Limited Run Rey's Quarterstaff (Star Wars: Force Awakens) Resin Kit (First Pulls Pg 5)

Re: Rey's Quarterstaff (Star Wars: Force Awakens) Resin Kit (First Molds Pg 3)

If a buyer should want to make the staff the exact same size of the film prop, what length pole would they require?

To be clear, the length of the pole, not the length after the tips have been added.

I'm finishing the first one right now. I'll post up a diagram with measurements later this week.


It's been a busy week with casting so far.

Base kits will start going out by the end of the week. The deluxe ones will have to wait until parts arrive.



Here is also a mini tutorial for adding more texture to the parts.

The basic texture is a good start, but with the molding process, it came out a little too smooth for an super accurate replica.

Adding more texture is really quite simple. I used this textured spray paint.

After all cleanup was done to the parts, I sprayed it down. It adds some decent grit. There are larger grit spray paints, and probably couldn't hurt to use that on a few spots, just to add variation, but I felt that this one was good enough for what I wanted. This was one light to medium coat.

It has some different colors in it, so I did a flat black base coat on top. It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it does make a big difference, especially with the feel.

The biggest improvement is that it covers the woodgrain texture on the wooden dowel.

DANG these kits are looking amazing--fantastic work! It looks like there are still technically slots on the waitlist, but realistically, is there any chance of getting one of these with enough time to build it for an event in early June, given how late I am to this party?

These are very easy to cast, so we expect to work our way through the waitlist/subsequent runs quite quickly. I would say you've got a great shot, as that's 2.5 months away. But you should hop in the queue ASAP!

Great! Go ahead and add me, please! (Just the cast parts, not the deluxe kit.) thank you!

Hi! These look amazing. Is there still room to get on the wait list for the basic kit? Thank you.

Thank you! Waitlist has been updated

 

[kelliwise]

Thanks for posting all the updates, everything looks and sounds fantastic!
I'm curious - Do those of us on the waitlist need to confirm we want the deluxe kit? thanks!

Hot damn. I have 0 plans to do Rey and at this point I'm just torturing myself because I'm so broke, but this is beautiful.

No, if you are on the waitlist you don't need to do anything except wait for the Second Run to open. You can specify whether you are ordering Basic or Deluxe version at that time

The textured paint is the very same stuff that I used on my staff (also purchased from JJ) and also to weather my backpack, gloves and goggles. INSTANT grit. That stuff is amazing!

Hey all, quick update on the state of the project:

All of the staff pieces are completed. Hooray!

Unfortunately we are still waited on certain pieces for the deluxe kits (basically, the slings, lol). In the meantime, we will be shipping out those who ordered JUST basic kits. By our records, that means @karmajay, @Sunkistshark, @Galacticat, @hollyann and @Fett4Real should expect their kits to ship sometime this weekend. Those who ordered deluxe kits, you're probably looking at closer to the end of the month (hopefully)!

If you ordered a deluxe kit and you'd rather not wait, we can ship just your staff parts now and ship your deluxe stuff when it arrives, but you will need to pay an additional $15 to cover the separate shipping & handling. If you are okay with waiting, we will ship the full kit in a single package at no extra cost, as originally agreed upon.

This also means that we are ready to move on to a 2nd run! Those who already paid deposits will automatically be given spots in this 2nd run. We will be contacting the first individuals in order that they are on the waitlist to collect payments. If they decline or do not respond within 48 hours, we'll move on to the next individuals waiting. So, basically, if you're near the top of your waitlist, keep an eye on your inbox

Payment sent for deluxe staff! Woot woot!

 

[JJ Griffin]

Had a couple people decline their spot in the second run, so look out for more PMs if you're high up on the waitlist

jj, just checking if you have that diagram handy.

 

[NeoRutty]

Haven't heard anything... Not high up enough?

 

[JUSTINIAN]

All basic kits for the first run have shipped. Domestic ones should get to you by Tomorrow. One went to Canada, so it should take a week or so.

I'll work on the diagram and upload it later today.

Here is the diagram for a 6' staff.

To make it longer or shorter, increase or decrease the length of the PVC pipe. Keep in mind that you will also need to adjust the length of the wooden dowels.
