Oh I thought you sold you Macrobinoculars. I sold mine.
Me too, I saw some on EBay not too long ago, I thought they were yours actually they may have been Troopers. I wish I never sold mine.No chance of me selling my macros that was the prop that got me into hunting vintage parts
I just got my first pair of binoculars. OdiWan72 kit painted and weathered by Rufus72. Beautiful work and a fantastic kit. Thanks to both of you.Luke ANH Macrobinoculars & RAF MkVIII Goggles and Luke ESB Electrobinoculars & SWAN Goggles Displays
I finally got to add my Luke ESB Electrobinoculars built by Dustin newmagrathea from a reject parts kit Markus OdiWan72 was kind enough to put together for me which I have previously posted WIP photos & videos.
I had a pair of ESB Hoth Gloves, which I used some hair curling tubes to form the fingers, I think it looks cool to see the gloves holding the Electrobinoculars with the SWAN Goggles behind on a funny foam face.

Graflex Display
I built LEGO Graflex family cycle displays from Anakin to Rey, I am still looking for a mint MR Luke ESB FX Lightsaber and to have my all vintage parts Wampa Cave saber built to complete the display.

Very creative way to display the Macros and the Binocs...love it
Those look great Ian, awesome display too!
They look great! I think the only prop I have thats not weathered is my vader esb lightsaber. His lightsaber just looks odd to me all beat up.Awesome build Ryan they look great I tossed getting Dustin newmagrathea to do a heavy weather on mine but in the end we went with a light weathering as I was doing a Luke ESB display.
Ian do you mind if i save those RAF photos?
Super freaking awesome my friend!! That sir, is the holy grail!!
Congratulations!
Vintage Derwent MK9 Female Balance Pipe
What an awesome day, Dustin newmagrathea finally received my vintage Derwent MK9 Female Balance Pipe that I picked up from the 5th engine recently found by Diego Diego86 the delivery was delayed as the package was flagged for inspection and we had to pay $39.23USD to the US Customs & Agent for them to tell us NO duties were owed on the item, you really have to love the way Governments find to make money grrrr lol!!
The Female Balance Pipe was the last part I needed, I can't wait to see my vintage Obi finally come together and to get in-hand

After Dustin completes the assembly and does a final video I will post the list of parts and sources and give a shout-out to everyone who has been involved in my vintage Obi quest
I think I paid some where around $130 in duties alone for mine, consider yourself lucky. I paid $30 for the booster and around another $130 for the grenade. They have no ryme or reason. Diego did get me a balance pipe in 3 days, a world record probably.Vintage Derwent MK9 Female Balance Pipe
