Lol! I like it!
So, not knowing much about the original hero prop, was the wind vane simply painted a copper colour? And will the kit include pre-painted parts (ie the black in between the grenade rings) or will all that be left to the buyer like the V2 kits?

Hey Dan,
So cool this is finally happening! I'm really looking forward to the result and can't wait to hold one in my hands and build another great replica saber of yours!
And thanks for mentioning me. It has been fun to help optimizing your design.
I have come up with a name for my special 3D reverse engineering skill, which is getting more and more known in our community:
I call it the IDO3PIM method: Iterative Design Optimization by 3D Perspective Image Matching. [emoji1]
Let me know if I can share an example image of that research here.

The original prop was painted aluminum. My kit will not come prepainted

I can’t wait for this! I’d love to find out how to put some sort of circuit board inside the control box while still installing it with electronics! I’m excited for the next update!

Can't miss this!
I will have an update on this issue soon. The control box has been engineered to have a 3d printed resin liner, that will replicate the abs grey rails of the original, which brass L stock will then be glued onto in assembky. I'm going for accuracy plus a functional build that keeps things together solidly. Stay tuned for more on this.
After a bit of negotiation with the shop, we've come to a price that should work well, and machining is underway on the prototype. When I have that in hand, I'll post pictures here and start a sign up thread in the classifieds. I'm estimating in about three weeks. I'm super pumped to see this beauty in the flesh
