quick thought, your last weathered tests look much darker than the weathering sample you posted before, the Barbican card is not very dark, so I would go as Dark as those last tests personally. Other than that, the partial soldering looks awesome

Will do, it’s actually easier to get it a little lighter.quick thought, your last weathered tests look much darker than the weathering sample you posted before, the Barbican card is not very dark, so I would go as Dark as those last tests personally.

What do we think here, original dark roast on left, medium roast on right... plain on far right below.
One or two of the closeup shots I have of this card seem dark, but then some shots seem lighter. Fiberglass PCB material is notoriously hard to photograph, due to the way it diffuses light on the inside of it. It always seems darker than real life to me, again, depending on lighting.
Damn, it's too bad we didn't discuss this before as Brad could have ordered a large batch of long cards and probably cut a bunch of those for the Barbican, now that means he would need to order another batch for the Luke ESB, and not sure there is enough interest for this version alone. damnit!
First of many of @eethan’s stunt kits I plan to build. This one is special as it’s the ESB variant. Since there aren’t a lot of references, some artistic license has been taken but I tried to get the grips as close to what I was seeing in screen grabs.
Not sure if these pictures have been shared but here are a couple I found in an older BTS book I have. The second shows the square shroud being used to deliver the fatal blow to Kenobi
Thanks again for the great kit!
thank you so much for the kind word and the photos, you did an amazing job putting the kit together and painting it!
Can't wait for your ANH Luke stunt!
