Not sure (ripped the label off). I got them from Home Depot in the fastener aisle. I used the thickest available.

Heh, I bought that amp too and also don't know how it should be wired to bypass of work with the on board amp. The board is a bit weird with how it handles pad designation at least to a novice like me. I ended up scraping the idea after I decided to build the saber from scratch but would like to...

Thanks for the compliments. I just score with a razor blade (I use a nicer box cutter) and then bend at the seams till they split. I slowly work the pieces back and forth till they give. For straight lines I might speed things up with some scissors and I use pliers where I can to keep things...

All the shiney stuff is just aluminum sheet metal and white stuff is sintra. The two mouth pieces are both scratch built using layered aluminum sheet with some sintra and apoxie sculpt (needs more scultp). Face pattern is more aluminum sheet layered over what used to be the chromed part of BS...

Punny. Haven't dedicated a lot of time to it since post. Some progress has been made though. Dont mind the seams, they will disappear and its temporarily assembled with tape so some parts aren't aligned properly.

Yup 150 and pressure worked perfectly for me. Didn't need anything other than primer after that (save for the gaps). Oh and teaser...

Sands pefectly fine with an orbital sander.

Nice, the paint on the side emitters looks especially good.

Sweet, thanks for post. Been wanting a straight on pic of the side/profile. Would you mind stating the overall width from side emitter tip to tip? I've already made mine but just wanted to see how close I am.

Well the cheeks per a book I got (forget name) says that the cheek holes are for the speakers that project his voice. Following that logic I went with speaker fabric since the same fabric is used on the cheeks and eyes.Not sure what your local one will have but I got some at Joann's and it...

Yeah, I'd be really disappointed if I were him. The wavy uneven spacing and depth of the forehead area is really sloppy. Great finish on metalized parts and I prefer the sharper edges overall over the pics from site but yeesh. Actually I was just going off screen grabs I saw before... these...

You seem to be correct. I just rewatched the scene and the helmet is actually mirrored when the notch appears in the 3/4 shot, then it isn't on the forward shot. Silliness.

I superglued (loctite) and then plastic welded mine. I've been manhandling it and even hit it with an orbital sander and have not had a single seam split.

I'm not talking about the CG scenes, and I'm speaking more on the proportions and position of components vs damage/wear and finish. The mouth plates for one are all over the place from frame to frame in the same scenes. I'm sure those aren't CG, most anyway... The scene where he's speaking to...
