It's interesting to see indeed the rust spots on the screen used MPP. My shroud was indeed machined aluminium, and it was based on a real MPP (the MPP from Chaim / @Sym-Cha). Not only its measurements, but judging from the weight, also the material. Which leads me to believe, that the shrouds used on the MPP's might have been changed over the years in production; both a lighter aluminium casting and a steel version exist. I also noticed some difference in the wall thickness of the angled cylindrical part. Some are thinner than others.
But indeed did I discontinue the shrouds, but perhaps it's about time to do a limited run of around 50 pieces and ask someone's help in wrinkle coating and US distribution.

I caught that uneveness as well. I just chalked it up to the machining level of the day, but i did double checks to make sure. I even was able to spot some of that on photos of MPP's on line as well.
As to other parts. I'm heading that way. I have nearly all prequel sabers built up from back in the dead - and they should be pretty much all be dead on. One I don't have is the Yoda. I'm still willing to make the parts, i'd just need photos of the parts in order to do it. Or the parts themselves if someone has them.

I would be willing to finish my own if possible. Have you considered just selling them unfinished. As far as a US distributer goes I'm sure there is someone you can trust that will step up.
Not that he knows me well, but if you need someone to run to the post office, i have one 2 blocks from here so i'd be willing to pitch in.

black plastic. Im curious about applying some metallic crackle paint.
I was wondering how their material would look. I know their black has a texture to it. Looks really nice on that shroud!
