Hi everybody, I appreciate it's been 7 months since I updated this thread but I'm pleased to show off the finished piece! Please enjoy, and thank you for all the positive feedback :)

It's been a while since I was able to put some time into this project. A couple of months ago I received the booster section back from the anodisers, who did a great job as always. Since then I've occasionally added some scuffs and scratches, experimenting with trying to get the black anodising...

I was able to get the grenade and emitter portions anodised (very kindly) through my work, and the quality is gorgeous! I'm sad at the prospect of weathering through it, although I did go at a test piece and the finish is very very tough. Sanding it back leaves a blue halo around the exposed...

I've been slowly chipping away at this project, as it's started to present some interesting and difficult machining operations. Back in April, shortly after my last update, I machined the Armitage Shanks sink knob. I took each cut slowly and carefully, but on the last cut the end mill grabbed...

Thank you! Actually a lot of people have asked me for the drawings, so I'm going to rework them and release them on my Facebook page soon :)

Hey everyone, I've been inactive on here for a long time! I'd like to share this Obi-Wan saber I've been working on recently. It's all manually machined from aluminium and brass, the Graflex clamp is from The Saber Armory. The drawings are taken from my 3D print model which I modelled up last...

Hey everyone, thanks for your support. Joberg and Birdie, don't worry! I've finished updating the design and have uploaded it this evening on the usual websites here: Etsy Cassian Andor MW-20 Bryar Blaster STL andor - Etsy UK CGTrader https://tinyurl.com/MW20CGTrader Cults3D...

Well, I quickly found out that this is just a reused prop from TROS and the good people of The RPF had identified the base camera as being a Bell & Howell Sportster IV. My excitement was short lived! Anyway, I'll keep this thread open as I'm going to be making 3D printable files :)

My day job is making large format analogue cameras- as a result I spend a lot of time around real photography enthusiasts. I started to design a file of the macro binoculars seen on Aldhani in the latest episode of Andor before I realised I was probably looking at a found part. A quick bit of...

I designed it to be printed upright, so that the central axle is as concentric as possible. If you wanted to print it sideways, the ends of the axle have spot-drills in place so that you can drill out your print and fit a metal or plastic rod instead. I think there are a couple of areas which...

Hey everyone! I’ve released my Cassian Andor blaster pistol file, which is currently free to download on Cults3D and CGTrader. The blaster has been designed with FDM printing in mind, so lots of surfaces that can be printed flat against the bed- the design also includes a rotating magazine and...

Hey everyone, Thanks for all your discussion and screen grabs, it's enabled me to start on a 3D file of the blaster. If you'd like to follow the progress and get hold of the files (hopefully by this weekend!) give us a follow on Facebook (@archiveandfuture) where we update more regularly. -Will

No, I'm planning to have mine slide into place and then secure it with a pin or grub screw, since I don't want any error in alignment that might happen with a threaded barrel. Today we continued with the two Denix builds. Jem had already made headway with reshaping his, so I followed suit on...

My friend Jem (Pippin96) and I have decided to build up a pair of Denix blasters, so we're adding an umpteenth Denix thread to the RPF here- I doubt we'll add anything that hasn't been done before, but it's always enjoyable to share a project. I started with the disassembly, which necessitated...

My studio has been so busy lately with casting, machining and 3D printing that I haven't had much time to update the build thread of this project. Let me update you all on the progress of the Lunar Module: I've been slowly chipping away on all the rivet detailing, as well as cleanup. Here you...
