**Update**
Hi Everyone. Here's a quick update on how things are going... As you can imagine, it's been an incredibly busy few days, just checking over everything. I've been through all of the parts now and they are
GORGEOUS! 
I'm really happy with everything. Hope you like them too....
This is when the fun begins! I'm going to drop off the radar now and get my head down to get these out to people as soon as possible!
As of yesterday, there were seven orders for base kits (now eight) that could be sent out straight away. Everyone else's are just waiting on the Wannawanga parts to arrive. (this is not a bad thing) This gives me chance to get everything else prepared and packaged ready for their arrival. Then, as soon as they come in, orders can ship straight out!
I made up the seven that can go straight out yesterday and they're ready to go:
They feel deliciously weighty and weigh in at about 650g without the clamp/extras
As well as going through all the parts, and putting the above kits together, I've been checking the stencils for size. I felt that cutting the stencils without checking them for size on the actual hilt first could be a mistake, so I've been waiting to have them in hand first.
I cut out the full sections (without islands) to see if any adjustments were needed:
Aside from being hastily applied, they fit perfectly! So the vinyl cutter has been working around the clock cutting the stencils!
I've put together a stencil guide and had that printed too:
This will be sent out with the stencils along with a length of self adhesive neoprene for the neck (my personal preference, having tried numerous altertnatives).
**Important** Some things to consider....
By default, I'll be sending out Base Kits with emitters attached. This gives you the option of constructing a ROTJ V2 or a Motorised Stunt.
It is a very quick job with a hacksaw to remove.
I can remove the emitter on request, so please let me know if this is something you'd like me to do. Like I said though,
by default the emitter will be attached.
I'm assuming those who have specifically ordered the ROTJ kit, would like their emitters to be removed by default. (
Please let me know if this is NOT the case)
For those who have ordered the Motorised stunt, the body/emitter will obviously be left as one single piece. I will be drilling/tapping an additional set screw (hidden under the clamp). This is to help secure the motor. I have a strong suspicion that this is present on the actual prop, and it will prevent the motor from spinning within the chamber and breaking free from it's connections.
I will be doing this on all Obi kits and commissions. Again,
Please let me know if you'd rather NOT have this done.
Please do let me know if any of the above applies to you. If I haven't heard from you, I'll assume that the default for Base Kits/ROTJ Kits/Motorised Stunt kits are ok.
If the defaults I've mentioned are ok, there's no need to get in touch.
I'm going to go now and get through everything as quickly as I can so that I can get these out to everyone. I can't wait for you to see them.
Being my perfectionist self, I'm not just taking these out of the box and packaging them up, I am going over each and every piece to ensure the removal of any tool marks/scratches.
If you're fully paid up, I'll just be getting these out to you as soon as they're ready. Those who still need to pay postage/commission will receive their second invoices as they get packaged up.
Those who chose to pay via F&F won't need an invoice, and can use the same link as before. Either way, no need to pay until your order is ready.
Thanks again for your patience everyone, and for placing your trust in me. It's very much appreciated!
All the best and
MTFBWY!
Dave
