Lichtbringer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I love you mike. Oh, that´s something you need to discuss with Mrs. Licht. make my metal parts please? It might take some time, but i can. you are famous from the RPF. I´m just a simple man, trying to build my way in the hobby. please help me! is it ok to call you mike? Sure. you are an awesome metalworker and a star in the hobby. No, not really. you are my only hope! let's make this happen? and to note I will be making replicas for sale. resin versions.. so add that to the price! you know... honor above. I´m not into the hobby to make as much money as possible, so ..... if you give your word to consider that when calculating the prices and don´t margin it up (not over your time and materials), selling no scopes on ebay (i don´t want them sold by recasters), so selling them only on complete blasters/kits for this our community ..... i will make them for the pure price according to the spend time, just like a item for private use on your MGC. That might keep the price for the FISD a little bit lower, and help those troopers with little income. If you don´t mind the costs for sending it back, after making a mold and putting the first cast by side for later molds ..... i will lend out the original pellet gun rearsight piece to you, so you can make that, too.

Lichtbringer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Cheers Michel. I was hoping you'd find this thread. Hi Mathias, yeah, i´m not that much here these days as i would prefer. Bought some vintage machines and giving them a lot of tlc takes a lot of my free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well, at least you're stopping by when most needed. Hope your machines are feeling better. I bet you spoil them!

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) my goal is to make a ROTJ replica for myself. and a set of copy parts for other people. if we can find a balance then I'm interested. on the personal side... you know I'd nver recast I have the desire to cast and make replicas of the ROTJ. that I want to make replicas. your help would make my project much better. I do need help to make the ROTJ blaster metal parts a reality. it's not money. it's accuracy and I want to help other people. so it's a team effort. the goal is never money... it's the joy of knowing that you have the best replica you can ever have. I just want the rights to replicate the format for others. so what I'm saying is that if you make parts can we find a way to help others find the same thing? maybe we might have a run of your parts? or permission to make replicas of your work. that's my goal. I have the MGC and I have the goal to sculpt. but I figured that there's always that expert like you mike. I've been watching your RPF posts for a while now. my intention is to make rotj blaster kits a reality in the hobby. can I count on you to help us all to have the best possible base? I need a partner in this. resin parts I have.. but metal ones I want. Edited September 3, 2012 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtbringer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) my goal is to make a ROTJ replica for myself. maybe we might have a run of your parts? Vern, i can make you the scope so you can use it on your MGC. You can cast it for your ROTJ kits - i will charge nothing extra for that copy thing, only asking you consider that in the kit-price, so the FISD get´s them as cheap as possible. The same for the real sight piece - you can use it for the kits for free - i just want it back after you made the mold of it. I´m not talking about you would recast anything, as you would have my permission to cast them for the FISD - i just want them sold in your kits only, not as single pieces, as i feel they would be recasted faster if someone can buy a single scope cheaper at ebay (or else) than a complete kit on FISD. Control is better here than on ebay. I don´t do runs, to time consuming and to often going bad when life strikes. But if someone wants a certain piece and is in no hurry, i always try to find some time to help him with that. He just needs to pm me with his wishes, and when i´m able to do it, i will let him know. With my real world job it´s easier for me to work 2 hours here and 5 hours then, instead of doing 20 pieces with 5 hours each as fast as possible. Just look at the RPF regarding delays of such stuff - it takes the fun out of the hobby. I prefer doing one by one, maybe other things in between, to keep it interesting and fun. Just as a hobby.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 a doopy do rotj with metal and resin parts is my goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I'd want to keep the original metal scope for my metal ROTJ? I would mount it on my original MGC. I would never sell your metalwork apart from the original base gun. it's a team. and I would like to be a part of that team. no... I don't deserve to be a part of it, just because I own an MGC can you, mike. also make the sight rail and the door catch and hammers? at this point no person is making the Rotj except for the sci fire. it would be interesting to offer parts kits for people. that's my goal.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I love your work. and I'm sure that others will admire it as well. I have the MGC and I need the scope, rail hammers and door catch. the C tracks will be added after I get the aluminum parts from Michel can we work on all the elements for the ROTJ? looking at your work makes me feel like a little child a kid again. I'll be showing my resin replica's from steve aka tango tomorrow... Edited September 3, 2012 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Hilarious Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Could that small part on the front of the scope have been a microscope lens? And Vern, if you can start offering RotJ pipe build kits, you will be truly a god amongst men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacblue[TK] Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Please forgive the necropost. Did these parts kits ever become a reality? Just concluded a deal for an MGC and it needs "the treatment"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K@nne[TK] Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey guys, need your help. I want to build an e11 ROTJ Blaster but I can't find a source where to get the scope and the scope rail from. Do you have any idea, the only source I know is Tango D'Fett wasn't here since summer 2013 any tips or ideas? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
