Unfortunately that’s correct. Each pommel is specifically mated with the corresponding body- so that the control box can then be oriented and drilled to match the correct angle specification.
Are the Gen 2 Hilts shipping out this month UK or Chinese machined?
Main bodies and high tolerance parts are UK. Some of the less demanding components are China (like the arrows for example)

What did I tell you about posting XXX content
Beautiful. I’m interested in a static version based on your latest and greatest accuracy. Any idea when that will be coming? Is there an interest thread for a static version yet?
No interest thread just yet.
you cant rush art
Thanks for that update, BRRogers.
Test bed for? Is there to be some expected accuracy change between the FX and future static variant?
With the Gen2? No. Nothing else can change beyond the weathering people decide to pursue for their taste.
Appreciate the clarification! I guess as long as the FX owners can purchase the tool separatley (and hopfully another run of the CC) there isn't anything I am going to miss out on by waiting for the static variant in terms of features or accuracy.With the Gen2? No. Nothing else can change beyond the weathering people decide to pursue for their taste.
I personally didn’t want to ‘pull the trigger’ on a static run until I had ample opportunity to find :
- the correct original donor pcb for the control box
- the correct original donor ‘cave tool’
In the midst of that happening (between finding the pcb and the cave tool) we were able to shore up our model with newest/ recent references and put any remaining questions we had to bed. What we see with the Gen2 in terms of exterior geometry will be adopted by the Static Hero in the exact same way… albeit with the ‘as seen on screen’ solid construction and replicas of the original construction of the functional control box and tool.
… sorry it’s late here , I’m recovering from covid and I just hope I have enough brain working where that makes sense
Yeah, that checks out
Glad to see you’re feeling betterWith the Gen2? No. Nothing else can change beyond the weathering people decide to pursue for their taste.

So Gen2 is not coming with Beryllium Copper anymore?
I wouldn’t say it wasn’t received well? Beryllium copper is the highest strength machining copper alloy and the color tone was similar to the brass L rails present during ISYHCANL. For accuracy to the cave scene they still just need to be color treated somehow with, tape, paint, or chemical patina.
