate some feedback if you notice a wrong measure or anything that I might just missed in the process.
Here are some pics of how my trap and holster came out:
Rivets were just for position only:
