PGHtrooper21 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Dark Energy Metal M19 Scope Kit. http://darkenergycreations.com/scope-m19.aspx This is the same place that I bought the "Tomtit" part. That is the cooling fan on the Mauser and is used on the middle of the ANH Comlink. I just received an newsletter from them. Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Batman[501st] Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I saw that in a RPF thread. Looks fantastic. Would love to hear and see a build/review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44[TK] Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Awesome! Price seems reasonable too since M119 scopes are hard to buy these days. Post some photos if you buy one and have it in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBoz Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 DEC's stuff is excellent. I've got both his budget DL44 Kit and his droid caller Kit. Both beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtbringer Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 His stuff is OK, but for each item there are better alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtbringer Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Depends on what part you need. For Solo blaster parts i would go for Todds: http://www.toddscostumes.com/costume-supplies/star-wars-prop-builders-supplies/ Owning several real Hensoldt scopes myself, esspecially the scope looks way better. Blued steel on other components where DEC has taken shortcuts on his budget sets, .... For the ribbed Tomtit part (trooper communicator) there is still the injection cast original available for cheap: http://www.reademodels.com/ For the droidcaller, just be patient, real Kobolds can be obtained for around the same money. Sure, it´s not as fast as ordering one, patience is needed. I have 5 originals atm. - all from ebay, and for none of them i paid more than people pay for his kits (even in the last year they rarely went over 250), just don´t give up. Denix wood grips - Denix itself offers 2 versions, one with plastic and one with wood. Buyer just have to check before ordering M19 scope - OK, that´s not so easy. You need to get on a BobaDept run, but then you get a brass cast one. They are not often, but if people would contact him with more demand, he might start to offer them more often.

Thanks for the tip. Now I would like to find the bottom piece to the ANh Comlink. I have 2 Tomtitt parts. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
