Congratulations, Grave!!!!

The paint really turned out nice, Dan. Looking great so far.

Don’t give up Aiden. Just take your time and post as much as you can to get help from the guys here. Everyone here will do their very best to help you. You can do this!! I promise.

You’re the man!!

I agree Joe. Looks like 7 pins on the side. Not the 8. I know I have a photo somewhere that shows more detail. I’ll look for it tonight.

It’s great having so many enthusiastic people in the community. Basically, thank you everyone for being as nerdy and OCD as I am. Lol.

Just as something I’ve seen and noticed, specifically on the Move Along, maybe the Leia shots as well, I always thought the front chip socket was two stacked. The one towards the rear was the single stack. Probably doesn’t apply for regular stormtroopers, as I’ve not seen many that could be double stacked, besides the ones I listed. Wish there were more pictures.

You should definitely get a bit of money for the greeblies, Joe. You absolutely deserve it for all the work you do, buddy. I have the chips but I would love to get some of the other Greeblies for a few of the E11s I’m working on. Let me know when you have some to send out.

That looks really cool!!

I think you’re exactly right. Probably used whatever they got their hands on. Now if we could only figure out which chips were on which blasters, in which scenes. Too much?? Lol.

I actually thought it was a 14 pin chip socket. Even ordered them from Amazon. Now it looks like a 16 pin from the top picture. But the side looks to be 14. I know a few Sandtroopers who have installed the 14 pins on their replicas. Here was what I looked up on Amazon: BokWin 2.54mm Pitch 7.6mm Row Pitch 2 Row 14 Flat Pins Chip DIP IC Socket Adaptor 25Pcs Here’s the 16 pin to look up on Amazon: uxcell 10pcs 2.54mm Pitch 7.6mm Row Pitch 2 Row 16 Flat Pins Soldering DIP IC Chip Socket Adaptor

It was on the Move Along E11 as well. Front and back. Front looks doubled up and the back looks like a single stack.

Yeah. I can see very clearly the different in the mesh. Really looking forward to seeing you build this. Definitely want to get a shadow myself. Plus the Spec ops are just a great bunch of people.

That’s really strange, the differences in size and no tube stripes. What’s the difference between the hovi tips? I don’t think the picture is clear enough. I was looking at an Anovos shadow kit myself, but I’ve been afraid with all the issues with QC lately. It’ll be cool to see how yours goes.
