Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... NOW SHIPPING!!!

Got a shipping notice 10 days ago but no update on tracking since then. I ordered a ESB grip kit with mine. Could that be the hold up??

Roman said he was waiting on the cars from slothfurnace before he shipped the ESB kits.

Just posting here to say thanks for all the hard work you went through to get this made! Flash arrived a couple days ago and I slapped Roy's kit on it and printed a temporary stand. Well worth the wait.

I got my flashguns in and I love them though I have issues with one. Bought 3 of them and a red button, the other 2 are right there in the great aisle but the last one will need a bit of work, not too bad though!

Mine arrived today. I gotta say, I really like the look and feel of this replica. I have an original Graflex and Roman really did a stellar job!!! Ears doesn't look as spread as other I've seen, and the bottom, at least to me, does not look as shiny. I also received the ANH kit, which is great quality as well.

Edit: Ugh... some were turned upside down or sideways in the upload process.Please turn your head accordingly. Thank you. :)

Stupid question, but anyone got Roman's ANH conversion that wants to sell their grips? I have a set of T Tracks but don't want to cut the angle in the ends of all of them :rolleyes
 
Re: === G R A F L E X === Flashgun ... NOW SHIPPING!!!

I have an ESB conversion kit ordered with my graflex replica, whats the best way to go about aligning/mounting the grips to ensure they are evenly spaced and straight?

Look back in the earlier pages of this thread. There's a grip alignment guide on shapeways for ESB and ANH based on who made your grips.

I used the paper template available from www.partsofsw.com. I took about ¼" off the top and bottom and taped it onto the flash, then lightly marked where the grips line up. Removed the templates and used those marks to place the grips. Turned out perfectly... and its free ;-)

I used the Shapeways guide for my ANH build. I thought they did great. My t-tracks are from Roy at wannawanga, as was the d-ring & rivet. I just love everything he makes. So I trimmed & cut the angels into them with my Dremel. It was easier than I thought it would be, just take your time.
Pardon the crappy cell phone photos.

I really can't thank Roman enough for doing this run of these amazing GRAFLEX's. I have a hard time seeing them as "replicas". They're just stunning.

Looks great, but you'll need to flip your clamp card around. It's upside down. :D

The curcuot lines on the saber seem to change depending on which saber it used in the film. Flipping it wont do.
The fat lines will be correct but then the thinner lines will be wronf.

Luckily i have another card with the other positioning.
Havent decided which one to use.
