Andre, you know its buggin me, it looks way larger than i used to think, like i said, lined up next to that ROTJ walker, its huge...so my next guess was 12".....i ordered domes in 10" and 12" in the end so i can eyeball it myself with the goods in hand!
Its my fault you ended up with an 8" i think as that was my old guess...sorry buddy!
Ya know, i dont really care on the ref front now, this will be fun no matter what, and im sure, using well known donor parts, itll still get a few glances, hey if its half as attractive as your build, ill be a very happy bunny indeed!
Ive been looking at some odd RC buggy dampers i have lying around, i think i can get a good recoil and return action this way, but im not sure if i can utilise electronics into the equation...im not great with designing servo mechanics etc, but ill do my best to try!
The oil filled buggy dampers, without a shock spring, have a great smooth action, something i want to use to have that barrel slide back into position....big plans, much to do, and still waiting for any swag to arrive, but im pretty upbeat about this build!
