Looks like skoota grabbed one. Welcome aboard!

I did. Need to make sure I get the Skywalker to complete the set.

Any updates on the Azarian?

 

[Anakin Starkiller]

Not yet. Had to remake center diamond pattern section

 

[Halliwax]

One thing I’d like to mention is it’s all in forward progress. This project isn’t on the back burner, it’s in production and every day is 1 day closer

I believe these are newer pictures, taken from the Heritage Auctions site.

 

[Gregatron]

Definitely the basis for the MR version.

Look at the tarnishing on that...

Almost hard to tell the Finish difference between the body and the clamp

 

[teecrooz]

Definitely the basis for the MR version.

It looks close, but is still a bit different than the one in MR’s reference files. Each have some weathering and scratches that I can’t cross verify.

The Heritage Auctions photos above are the Azarian though. The “glass eye” paint is the same.

To be honest the Azarian glass eye just looks like copper oxidized (before the patina).

 

[teecrooz]

I think it’s paint. There are chips in the paint and bleed over the silver.

 

[guabe]

It’s paint.

I trust you.

 

[sakanade]

The MR reference has a long scratch on the circuit card that I can't see on the Azarian/Heritage.

I'm curious as to why they decided to make the bulb and bunny ears in resin rather than metal

Definetly looks like paint from the side.
