Hey folks,

If you're actually interested in a pyro casting with a production pedigree, Frank has posted an interest thread in the Junkyard:

http://www.therpf.com/f13/pyro-xwing-91170/

This is a rare opportunity, and it sounds like it might not happen at all, so please let Frank know if you're interested.

Eh, to rain on the parade, I'm not expecting anyone who owns a good set of pyro castings to drop them in rubber any time soon. It would have happened by now. Who really wants to dent the exclusivity of their piece, right?

The PYRO xwing thread on JY has a pic of the guns with measures for BRASS.

Two years later... time to start working on it!

Started cleaning up the fuselage and a coat of primer. The casting is not great, but not too bad either. A few bubbles and some seam lines to clean up. The details in the cockpit are kind of a mess but the area behind where the R2 goes is okay.

I remember seeing a post once with some information on the correct diameter and lengths of brass tubing to use for the laser cannons... but I can't seem to find it. Can any of you point me in the right direction?

I have found a source for the heat sinks.

Thanks!
