This thread has been quiet for too long...
While the following pics don´t show everything that "happened" with regards to my collection, it is a nice occasion to post some pics
Let´s start with one of the last hauls (many thanks to my friend
mugatu for managing this for me!), that arrived a couple of weeks ago. Also received a large package of blaster parts from Field Marshall and the awesome BF ESB helmet from superjedi, but didn´t take any pics...yet:
These are the Plessey connectors for the Jawa power pack I already posted about, paired with some "silver" fabric clad wire I found to be the closest match to the references...at least I liked the look *lol*
Also started to convert two of my Arriflex lenses into restraining bolts...
Since I worked with two Cine-Xenon lenses instead of the accurate Cinegon, I had to make some compromises with regards to accuracy. Also had to modify the lenses quite a bit to make them look decent...anyway, I like the results
Last but not least is a shot of my desktop, where you can see the mess I created when I worked on replacing two of my E11s with more accurate versions. Shown here is "a" stunt ANH E11, based on a real L2A3, scope and counter, Roy´s track and some cast metal parts. Still have to add the power cylinders and will replace the scope rail in the -hopefully- near future.
That´s it for now...pics of the post-production E11 and the E11D I am working on asap.
Thx for looking guys
