Roy, can you tell us where the US orders will be shipped from? I've received a couple different tracking numbers direct from USPS, but they only show the city of origin...

From Virginia!

I love VA!! I knew I should've moved back there. Now I've gotta WAIT, like a schlub, for them to cross a whole state before getting here.
Can you tell I'm very excited about the arrival of these babies? :love

Just received mine. Awsome! Looks great, glad I ordered one.

Question for members. What are the plans with the finish. Are you using wrinkle paint?

Since these are patterned after the ESB/ROTJ rusty steel shroud, no wrinkle paint from me. I'm going to try painting on some washes to darken it, but keep the rust..

Re: Vader MPP steel cast SHROUD (RUN FULL, STARTED SHIPPING)

I'm going to take off the very minor rust on mine, then hit it with some satin or maybe even flat Rust-Oleum spray.

Ditto for me.

No, no wrinkle paint!
I think I'm going to redo my own version. But I'm going to create a thicker layer of rust first, and maybe even adding some oil before applying lacquer for it to chip easily. I might have to give it a few tries.

Unfortunately for some others with the 2.0 it doesn't fit...any suggestions? maybe dremeling it?

Re: Vader MPP steel cast SHROUD (RUN FULL, STARTED SHIPPING)

I'm sorry to hear that it's such a tight fit on some hilts. I hope you all manage to get them on.

U could always buy a cheap honing tool from your adavance auto or autozone. Hone the inside to give it just that little extra clearance

Re: Vader MPP steel cast SHROUD (RUN FULL, STARTED SHIPPING)

Whats everyone doing to install these on the mpp 2.0? Is it just a tight press on fit since there is no set screw? Or should i glue it on?

I couldn't get them on my real MPP or the Parks replica, but I measured and I only have to remove 0.2mm. Should be a very easy fix with minimal work. They turned out fantastic! Thank you Roy.

Re: Vader MPP steel cast SHROUD (RUN FULL, STARTED SHIPPING)

Tried it on my ANH-black bar saber.

Seems i got lucky. Slides on satisfying, no rattling and not to tight.

This shroud is planned for one of the Romans MPPs i ordered, but if it doesn´t fit on them, i can swap parts and use it on this.

Got my shrouds today, they look great! And they're a perfect snug fit on my Larbels. Thanks again, Roy!
