Limited Run <<< MPP >>> anyone??? _ NOW SHIPPING!!!

[Kylash]

Originally, I was just going to make only silver trapezoid bars. No black bars at all. Then all the requests came in and I decided to do both silver & black (trapazoid). Then... teecrooz started whispering about his rectangle bars. :lol I got measurements from him, sent them to the shop and waited for samples.

Eventually samples of this that and the other came in, and I didn't follow up on the new silver bars. It was only until the extras arrived that I spoke with the shop and it seemed there was miscommunication from the get-go.

Long story short, silver & black bars were die-cast the same as originally planned.

So is anyone able to provide a service to cut down trapezoid silver bars down to rectangles? :behave Silver trapezoid bars are kinda gonna stand out on an ANH saber.

 

[teecrooz]

I think we’ll see them in one of the MPP accurization Etsy stores soon. Based off our conversation, Roman is also checking into it.

 

[Filandrius]

So if I understand correctly, the silver bars are not the correct shape, but the black ones are?

EDIT: I get it now, both silver and black bars were die-cast in the trapezoid shape. But the silver ones are supposed to be rectangular. Right?

Ok, took a picture for you and talked to Roman!

My real flashes have a smaller hole under the black button. It is a post hole. Around the post is the spring which sits on top of the flash for compression.

How did this happen? Well, I loaned Roman one of my real flashes. It was used for external dimensions and esthetics only. He had a Larbel on hand for disassembly. Unfortunately, the Larbel has a large hole under the black button. I believe this was for use with his plasma blade series which also had removable emitter details (now called blade plugs, and yes, there used to be real plasma blades and not just EL or LED). I have a Larbel here and confirmed the large hole on mine.

Unfortuantely, this is not good news for those that bought one with the intent of making a Boba Fett blaster. It is good news for FX guys, because there is a large hole for an activation button.

Dang... well that really sucks... Especially since everything else looks so perfect right down to the engravings.. Guess I’ll have to wait out and keep my fingers crossed Roman does a MPP V2 in the future with the corrected hole layout.

Since I guess I cant really use it anymore, Anyone interested in buying my second MPP (black sidebars)? :unsure

Silver rectangular ones are the correct shape and color for ANH, but not for ESB.

ESB has black trapezoid sidebars.

Roman offers both versions.

I know he offers both version, I preordered the silver bars. But what I'm trying to understand is Roman's post above: both bars were diecast in the same shape, trapezoid. So, the silver bars don't have the correct shape. Correct?

 

[fightercaptured]

Correct

 

[Filandrius]

Thanks. So, will Roman offer some replacements, or will we have to buy them again? Knowing that, I really should've preordered the black bars, at least my spare set would be accurate to something :/

A question related to the bars is can they be cut from trapezoid to rectangle and be correct size (assuming that will mess up the appearance since chromed) or will they be too narrow

Unfortunately it will fix the side view, but not the profile. There are pictures of that profile in post 169 and 183. Silver are ovals with flat sides and black ones are trapezoids.

I don’t have my Roman’s in hand yet to say anything definitive other than what I can see in the pictures posted here.

It would have to be completely different side bars. The trapezoidal bars also have a taper that the rectangular ones don’t have.

Ok, help me clear up confusion. So the Romans bars are both the same. One chrome and the other black. Correct?

Esb vrs anh are different, correct?

Romans bars are the correct shape for esb, even though one is chrome and the other black, correct?

So, if I have romans silver bars, I can paint them black, and they would become accurate with esb, correct?

 

[teecrooz]

Correct!

Page 26 of the lightsaber guide shows the ANH bars in detail. You can see the angle of the clamp, the bars are short. Roman's silver bars can be ground/cut to match. The bar profile, I don't know. The MPP bars had variety, and the shot I'm referring to doesn't show them and no other images does.

 

[badboibill]

wow... at the time I ordered I couldn't make up my mind and at the very last second I decided to go with black sidebars. I can't tell you how lucky/relieved I am that I did.

 

[Filandrius]

Knowing what I know now, I would've ordered the black sidebars for sure.

Yup, a few variations out there. I could have sworn some of the silver bars were trapezoid, and I'm fairly certain the MR ANH is not oval & rectangle. I am quite happy with how these turned out

No, they would also need to he trapezoid shaped.

ANH- silver rectangle

ESB - black trapazoid


- edit- sorry didnt realize till now that the silver sidebars on Romans were trapazoid shaped.
I got th EsB black sidebars.
