TFA Graflex Research (That's a Graflex, right? Force Awakens teaser trailer #2)

Any guideline on pricing? - equally with the grips be pre cut for those of us with a disposition to break things!

Id also love to see you make a bottom plate to fit under the kobalt that is cut with sound vents under the clip so they are invisible to the eye but present to allow sound to escape! - Easier for you to do it at production stage i guess.

I could be wrong, but I think "bottom cover" on his list is this.

 

[thd9791]

arent there hex screws in the Maz box saber? see picture above on this page

ETA: mid August. It'll include:
- clamp cover
- bottom cover
- clamp card (hopefully the translucent version)
- Kobold clip
- D-ring
- 6 T-tracks
- rivets for grips and Kobold clip

And new blueprints of the two hero sabers!

I think it's inconclusive at this point. Therefore you could use which ever you prefer.

Roy's bottom plate doesn't have the sound hole. A version with a sound hole like the one pictured would be perfect for FX conversions.

The ESB ring is not laying against the Kobold, it is up at a 30 or 40 degree angle.

If you look at the pic of Luke's lightsaber sticking out of the snow in the Wampa cave you can see exactly where the d-ring hits the Kobold clip because there are 2 divots or 2 worn spots on the edges of the clip.

boy i have been out of it for a couple of days. i missed a lot of d ring action!

 

[Daniel97]

Any ETA on Roys new Kobold D ring? Or even the new clamp card?

I want to order both ..

Whoop whoop!! Great news Roy! Hope you're enjoying your holidays : )

Now I just need TCSS to help locate my missing £200+ parts order :' (

Here's a few other good references (of the outdoor hero saber)
The width is easy to determine based on this shot:

And the round shape can clearly be seen in this shot:

I have been searching for slightly bigger d-rings and come across these on flea-bay. They measure 32mm across and 19mm up. Although the photo doesn't show it, both d-rings are the same width. I think this might be closer to the correct size....thoughts anyone?

I displayed my Speed Graphic (Army used) at a WW2 display recently and you wouldn't believe the number of offers I got my mine which is connected to the camera as it should be:

A few years ago a consignment shop in town had one complete with wooden box, glass plates and everything for $1200.

What was the highest? I'll offer $45 AND you can keep the camera.

Someone actually offered me $850. I think he was serious, too. That was at a huge display I put on at a big military event earlier this year.
I politely declined.
He persisted.
I then told him to go choke himself and his entitlement mindset.

Oh god that setup is beautiful. I'd die if I ever got my hands on the camera and flashgun, even in shoddy condition
