Will you be doing a grip guide as well?
Yeah, perhaps I will!

Ah! The ANH shroud! That’s what I’ve been waiting for! Do you think it will fit a Heiland flash, as well? (Mine is waiting patiently.)
I have what may be a naive/dumb question. I’m thinking about building one of these Darth Vader sabers myself soon, but why all this interest in stand-alone shrouds? I’ve not yet shopped for such parts, so I’m trying to understand why some people already have real flash “tubes” but still need shrouds? Are these two items not always found together as a set? Were the same tubes more commonly used elsewhere, but without the very specific types of shrouds used in the movie props? I’m asking due to the last few pages of shroud talk, so I guess that applies to the hero DV sabers used in ANH and ESB. Thanks.
I tried grinding down that inner step on the steel shroud as suggested by PoopaPapaPalps. Realized I wasn't making headway when I saw that the side screws prevented it from dropping any further to align with the thumb screw indent. Big bummer.
If the shroud touches the side screws it's in its proper position. That's the way it's supposed to be.
What a beauty. Everyone but the Pope had a hand in making that happen.Latest steel shroud on my working Parks MPP; with Roy wires, d-ring, diamond knurl thumb dial, bubblecard; Todd's Costumes t-track; Parks' clamp sleeve/cup; Roman clamp and endcap; and Slothfurnace Exactra card.
As good as the real deal in my book.

A bit late, but thought I'd share! I bought some of Roy's new and improved bubble strips, and I am very very impressed! They are nearly indistinguishable from real bubble strips. The bubble strip on the right in the first photo is an original, and Roy's is on the left. The color from aging is really the biggest difference, and you would only really be able to tell in a side by side comparison like this.
Anyone looking for something very accurate and beautiful need look no further as far as I'm concerned!

(Yes, this flash needs everything. The shroud and D-ring are the first conversion parts for it.)
Black "Wrinkle Paint"What paint is good for the aluminum shroud?
