Sorry for the misunderstanding. Either way, it looks great, but what difference--if any--would the embossed grooves have? Concerning the length of the grooves (I realized they should actually be called slots (which cover the clamp grooves)): I hate to refer to a picture with just simple...

Make the pictured version available! I'm not sure how the engraved version differs from cutouts, but the cutouts in the pictures look dead on to the movie prop, plus the finish is already brushed enough, IMO. Only the grooves need to be a tad closer to the square cutouts...

Buyers that are willing to pay a high markup on the Korbanth Graflex 2.0 are probably assuming they are both functional as a flashgun and of the hardware quality as the originals. This may be why the Parks replicas are consistently selling for higher amounts, because they are most identical to...

I know this is not an issue for those going the Graflex 2.0 route, but for those with vintage and replica pieces with the word Graflex on the clamp, having the adhesive sleeve is the only screen-accurate method as determined in the TFA Graflex Research thread. So is anyone here planning to make...

I just reviewed this scene, and if you look closely, you'll see that the bulb ring tilted to the left of the screen when Obi-Wan first takes it out of his chest, and it subsequently remains in this position even when Luke is holding it with gravity pulling in the opposite direction: Now you...

Hi and welcome. I wrestled with this question just recently, and I decided the 9 o'clock position (emitter view with ring tabs at 12) is overwhelmingly definitive for this saber. Mainly, this is because the Anakin ROTS has the control at this same position, but also that it appears in ANH...

Re: That's a Graflex, right (Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)? I don't think anyone on this board can know this for a fact. Yet, even if this is true, the path of reasoning you're insinuating is rather silly. Consider it: you've got the chest shot which has the prop that is most probably the...

I don't know why you guys are going out of your way to copy exactly how much from the edges the grips reach. Multiple screen shots have shown that the lengths vary from hilt to hilt, which at least makes it plausible that they were all cut to approximations without any intention of cutting them...

Re: That's a Graflex, right (Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)? If all the FX clamps have the clamp grooves distanced from the square holes as pictured here, then it proves that the film prop doesn't use an FX clamp. The spacing of this area on the clamp in the left picture as well as the one in...

Glue undoubtedly gets the job done. However, I personally prefer a Graflex that has a snug rivet where the ring does not swing freely under its own weight at all, but can still be manually moved by hand. This way, it works as a lightsaber replica and also as an adjustable ring in case you ever...

Re: ANH Graflex Legacy WIP Oh, and beautiful pictures! I see you completely went with the ANH setup, so I presume you prefer that over the ESB. I feel more or less the same, except I prefer to maintain as much continuity as possible to the ROTS version. Although this saber may have originally...

Re: ANH Graflex Legacy WIP I felt the same dilemma long ago when I didn't even have a Graflex in possession. When I consulted the members here at the time, I had gotten one response that I feel is fully logical and consolatory at the same time. The person pointed out that these units--albeit...

Hey, guys. A little while ago, I had acquired a 3-cell which has one of the two exposed sets of pins being square based. Because the square pins were identified in that education thread distinguishing between replicas and originals, I had immediately assumed that they were replicas that...

Re: That's a Graflex, right (Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)? The contrast looks identical to the screen prop! The darker finish shown during the big closeup in TFA made it look like stainless steel or some kind of corrosion-resistant plating other than chrome. I thought for sure that they...

Re: Vader's MPP shroud Awesome! Thanks! I was afraid I'd have to pry something apart forcefully like how the rivots have to be drilled out (permanently) in order to remove the name badge. I know the screws are probably not torqued in too hard anyway, but did you ever encounter any problems...
