It's incredibly difficult to take a good picture of the neck details so I made a quick cartoon with some of the features exaggerated to be more obvious:

funny that means that they machined the neck after the shroud.... or at least realized they needed a bit more clearance and went back.
the Hoth DL-44 blaster has an interruption in the flash hider bevel. It interrupts and starts at a different angle actually, really messed up. this is at least parallel lol

Drew has done an amazing job of capturing all the details of the original and still giving us a nice solid construction and an appealing aesthetic. Wait till you see the option we gave for the cockeyed emitter cap

I absolutely adore minute details like this. It adds an authenticity to the replica that is hard to describe.
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! What’s up with the trash can!!!?
Incredible job guys… the attention to detail is unreal
That case and it’s contents is directly responsible for a great deal of my life choices at this point
Here’s to the rest of them!Also where’d you get the case…?

Looks absolutely amazing! Seeing this all come together is inspiring to say the least. Very excited to see the final results of all the hard work you guys have put into this.

I did the same thing.
It’s gorgeous. I really love the PT design aesthetic.
RE: The angled emitter plate. I can’t remember if it’s been said, but what’s the timeline on that? Made wonky? Damaged before principle photography, during principle, after principle?
I guess my main question is which way is screen accurate, or is it both?

I think most likely both are screen accurate. The picture of the saber on the ground before Maul launches it into the abyss looks straight-ish to me. However, I can’t do a reliable perspective match without several high resolution images from different angles.
The emitter looks fantastic.
All the resin castings have the offset emitter, but do not have the pommel damage. So, it had to be early
Im sorry I asked this twice and you’ve already answered me lol
Very excited for this.
I forgot that these beveled rings were just that, with a little flange. Maybe glued to the steel plate and we’re able to be knocked loose. Unless there’s info suggesting it was a plate, sandwiched against the resin emitter section?
Not yet. Still waiting for the shop to fix the buttons
