Re: Veektohr's Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Denix Lock Frame Insert)
I actually played with sketch-up this week to try and cook up a shroud. I've been craving some shroud action but everything out there is either the Vader shroud, (which everyone makes), the shorter heiland one, (which I have), and a bunch of cosplayer/gamer uber-shrouds on shapeways that don't jive with my OT aesthetic.
I decided that since I don't have a metal shop, I'll bend my rules a little and try some 3D printed parts. Seeing the grips and extension Anubis made for his minicam custom sold me. So I hit sketchup. It was harder than I thought. I've been working with graphics programs for 20 years, but getting 3D to work right, with the tolerances needed for 3D printing... let's just say it took me a week to make a cylinder with just enough detail to make me happy. We'll see how it comes out.
Speaking of my shroud envy-- what brand IS that one you posted above-- the short chubby one? I love it!
