Ok so I'm done..

  • KR Flashgun Gen2
  • Roman Props Folmer Glasseye + Roman Props Folmer Bottom
  • Wanna Wanga pinched bubble strip, rivets, wonky d-ring and grips.
  • Stamped sidebar
  • Installed with the updated grip guide and cut in accurate length.
  • I also went through a lot of material and tried to replicate each angle of the grips
  • Trimmed a leftover screw (I think it was from the beertab) and glued it on top.

Wicked nice build
Thanks I'm just a bit pissed that the bigger "grip rivets" are probably 2mm off "in terms of screen accuracy". I wonder if I should remove them and try to cover the holes with newly placed rivets or if I should just leave them since noone will ever care or notice (besides me) lol.
 
Nice build indeed saiyanwillpower ... those in between grip rivets were somesort of repair/fix on the real prop ... just leave it as is ... and move along ;)

Send your sidebar to Roy to have it stamped and also get his belt clip ... so you can wear your saber proudly on your belt :)

Chaïm
Thanks you! I think you're right :D Yeah I'll send it over, but I heard there might be some pre-stamped ones available soon, so let's see...

Edit: Updated the pictures.

Awesome job! Thanks for the update!
 
Ordered the kit from Wannawanga. Waiting for it to come in. Also, need help with the second red button. Which is more accurate… Roman’s or The Graflex Shop’s?
 
I'm not sure but I heard from someone that on his KR the TGS Glasseye didn't fit.
I think you should probably go with Roman's
Thank you. I have not heard that so thanks for the tip. I will be ordering the one from Roman’s then.

Edit: not sure how I missed it, by KR Sabers has one for sale also. It would match the one on the top already ☺️

Update:
Completed this today. KR Graflex Gen 2 with Wannawanga parts. Amazing quality on both!!

Not going to remove the beer tab so I know it’s not 100% screen accurate. Maybe a later mod for me.

Question… when I was drilling the holes for the rivets on the Kobold, the bottom spun on me and mis-aligned the cap. I tried ti spin in back, but it wouldn’t go. I had the clip lined up perfectly with the clamp originally. Not sure if anyone else has had an issues with this before?

Since I just saw the comment. Yes, the cap can be rotated. I also had this issue happen once. It might be really tough though.
