R2D2 Fett's Blog

This is just to post updates on my various projects, like my full sized R2D2, my Han Solo in carbonite, my Boba Fett, Yoda, C3PO......AND the finishing of our basement (and home theater)or anything else that I might think is interesting enough to post.

Saber complete!!!

FINALLY my missing button arrived. It was the wrong one (meant for a blade conversion kit) so I had to dremell off the screw, put in a groove on one side and drill 2 holes to fit over the Graflex pins. I then epoxied it in place. The button they had at the Graflex Shop that would have just fit on my Graflex as is was out of stock..and waiting over 3 weeks was long enough of a wait!!!



It looks way better in person that in pics with the flash. The glue near the grips really isn't that obvious. I have to figure out how to scrape it off between grips without scratching the metal. I used 5 minute epoxy.

Saber STILL Not Done!!

I ordered my missing button 3 weeks ago! Still hasn't arrived!!

I have made the stand for it tho. Thomas had some great ideas, but I wanted it to be simple and easy. I am happy with this one. :)
