How many of us own REAL Webley No1Mk1(not real resin either)

I don't I have to finish my costume before I go full steam ahead looking for one.The price for one readily available can be VERY high as I'm sure you all know,and I've just gotta finish this costume.I DO however have a sidearm,so I won't be totally unarmed


Steve

I do!

Oh, and what a sweet Webley it is! It was built and finished by the master himself, Boba Debt. I must have it. :evil


[You don't need this blaster, you will give it to BobaFettish]

Man, I hope the Jedi mind trick is working today.

I must give blaster to Bobafettish....I must give blaster to ..... wait a minute :puke OK all better, now what was that?

Sorry BobaFettish mod or not, Fettcicles' Webley isn't leaving the Chicagoland area you are outnumbered :evil .-Mark

Does anyone know if the one Squirk had on Ebay (only to get pulled before ending) if he was able to sell it?

Squirk did in fact sell the Webley he had on ebay for $1600 is what he told me.

wow!

i remember that one.

i dont know how practical it would be to carry around a con though. tis rather heavy.

SIXTEEN HUNDRED!!!!!!!!!!! FUDGE,....I WOULD HAVE GONE HIGHER THAN THAT ON HIS AUCTION.@&(^%%()


I knew I should have emailed him


Oh well.A Webley is going in the budget for next year anyhow,so I'll find one,....heck I've got one in mind when the time arrises :evil


Steve

I brought that thing to Wizard con.......It brought the crushing total weight of my suit to 70lbs (Not sure if that is accurate but it feels like it!) It was tireing heafting that all metal WEBELY with my little arms. It was so heavy that my good friends Bobafettish and Seeker offered to carry it around for me (Then they stuck me in a corner, ran off and took some pics with it in the plexy glass box!) I was lucky I drove (and luckier I had my car keys. Taped them to my cod piece for safe keeping!) or I might have been stranded. BF and Seeker came back eventually, they gave back the gun (They woulden't have taken it, I know where they live) When we got outside and were walking back to the car Bobafettish saw a cop crossing people and handed me back the gun and said it would look better if I were holding it.

****, how did he find out about that? :p Oh well, here's a pic of me toting that cannon., all 11 lbs. of it.

There is nothing like a real weapon for the ultimate completion of a suit,but the weight is a killer.I took my Sterling along "Trooping" one Halloween,and the damned thing nearly made my arm numb by the end of the evening because I wouldn't let anyone else touch it.


Steve

I think Steve Sansweet tried to break a chair over my back for my blaster, all I heard was "Hey Steve, What are you doing with that chair?" then a slight bump, then some chards of wood fly past me, but I really didn't feel any thing while in my suit, he came around and was talking to us then. I didn't catch on until security caught him outside with it.... This is him "Being nice"

I am with ya Steve! As soon as I get this sandtrooper costume out of the way, I am turning my attention to getting a Webley. I held bobadebt's at DragonCon last year and even though he has several parts wrong, that gun is just impressive beyond words!!!I don't care how heavy it is. I WANT ONE!!!

How about some of you lucky fellas with Webleys make resin kits of them? They'd be lighter for you to carry around at cons and also might provide some of us unarmed Fetts with an affordable option

MB's resin Webley kit is dead-on the real thing. I did a side-by-side comparison between Fettcicle's blasters (yes, he has both a real one and a resin one), and they only difference were the materials used and about five pounds. By the way Brak's, the blaster you are referring to is the same one that Fettcicle now owns. Beauty, isn't it?

well, soon the next best thing to a real webley may be available!! I will be offering cast bronze repros of Mk1No1 Webleys. Stay tuned... but give me a bit of time! Mold is just complete, here is a early shot of the molding

NOW WE ARE TALKING!!!!! I WANT #1 ON THAT LIST!!!!!!!!! And I too have had the chance to drool over Fettcicles Webley in person. Not sure if I hated him because of that incredible weapon or uhhh... ohhh... the other one he just got [img]images/smiles/icon6.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon6.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon6.gif[/img]

Metal replicas?! Dude, you are slowly bumping your way to the top of my best friends list. 8) Especially since Fettcicle keeps buying all of the real ones.

Very good news indeed!!! This is a project that has been talked about getting done for about 2 years now,and still nothing.Glad to see it coming to frutition. PULLEEEZZZEE keep us posted,as you know there will be alot of interest in this topic.


Steve

There is nothing like the real thing particulary TWO!

Umm, fettcicle...you suck :p

We have a thread on RPF on this project and there is great interest too. The best part is that there is no copyright junk to get in the way. Stocks are also being produced to fit the replicas. As far as conversion kits - I myself would not offer those but there may be plans for those as well.

So far I have only cast one wax to check things out. Even though the gun was molded in three sections it will most likely be offered as a single unit. The lines and grooves will be very clean though. I anticipate the final weight to be about the same as a real gun.

oh - question: In some photos of the Jedi blaster, is the hammer cut down to be more... blaster like and less 'gun' like? This is something that can be done in the wax and cut down metal finishing work.

It looks like it has been bob'ed to me.

yup - that's the shot I was thinking about... thanks for posting

mmm...webley.

i have a resin one. i will now go to the corner and cry.

I'm so glad I never tried to bid on a real Webley!

Please put me on the list for these beauties.

do you know how much the final price for that would be or at least a ruff estimate?
thanks

Not sure on the price for these yet. I'm kind of swamped at work so progress is going a bit slower than expected.

TK581 - Can you keep me informed on this project, I'd like one if they're within my price range.

Thanks

Those are gonna be sweet and how did Fettcicle get so lucky.

SWEET VICTORY!!!!!! I just got a real Webley #1 Mk1 from a shop in PA! HAHAHAHAHA!!!! It cost me most of my BF budget for a while, but the cool thing is it's one of the 1915 guns--serial #540!!!! My Webley quest is finally over.

:evil

By the way, where exactly do you live? And where do you keep that Webley? Do you have a home security system? Any ferocious dogs? Do you leave any windows unlocked?......

:evil
GG

Yes....two very big dogs. They'd probably lick you to death.

Mind if I ask how much it cost you?

I was going through this old thread, and got to thinking--we've had a lot of new people join since this thread was started. I was just wondering what the current totals are for TDH people owning real Webleys. We know of the people in the thread already, but what about everybody else? I was amused to think that at some point in the early 1900's, most of these guns were geographically co-located. And now we've got them! I never posted pics of mine, so here they are:

I'll trade you my HS bronze completely completed E-11 for the top one in that picture It has a real ASI 4x20 scope, real Molex connectors, real split-plugs, real connecting rods, real Heiland. The rest was scratch built. Oh and I've got a strap on it now which was copied off an original Webley strap so it's dead on. It has been shortened for the ESB style.

Steve

I've actually already got one of the HS bronze versions (not pictured). I'm going to make the HS into my ESB blaster. The two Webleys are going to be preserved for the historical items that they are. Everytime someone turns a real Webley into a Boba gun, mine go up in value --so keep up the good work everyone.

No modification is needed to really make an ESB or ROTJ EE-3 that otherwise alters the original base gun.....so all the parts are easily or could be installed to make them easily removeable. The conversion is more on the lines of an ANH version with all parts able to come off.

I think Webley's have a pretty good market value despite any that reside as current EE-3's.

Enjoy your treasures

Steve

what is the going price for one anyway? i found a stock for $750 once, but i haven't found the gun. then again, i don't really know much about finding guns online.

Unless you screw or nail the greeblies into the stock. I guess everything could be glued on, but then you run the risk of parts falling off.
