Veektohr's Half-builds & The Occasional Finished One - Zombie MGCs

[Edraven99]

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (MG81 stuff & a tiny engine)

I found a 1/4 20 actually and it's working great. There was also a 5/8 16 (I think) there with a square lug that fit perfectly into the square hole on the tap, though, which satisfies my OCD in a big way. Just gotta find another coupler that will attach to the rod.

I'll keep you posted, though!

My carriage bolt has a square base as well...

On my phone so I can't post just the pic, but here's a link to my build and you can see the pictures there:

I've read your thread many times

The square lug on my 1/4 20 is eeeevvvvvvver so slightly undersized for my pommel... it's just a minor nagging thing really. I'm out of town, but when I'm back home I'll take some pictures of inside. Now back to your thread to ogle your beautiful sabers again!

Ok... you got me there... mine's slightly undersized as well.... but it never really bothered me because it is almost a perfect fit....

But if it really bugs you, my suggestion is to try and find a small o-ring.... which should be easier to find than another coupler

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Just more Obi stuff)

Perhaps I have mentioned this before yet the cone part should be much deeper inside the emitter according to this picture from this foreign book :

The lightsaber in the center shows a bit of the cone part sticking out in regards to the windvane neck :

What does the lug look like? Sorry if I missed it.

EDIT: I see what you mean, square lug on a carriage bolt.

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Just more Obi stuff)

I never realized how deeply set the cone was. It would appear that it was never meant to be seen; just there to hold it all together.

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Just more Obi stuff)

Micro-update. So close to putting this Obi to bed (at least for the time being). But this little sucker is headed my way thanks to the kindness of our own mugatu

Oh, and there's one more thing. Well nine more things, but more about that later [emoji41]

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Just more Obi stuff)

Doesn't that mean 18 little more things?

Heh... our little "club" is growing more everyday Congrats Veektohr!

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Just more Obi stuff)

Exciting little package came the other day from @mugatu! I actually went home from work for lunch that day just to get it, lol.

Hell yeah, 100% real parts achieved :cool Now i just need to get it to 100% accurate parts :wacko

My coffee table is a mess right now...

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Boooooooster!)

Fantastic OB1, Veektohr! It is incredible!

That SL doesn't look too shabby either.

Re: Flash-Bashes and Blasters (Boooooooster!)

That's the active project at the moment. Just need to cut the clearance for the cylinder. Hopefully I can finish up the receiver the next time I have some time to sneak on the mill... I've been doing a lot of visualizing, lol. Measure 1000x, think about it for a week, measure, start cutting, stop because I'm doing it wrong, measure again, finish cutting - The Victor Method

This sounds very similar to the matty method as well. Lol. Great stuff buddy.

Straight from Belgium, it's my pleasure to formally introduce RPF engine #4, aka the MarVeeCrooz.

Found on a late night deep dive on an obscure milsurp website by myself, reconnaissance by Marv. Coordinated by teecrooz. [emoji41]

Females are spoken for, I'm afraid.
