Hello. I have for sale, this Casio LC-785 calculator, as used to create the internal reveal board in the Luke ROTJ V1 "Hero" prop. It comes with original manual and wallet. In working condition with batteries installed. I opened to check for correct circuit board. Still has protective...

*little bump* A,B and C still available.

**UPDATE** Hello there. I’ve spent some time today catching up on messages, so figured I’d take this opportunity to send out an update to all those on my mailing list. I figured I'd post it here too for anyone following the interest thread. Apologies for the radio silence this past couple of...

Awesome project Kevin! I started making up some stencils for a production version at one stage but never had the chance to finish them. To fill in the blanks, I took the current day references and used "Minimum" filter in PS (Or is it "Maximum"?!?) to expand the remaining paint to match the...

*little bump* A,B and C still available. I was asked if I could drill and install a DRing on to the one that sold (D): Happy to do this for the others on request (y)

Hi Mo! So this time around, the emitters will be machined separately. To allow for using the body as either V2 or V3 (The thumb screw hole will be added by myself). It just works out more cost effective that way and will hopefully help to keep the price down. So for now, the motorised Obi stunt...

Hello there! Just a very quick end-of-month update... It’s been a particularly busy time this month! As I mentioned previously, this month I needed to allocate some time towards finishing February's orders, which had been on hold until the new rails arrived. This took a little longer than...

Handwheel "D" is sold. A, B and C still available.

Jason! So sorry. I wasn't notified about this comment, and haven't been keeping a close enough eye on the post. In answer to your question, externally the replica in the kit is almost identical. There are a few small tells internally though. Also, the fit between My replica booster and a...

Hi Kevin! Thanks so much! Wow! You got that put together fast! In answer to your question, the rails are the 2.4mm ABS Plastruct T and L (T03 and A03). These are technically the "vintage" rails as they're likely the ones used on the original prop and haven't changed. They are indeed very...

Hello there. Just putting it out there that I managed to get hold of some early Armitage Shanks Starlite handwheels a couple of weeks ago. They’re in various conditions ranging from very good (A), to pretty beat up (D). Here is a description of each one: Handwheel A is in very good condition...

Sorry for the delayed response to this. VERY busy day yesterday! I did get a chance to fill in those gaps with some additional glue though just to demonstrate what I'm talking about: This is by no means a certainty. I am of the view that it's the more likely explanation though.

There is definitely a light "substance" that can be seen in the gap. Is it a wooden filler though? Or is it the adhesive that was used? Would they have gone to the trouble of sanding two strips of wood down to 0.8mm X 1.6mm? Having put the above example together, I can say that it wasn't...

**UPDATE** Hello everyone. Just a very brief update if it’s ok... Just to confirm that the new rails for the V1 Heroes arrived yesterday via FedEx! The correct size this time! I now have everything needed to get the last remaining orders from February out to everyone, as well as all orders...

Originally, I was doing this by hand/eye, but I have actually made up a stencil now for consistency and to save time. I can include this with DIY kits going forward. Not a problem. (y) And if anyone wanted one for earlier DIY kits, please just get in touch, and I can get one to you. As I've...
