Received mine in the mail today. Got a custom built blaster built by THD9791. He built it off of solid metal P38 model and vintage scope. Really fun price and will look great in my ever growing blaster collection.

Also in the box, but maybe not intended to be.... Sketches of two tables drinking coffee, a happy bath mat, and a wacky towel. Which wasn't originally on my list, but I'm so excited I got.

Thanks!

I’ve received my gift today. Had to open it!

I got quite the selection! Very happy! Thanks Dave/Shaunsheep :)

We got each other this year, and as he seems super busy with shifts (and using up all of his wrapping paper) I thought I’d post what I sent him, as I’m quite proud of it:

1:1 Luke’s ROTJ lightsaber turned in Oak (never again) on my little desktop hammer drill lathe.

Quite proud of it as it’s only the second thing I’ve ever turned!

Sent a Star Wars book and pop figure with it too.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas/holidays in spite of everything going on in the world!
Thanks mate glad you like all the stuff, still trying to get the saber off my son to design a stand for it!
 
Mark me down as shipped!

Unfortunately, due to a unreliable vendor it wasn't quite as complete as I'd hoped. I'll try and ship out the last piece once it eventually arrives. I just wanted to make sure and make the deadline.

Alrighty! Long overdue, here's pics of my gift!

As many know, I'm not a big superhero guy. Although when I was a kid I was definitely all about DC. The comics I had as a kid were my dad's from the 60's, mostly Superman and a bit of Batman. My favourite superhero movies have always been the Batman ones, particularly the ones with the Joker.

So imagine my surprise when This comes in the mail!

I *believe* this is the sonar cowl from Batman Forever? I went to see it with my friend when it came out as a teenager. :)

WAY above the $20 expectation! But that's not all! I also got this Batman clip wallet and a cool deck of Star Wars TFA playing cards (haters gonnna hate, I love the ST).

Sadly my kids and I all have big heads so there's no way this cowl is getting on any of us without a full tub of lube! :lol:

But fear not, I'll pick up a smaller styrofoam head to display it. One question, what product should I use to make the cowl more shiny and black? Some type of wax?

Being the organizer I know who my Santa is, so a HUGE thank you to TJackFx ! Merry Christmas all!

I'm so happy you like it!!! I used the weathering on the real Hoth Han Solo blaster and some mandalorian pieces as inspiration.

You're right - my dad's a cartoonist and ....he usually does stuff like this. I usually do stuff like this when I'm bored, but these are his doodles not mine. redbutton is now RPF famous

Happy Holidays, and as always... This is the Way
