Thanks , Nicksdad. So glad that you did this and really looking forward to receiving mine. ( I have to pay you for UK shipping, once that cost is known.)

Almost there guys.
Side plates all done for the boxes. He is currently machining the triggers.
All the clocking is done, which is where the saber is assembled and the hole for the triangle, the locator hole for the box, and the hole in the front is put in. I want it to match the casting loaned to me as close as possible.
I'm still working on the sliding box cover, but we are so close you can taste it.
Thanks for being understanding and patient guys.

Sounds good. Thanks for the update.

Been over two weeks since the last update. Some news would be great.

Yea any updates. I'm cool being patient but seems like we may have hit a wall?

Patience children.

Hi guys,
I have a meeting scheduled on Sunday with the machinist.
The side buttons are cut and in the tumbler to take the rough edges off and hold paint better.
The circuit boards are the last thing and I will update you all on monday on everything.

Great news bro thanks

My only question is should i get it chromed for the elite look??

 

[Nicksdad]

Well, it looks like the makeshift etching tank will work and the top sliding circuit board will be made from actual circuit board material.
The lines are cut on a vinyl cutter and attached to the circuit board material and then etched.
I wanted to try to make it like the original so I'm pretty happy with the results.
The copper finish on the edges of the control box top was achieved by cutting copper foil tape and applying it. The results were great and the tape can be found on ebay
or you can simply paint it.
The following four pics are a kit with simple painting of the grenade and a little painting on the control box.
I must say that I am very pleased with how the control box turned out, it really mimics the original casting loaned to me.
If the etching goes well, I should be able to begin shipping early next week.
