Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Received mine too! Here it is, after some bluing and a bit of polishing:

I'm going to try to brighten the steel a little more like the nickel-plating of the real one and maybe soften up the edges with a hammer too.

Thanks for doing these!

Very nice Charlie!!! What did you use to blue it? Glad to see that you found your real cone!

Just some regular Birchwood Casey Perma Blue! I did use some matte spray afterward so the finish doesn't wear off from handling. Works like a charm.

Hey Chris, did the second shipment go out on the 10th? No rush just curious to see if I need to look for it in the mail.
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Hi Chris. Yours and Morgan's went out today. Yours should be there on Monday. I apologize for the delay.

No apology needed Chris. You put these out so fast and have been perfect communicating with the group. I couldn't ask for more! Thanks so much for doing this.

I received my cone yesterday. It really is perfect. This coupled with the Roman weathered booster is as close as you can get. I'm totally satisfied! Thank you Chris!
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

I still have a few of these left if anyone else is interested.
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Sweet Chris, fit lovely on the booster and work a treat when you put it inside the clamp. In fact it holds the booster and clamp very well if you trap the little tabs. In fact that hold is so solid I don't see why they would use cotter pins if one of these was used this way. With some modification could go inside the Balance Pipe?

I haven't gotten around to doing this myself! Love seeing the tan grenade again.
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Been a few months. Just a bump since someone else contacted me about this last night.
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Didn't realize there was even a replica available. Any idea if the russrep booster from the first run (09?) is any different from the current version?
 
Re: Obi-Wan ANH ANM2 Booster Cones

Hi guys,

I'm all out (Paul picked up the last one), but I did send my remaining stock to another member. Let me reach out to him.

That would be me! I've got them if you need them! Just shoot me a PM. :)
