ESB EE3 Breach Greeblie(s).

its another source that seemed to think "43" was the right part

...
What do you guys think...seeing it used here, with the teeth removed?

Actually the OP in that post never said that. To the contrary he was intentionally mum on some things, and I think using part 43 was one of his main secrets that someone else then pointed out. But the OP never addressed it. It is entirely possible that he had some information that hasn't publicly surfaced and was given such in confidence. It happens. It is just as possible that he simply did the same type of research work that intwenothor has done and just wanted to keep it to himself.

If that is the part, his orientation seems to be off (look at the sausages!). Size wise it is a ringer, as intwenothor points out.

Yes i know, Seven mentioned that. Im assuming he knows more about that post. ;) Somewhere in that post someone said it was the crankshaft gear, as they mentioned it was the same part as on Bossk's gun. I think it is entirely possible that he just did research as intwenothor has. I just wanted to show the piece on the blaster painted, mounted and without teeth(assuming seven is correct with that point)
 
I'm glad you did show it. That thing is a peach. Wonder why he didn't just tell everyone one what it was since it clearly is 43 without teeth?
 
So what are ya thinking about ti being without teeth? If it is infact, without the teeth, how does the size look to you? It looks almost dead on to me, but another set of eyes is a good thing lol
 
Well, it's not a good enough photo to see whether he filled or filed but I think it appears to me more that he removed them as the impression I get of size is that it's smaller. He appears to have deliberately kept the photo poor to prevent easy identification which is a pity but then i was already sold so it matters not. By the way the second photo you posted in your first post back up the top is the photo that has made me believe that the disc is on both sides of the gun. It can just be seen peaking out! There is an HD grab in the gallery but I can't link it as I'm on a fiddle smart phone. Locitus posted a link in my 'Something very, very special' thread.

Edit: Sorry, I meant fettered posted the link. It's in post 24.
 
I'm leaning that way too. I'm also leaning towards ground teeth, though it might be worthwhile to mock up a couple of plastic discs, one of the diameter to the teeth points and one to the diameter of the teeth valleys just to see what looks better before hacking away at a $59.99 part! LOL

LOL indeed!
 
yes i know. I think fettered meant to cut some scrap plastic to the size of the disc with and without the teeth for size mock up on the webley before any modification is done to the original part before taking a mold from it....i think...right fettered? lol
 
Right. Unless you really want to drop that kind of jingle. Personally I'm hoping DV will get so into this that he starts selling resin casts. Maybe a one-time only run of 43 of them.
 
haha...well if i make em for me, i will of course offer them. No sense in making the mold just for me!

Hmmm..that sounds appealing....maybe the first 43 will be a "sale" price lol
 
I found the original thread of that blaster from 2008 that seven posted a link about, and DV posted a picture of. In that thread there's a second picture not shown in the RPF thread and there is no doubt what so ever that the teeth of the gear had been grinded down on that blaster. The edges are completely flat. But then again, it is still a replica although an insanely nice one.
 
The point I was trying to make when stating that there is only one 43 per kit is that you would need two 43s as it would seem from the HD photo (the one dv posted in his first post that I mentioned a few posts back) that there is a disc on each side. So you would need two kits.
 
Ah i see..this is true if your going for all original found parts. Since my webley is a cast im ok with castings of the part or using a casting on the "back" side and the actual part on the front. I did that with my am plugs..the back is a casting front is found items.
 
I don't agree on part 43, too many details are missing/incorrect/inconsistent across different pictures (also the central stub is much too tall).

How about this:

Sidewinder--to me that does indeed look good based on the images we have. I am assuming that this is a part that you made, and not a found item correct?
 
Correct, made out of resin cylinder, turned on lathe. I suspect there may be one more large & small hole hidden by the conrod perhaps in a cross pattern with the visible ones.
