Limited Run Droid Caller - Precision Machined Kit

Wow... dmachinist has some SERIOUS SKILLS!
I'm completely IMPRESSED with how this project is going and I'm placing an order for 2 less than a week from now :)

But in the meantime: Sincere hopes that your surgery went WELL, dmachinist!
Rest up, relax and enjoy a full recovery!

Hi guys, got back home last night, everybody was surprised that I was able to get well enough to go home after getting both hips replaced,
the surgery went fantastic even though I felt like a Mac truck hit me the next day LOL, the whole team was great, just have to do my exercises and heal up for the next few weeks,
there are only a few more parts to make so I will finish as soon as possible,
Thanks for all the good wishes!
 
Wow, that is GREAT news! :)
Glad you're Home and on the road to recovery, DM!

I was gonna hold off on asking a few questions because I didn't want to bother you too much while you were focusing on the far more important issues of your Health and your Recovery, but if it's not too much of a hassle I'm going to send along a couple of questions to you about this project…
BUT PLEASE: NO RUSH on getting back to me on this!
Write back once you're feeling able to, but I'm plenty patient and I'm ON BOARD with this project for whatever time you need to see it through…

Best of health -and luck- to you… And happy you’re Home :)

Speedy recovery...

I'm hoping to get my order in before they sell out, but a Thanksgiving trip to dizz-nee with the kids and X-mas ruining my finances I will be cutting it close!

I'm at my computer a few hours a day, I would be happy to answer any questions
 
I just want to say that for anyone on the fence about this project, especially new people, a good replica droid caller is hard (if not almost impossible) to find.

I have been looking for one for a while. The replicas currently on ebay and elsewhere are resin casts or in one case, a poorly detailed metal version. I understand that there was a good version offered many years ago by Parks, but that was a long time ago and whatever is out there, people are holding on to most likely because if they let it go, they may not be able to replace it (well, until now that is).

If you are thinking about a real Kobold, those have been going for amounts higher than real Graflex flashes have been selling for. And here is the kicker, I rarely see the correct model listed but due to little options, people are willing to pay large amounts for the wrong model and/or missing pieces.

Not only is this going be a great piece, I think the price is right too.

For me personally, I am getting this one for my Anovos Solo Holster and I am giving the plastic one that comes with it to my Jawa. Win-win.

Glad to hear that and best wishes.
It isn't quite normal that someone gets two knew hips and is able to "go" home after a few hours, isn't it?
Just a great feeling for you, I think.
Enjoy christmas and get your time for recovery.
 
Don't completely count us out Frank !

Not at all. Did I give you that impression?

I just want a metal droid caller. I am sure it will be a great looking replica, that's why I am going to keep in in my collection. If I didn't think so, I would have said I plan to sell it.

It was 3 days but that's a few hours compared to some people who have to stay for weeks.
I actually plan on getting back to work for a couple hours a day by the end of next week,

Thanks again to everybody for the well wishes!
