Interest Bookie Blasters Bronze Cast Webley No 1 Mk 1 Flare Gun

Good luck on the home sale!

Good afternoon. Quick updated for this Monday, May 16th. Got the stocks this weekend and got a contract on the home we are selling, so much easier to work on the blasters now. Can now have "gun parts" laying around my work room without anyone questioning it for a few days. Have everything I need for the next 5 in the list - there are 4 full ESB EE3s and 1 Webley only next on the list, so will definitely have the Webley only ready to ship out this week and plan to have the four EE3's ready to ship out by Saturday. The next 3 Webleys are finished with the wax casting and heading to bronze later in the week, so should be ready for me to pick up around the first part of June. Although there have been several indicating they want in on the run, believe the last one in the next casts is still "unspoken for" deposit wise, so if anyone wants in on the next batch with a late June/early July delivery of either the Webley only or full EE3, let me know. Hoping to have an update on the ROTJ blasters later in the week or next week - still don't have a shop that can do the aluminum barrel machining, but my shop might be able to outsource it to another shop in their area, so hoping for good things. Would love to get that project off the ground by the end of the June. Will PM those that are coming up on the list with their details now.

Thanks,
Dave

Quick update on this Sunday evening. Got the Webleys all finished up and the parts for the full EE3's base painted - the top two in the photo below are the Webley onlys that are heading out to AndyMac84 and Refugee tomorrow - just got to get them boxed up. The bottom 3 are for the full EE3's. Just have to add the parts and do the weathering details. Was hoping to get that done this weekend, but have the inspection on the home we are selling tomorrow, so had a few last minute things that I had to do around the house to get it completely ready for that. Apologize for the delay. The full EE3's should be ready to ship by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

No new update on the ROTJ version - making some additional calls this week.

The next 3 are going to bronze this week, so should have those in hand by the middle of June - one spot currently left out of those 3. Will likely continue to make these in batches of 3 going forward to keep them available for the immediate future.

Thanks,
Dave

Updated the project run list on the first page with everyone's status and marked the two Webley onlys that shipped today as such.

Thanks,
Dave

Christmas is coming early

Updated the list - all except the last 3 that are in process currently have been shipped. Will likely start another 3 within the next few weeks with a target for around the end of July shipping. Let me know if you want to get in on the next run. Also mentioned above that I might be getting the ROTJ version off of the ground - more to come.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Dropped you a PM. Totally interested in a built ESB one if these still available

Thanks!

Quick update - finally getting settled into the new home and getting a semblance of a workshop in my garage again. Picked up the current 3 Webleys that were in process this past Sunday - like going to the hospital and seeing a brand new baby for the first time each time I do this. Will be sending out PM's to everyone that is on the list for final payment arrangements. I have another set of 3 that is currently out of wax phase and going into bronze over the next couple of weeks - should have them by around middle of September for delivery toward the end of September. My bronze and processing costs have gone up just slightly over the last few months, so for those that had not already pre-ordered I believe I will have to bump the price up slightly - $675 for the Webley only, $1025 for the completed EE-3 - plus shipping on each. Won't know 100% on this until I get the invoice for the completed Webley's, but that is what I am anticipating. Would be happy to keep the price the same as before if it turns out that the prices actually haven't gone up as much as expected. PM or email if you want to get in on the next run.

Thanks,
Dave
