Limited Run Han Solo ROTJ Blaster Active Project

[Boba Debt]

This is a great way to move onto the next part I want to discuss, the pistons


I’m pretty sure my current design is about as accurate as you can get but I wanted to explain something that the last project wanted.


Some people wanted the hole in the pistons offset to the front and rear. I guess in some pictures it looks that way but I have always thought the hole was offset to the rear.

Here are some enlargements of the archival pics






I also forget why we didn't anodize them but I don't think it will add much to the cost to get them anodized.


So lets discuss the piston hole position and if how you eel about payng a little extra to get them anodized

 

[scottjua]

anodizing is good... I like. Less for me to pull hair out about (painting).

For the hole, I need to look at the whole gun again to see the relation and perspective of that shot.

 

[Don93]

I'd like them anodized.

 

[IndustrialActn]

+1 for anodizing. I don't see an issue with the hole position

 

[QCWolf]

Anodizing sounds good. I will go with the group on hole position.

 

[Curmudgeon]

How much does the anodizing add?

I'm not sure about the hole position, the only one that looks offset to me is the lower left piston above, but not I'm really sure..

 

[Luke0312]

Anodizing for me.

Don't have an opinion on the hole position.

 

[NeoRutty]

All for anodizing... I'll just go with popular opinion on hole placement... I have no opinion

 

[Shadowknight]

That's what I'm seeing too.

I'm not sure about the hole position, the only one that looks offset to me is the lower left piston above, but not I'm really sure..

I vote for anodized.

 

[count0break]

Anodized, holes centered is fine by me.

 

[Boba Debt]

Good feed back so far

Keep it coming


Thanks



BTW - I am still accepting people for this run

 

[Husker75]

Agreed on the anodizing, I think the more we can get the less of a headache it will be for us to get it assembled later without messing with paint!
As for the holes, I think the angle of the gun in the pics can sometimes make them look more off center than they are.. but i'm not sure. I'll also go with whatever the popular/common position is, since I have not studied them enough to really know. I trust you!

 

[JetSetWilly]

Anodized is good.
Agree on the piston hole, the difference seems minimal.

 

[Jedifather]

If the hole(s) are off center, it's probably from the prop maker just drilling hastily, not so concerned with having the holes perfectly centered. I see no reason to replicate that kind of inaccuracy. I say drill the holes centered. And anodizing would be great.

 

[enaswede]

Anodizing sounds good. I will go with the group on hole position.

 

[3oin]

I agree with Enaswede and anodized sounds good to me too.

 

[extreme_too2]

Anodizing is good for me. And, yeah, the off-centering on the holes seem minimal so I am okay with whatever the rest of the group wants.

 

[BoozeBeGood]

1 more for anodizing

 

[masterjedi322]

Agree with the anodizing. I'll defer to the majority on the placement of the piston holes.

I agree as well
