Re: DL-44 ESB Blaster Active Project
Getting stoked about the ESB offerings. All my Denix's with wooden handles are in and ready for shipment to accurize. I'm going to build a Hoth and one of each Bespin. I love my "new" MGC (on left) for the Dark Energy ANH hero kit that's on order. Very excited!

Re: DL-44 ESB Blaster Active Project
My shop has my prints and we have discussed all of the special little details that are hard to put on paper. The first thing they have to do is create their own blue prints and then the code to machine them. Once that is done he will be able to get me prices.
My shop is confident that they can replicate the look of the ESB Hoth Scope Bracket Disk, i.e. the Thorens Disk. It will be machined from steel and the price should be lower then the cost of the real part. Even if I offer this machined part you will still be able to get the real part if you don't mind paying more for it
David Meyer has silicone on order and should get it some time this week. Once he has it he will make a couple molds of my scope and start working on the waxes. His plan is to pour a couple to make sure everything will work out. Hopefully I will be able to send these to the shop so they can figure out how they need to machine them.
Many of you have asked about a time frame for payments on these.
Due to the way this has to work between David and my shop I am going to do a split payment system.
Initially I will ask everyone to pay me for the machined parts, hardware, glass lenses and the accurized Denix mausers.
The cast scopes and pistons will be purchased from David Meyer but he will send them to me for clean up, machining and distribution.
When I am ready to send these to the shop I will ask everyone to pay for the scope machining, shipping to the buyer and any other missed items / expense.
I hope that works for everyone.

I will be getting back to work on the plaques this week. Sorry for the delay. I got slammed with CVII orders.

Re: DL-44 ESB Blaster Active Project
Just a quick update for those that may not have received the emails.
The shop is still working on converting my prints to their prinks and machine code. Once they have that they will be able to determine cost at which time I will pass the info along to the group.
I have decided to do this run on 2 separate invoices.
The first will be for the Machined parts and the Denix Mausers.
The second will be for the machine work on the scopes, the parts of the scopes (scope rings, lenses etc), hardware and return shipping.

I am still working on the cost for the machined parts so I am still taking names for the interest list.
Yes, it is possible to get individual parts.
If you want to be part of the group go to the first post and send me an email with the requested info

Oops, something didn't get set correctly.
I say, take the clip of Darth Vader saying, "Nooooooo!" and play it on repeat until they get to 100% accuracy.
