the cocking handle is 62.3mm from tip to tipThe outer diameter of the thickest part is 9.4mm and that's 29.8 long and it tapers 5.8mm to a end that is 4.9mm in diameter. "The ring is12.4 in diameter and 3mm thick. The thinner end is 29.8mm long and 6.4mm in diameter rounded top. It has a flat either side at the base above the ring. the curve starts at from 4.7mm up from the ring. It's hard to explain in words and I'm felgercarb at photoshop but here goes....

I'd say 7 to 7.5 inches

soak in hot but not boiling water for a long time replacing the hot water regularly. CA/Superglue hates water...... then pick it off as much as you can.

I have a real Sterling (ANH & ESB) and a MGC Sterling (ROTJ) so I could give you exact measurements from the real things If you want? Just let me know what parts you need measurements of.......

I've found the White trim for the armour. I have FS thread up in ongoing orders. £3 per meter.

Hey Rich, Did your suit arrive yet?

Pete? Not heard anything on this for quite some time bro....... I would like to see this finished mate on a real live person......

Looks mighty fine.....

Is the bolt available as a resin cast? I was thinking of casting up a bolt to offer for resin builds to add that accurate look. But if it's already available then there's no point.

That's why I'm looking into it. The thing is that it's over $120 shipping so I would have to add a little to each order to cover that.....

http://greatlakesski...molding-ft.html is PVC

I think fenixprops is cheaper but they are not on ebay for some reason? I have his email and have asked for a quote for 100 meters of the stuff.......

If anyone can find anything closer than what I've found I would be very interested.

I think the texture is remarkably good. Or at least as close as I have found.

That's the belt material I have. I bought a reel of it to finish my Endor Trooper.

I might have some pipe lying around. I'm still waiting for the paperwork so your box is still sitting here. I can open it and pop some in. I might even have some belt it's not entirely accurate but it ain't bad.

Happy birthday mate!

It's boxed up and ready to go..... Not long now buddy!

The armour is looking good. But I think you need to get a bit if sun!

Well spotted mate! Yeah, I had it on and off the manny so many times I must have mixed them up! :lol It's not with me any more and the new owner hasn't noticed so alls good....

We want more!

Ha, Ha! Yeah, I was a lucky man and I got it from Andy on here. I actually found it on gunbroker I think. I payed a lot more than £100 though. Jeez, that was a cheap deal some lucky bugger got! I'll post some pics soon, I'm just having the greeblies drawn up in 3D so I can get them machined. I'll start my own thread as not to clog up Robs.....

I'm glad it arrived safe and sound.....

Thanks guys! I've just seen these replies . For some reason I'm not getting all the notifications?? This is a very proud moment. It's great to be featured on the best reference site on the net!

I was going to say the same thing. I think that pic is worth all the effort alone! Congrats...... Oh and the suit ain't bad either!
