Kurtyboy's project updates: 24 July - More blasters

Re: Working on some more props: 19 Dec - C3P0 wires and some Kobolds

Working on C3P0's belly and back wires. I'm using ribbed rubber mat onto which I've glued a zipper stitched to some jeans fabric. I'm basing my wires layout on a reference photo from the Tunisia shoot which was the clearest image I could find of the ANH wires. For the back I'm using screenshots from the Jawa droid sale scene.

For the palm details I found some flat squared gold studs. The large squares will be cut from aluminium then gold vacuum metalized.

I KNEW you would build the saber with the Kobold at one time did it myself a few years ago...simply HAD TO, since I love the more obscure props!

Wasn't it part of the Star Wars Holidays Special? ... I never quite really watched that entire show closely :unsure

I don't think so...

What the hell is that???

I know what it's MADE of, but what is it supposed to represent?

I would consider myself in the college level of OT SW props knowledge.

Kurtyboy and Markus have a couple of doctorates, a masters degree or 2... And like 10 years in their field... Maybe knighted by the queen of England?

Seriously though, what the hell is that?

Cannot see to clearly, but is this without grips and no button?
 
Re: Working on some more props: 19 Dec - C3P0 wires and some Kobolds

It's hanging on Vader's belt - no grips. In Prowse's hand you can see there is no button.

I've never even heard of that lightsaber before. I thought I'd seen everything! That's an odd one.
 
Re: Working on some more props: 19 Dec - C3P0 wires and some Kobolds

How is it hanging on Vader's belt in above picture? Seems like they used the Kobold clip in it's original position ... perhaps just added a D-ring?

Barrels and front sight are done on the new Endor blaster but I can't finish it until I get some parts from Matsuo (hurry up. Matt!).

Also started working on IG88's blaster.

Padded the C3P0 mannequin out a bit, mainly the areas that are visible between the coverings.

Re: Working on some more props: 19 Dec - C3P0 wires and some Kobolds

is this where they got the idea of the Kobold D-ring set-up for Luke's Graflex? There's definitely one on this stunt, and no glass eye as far as "eye" can tell.....Heh...heh...

Also, killer work on 3PO and that rifle ;)
