I've already flattened my 2,0 tab, but wouldn't mind an even better one.

Any chance on making a accurate TFA glass eye?
though i dont own a 2.0 if wannawanga is making a new product i have to buy one for the collection! count me in for 1
I would order several.
Thanks for sharing!
Was that beer tab you used a genuine vintage Graflex tab? I want to know for sure that a vintage tab will fit on a Graflex 2.0
Yea the beer tab was taken from a vintage Folmer I had converted into the Hero ESB. To me, the vintage adds a genuine feel and fits great. I did try pressing the 2.0 beer tab with a vice, but there was still a crease from where it was originally bent.
Great to hear. Thanks!

Oh, my wallet already took a hit. And it's begging me for another! Must resist! (For now...)
But hey, my 2.0 is at the post office waiting for me right now

Hey guys,
Just a quick update of my ongoing experiments with a transparent, metalized clamp card. It's a bit tougher than I thought it would be, but the result is at least something. I'm not happy yet. My last copper batch was a bit messy, had scratches and some tiny holes. Now I have to eliminate different factors to see if and how I can improve upon this. I thought about maybe changing from copper to brass... Brass is a little less prone to scratches and dents, and I think it is also what was used by the TFA prop department, at least that is what was revealed in that one Cinefex article. A change to brass would also mean that I don't have to gold plate the whole thing, which in turn saves me a bunch of work and time. I would try to coat the final cards with one thin layer of polyurethane lacquer, to prevent brass oxidation. What do you think?
