Done / Completed ROTJ Boushh Helmet Part - Machined Aluminum - Done

[Corellianexports]

I'm going to machine one of these this weekend for a friend and thought I would put this out there to see if anyone else was interested.

Update 1/31/21: The price will be $45 shipped for one antenna.

Prototype Photos:


The length of the part is based the depth of the large antenna cylinder which is just under 1/2". If the depth of your cylinder is less (i.e. 1/4") just let me know and I can adjust the length, which won't be much.
To install, just use a 5/16" drill bit to drill a hole at the center of your cylinder.

If you're interested, please post a reply with the number of parts needed. Thanks.

List:

1. CE (Done)
2. TatooineMachine (Paid 2/1 - shipped 2/2)
3. Ecoli (Paid 2/2 - shipped 2/3)
4. Theningyo (Paid/Shipped 2/5)
5. Spare

I’d like one. Ever thought of doing the snout piece?

 

[ECOLI]

I’m in for one too ! Question are you planning to make it long enough to go through the antennae body or?

 

[TatooineMachine]

I thought this was a piece from C3-P0’s head antenna?

Yes, the original piece sticks out about 3/8", so that part will be inserted into the antennae body.

Too much work.

I double checked some reference photos in the Chronicles book and the part appears to be different.
They are definitely close, though.

 

[ECOLI]

I am definitely in!

Do you have an estimate on cost for the machining?

Do you have an estimate on cost for the machining?

Yes, the final cost is $45 shipped for one antenna. Please see my original post for photos of the prototype.

If every one is still interested in purchasing an antenna, just let me know. My lathe is all set up, so I can get started on these as early at tomorrow. Thanks.

I've added you to the list.

If any one else is interest, please post a reply.
This will be a very quick run, only lasting this week.

 

[Corellianexports]

List updated.

 

[Corellianexports]

The last day to order a part will be 2/5.
I'll be closing the run that evening so I can move on to other projects.

 

[Corellianexports]

This is a last call for this part. I'll be making a spare part tonight and calling it quits.
Happy Friday.

 

[Corellianexports]

I have one spare left.
If any one is still interested, feel free to send me a pm.
