    Darth Vader ANH black bars red LED lightsaber replica

    I am building both versions for a client and was very excited to be able to make a V2 as it is likely to be the only one due to the rarity of the boards. It is the Roman MPP, slothfurnace boards, and WannaWanga grips. I also used Roy's asymmetrical grip guide, against the wishes of my OCD, and...

    What is currently the best Replica Han Solo DL-44 Blaster to buy?

    Hey y'all, dumb questions. On the Field Marshall kits from Blaster Factory / War Machine Paintball, the pictures for the Basic Denix unpainted does not have all the greeblies showing, but the painted version does. Do the basic unpainted kits come with all the parts or do you have to buy them...

    The Rise of Skywalker: Episode IX Graflex

    Here is the Korbanth/89 sabers I did for a client. I too used the dremel round bur for the weld marks and paint and I too am not 100% satisfied with the paint. I used the KR template. The flash washed it out some, so in person the scorches are darker. Has anyone tried a butane torch maybe?

    Star Trek: Picard

    I watched the series over a week. I was really liking it, right up to the last two episodes. There were red flag moments like Rios seeming to be fine with the fact that Agnes had murdered Maddox. But the whole thing went down the toilet for me when: 1) Soji flipped so quickly from a confused...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Post-release)

    I liked the film OK in the theatre. It helps if you don't think about it too much. But then I thought about it. Well I didn't like TLJ to begin with, but putting it in light of the whole trilogy, JJ and Johnson were just trying to do what happens oh-so-much lately "We're going to flip...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Post-release)

    I thought the Force dyad was from Clone Wars series, The brother and sister that were complete embodiments of the Light and Dark side of the Force. Am I recalling that correctly or have I lost my mind (as I suspect :D)?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Post-release)

    For me the film was OK. I was sad for a moment when I saw the Star Wars logo and space crawl realizing that this likely the last time I will see these elements in a theatre. Even if there are more films, they will not likely conform to what George made in 1977. The movie's pace was very fast...

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    Jaw dropping! For those who were wondering where the series was going.... here you are :lol:

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    Not sure if this was discussed but in episode 4, Mando was telling his story about his childhood rescue and he says "The Mandalorians took me in..." or something like that. I took it to mean that he is not ethnically a Mandalorian, like Pre Vizla, Sabine, etc. Is that assumption correct...

    The Mandalorian (TV series)

    I must agree with all the previous posts. Yup episode three is the best yet. Watch the background characters too. Lotsa cool easter eggs.

    New Elstree Studio documentary with discarded Graflex.

    OK, I have combed through the updates and I am not sure where I stand on the rivet size thing. BUT! In one of the discovery photos seems to indicate that the clamp is on the 9 o'clock position (looking down the "emitter" end) so this would line up pretty well with the "toe" photo, correct? So...

    New Elstree Studio documentary with discarded Graflex.

    I do see two rivets. combining an earlier theory that the rivets may have held a mechanism in place or provided extra support for the D Ring, then two sets would make sense. However, if the orientation Roy has shown of the rivets in relationship to the grips and d ring (which I think is right)...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (Pre-release)

    I....... Am speechless. December cannot come quickly enough. And I was looking most forward to Endgame this year. This changes that. I know there are naysayers, but don't ruin the emotion of the moment for those who ARE happy.:p
