Great post Andy! What about the other variants? Amber and gold, what about the ones that were perfect externally but had more metal on the interior and would have had to be drilled out to accommodate the booster? Didn’t we find some of those in Australia?

Fantastic piece! I learned something from the read. Love the visuals.

Dug through some 2015 emails with mugatu. Found these in there.

There is so much more that would need to go into a full AS thread. I originally was trying to just encourage JamieCarter about the AS acquisition that he had just completed.

It does seem like searching for these will just be a very difficult game of Where’s Waldo, but its really much more like going into the woods and hunting pheasant without a dog to kick them up, and if you do see them, they are flying by quickly; moving targets.
Honestly, both of those pics about how blurry the photos usually are on the internet are both WAY better than most posted auction pics where I have found the real deal.

teecrooz you or Romans Empire should write up a section on all the different types, including that baker’s dozen golden family Roman beat me out on a couple years ago

This needs to be a sticky! Beautiful write up andy!

I completely agree with Halliwax. Fantastic write up, with great photos!

Don't know if any of you happened to watch Peter Jackson's 'they shall not grow old'
BBC Two - They Shall Not Grow Old - A truly incredible piece of film making.
There is a point in the film where you get to see one of the soldiers firing off what looks to be a No3 Rifle Grenade from the trenches.

I have one of these as well that I'm using as one of my display hand wheels. You'd need to hacksaw off a big chunk off that one insert piece in order for it to work as a part of an Obi build.

Excellent post & info mugatu the only thing you left out brother was the sale links lol!!

 

[Bengrim09]

Yeah, they're the correct ones. Saw a beautiful one go for £400 the other day. I was trying to bag that one myself but with being at work I couldn't keep my eye on the auction so got out bid.

Where are you looking ? Can you send me a link so I can keep my open

Haha I wish. I have been coming up empty on these for a while. These old eyes just aren’t what they used to be.

Crappy photo....but project Real Parts Obi is off to a good start! Just need to find a booster, have a Roman replica as a place holder for now. Thanks Marv and teecrooz for your assistance!

[russellsch]

HAA! That would cool, to build a giant Obi-Wan lightsaber.
