built using the brak's buddy tutorial. i sprayed the black on though, rather than using tape.

probably the most pointless update i've ever done to my suit, but i'm happy about it :)

Do you ever...um...sleep? :lol

Nevermind. What you gonna do with the old one? ;)

Any upgrade is a good upgrade :)

what are you going to do with the old one? make it fight the found part to the death?

Fight! Fight! :lol
Looks great, nice conversion!

Is it me or is the real thing much larger (even width-wise) than the resin ones that most use?

It's much bigger, I had no idea they were that big.

the resin one i had was undersized. it only stuck about 3/4" out of my pocket.

Well that's weird. The popular Darth Flan kit I recently sold matched up perfectly with the found part; i.e. direct cast.

--edit, I never knew an "undersized" kit existed.

Where did you get the real one from, and whats the weight? I have a resin one but ill go with the lighter one.

i actually think it was just cut too short at some point. this is a pretty unimpressive resin kit, which was what got me thinking about the real parts. i may try to get the stir stick at some point too.

the resin one i have matches up everywhere, but is about an inch and a quarter shorter than the measurements on the tutorial here.

Both the stick and the squeegee are still sold.
I've seen them online and at a local camera store. They're not cheap.

Expensive here. Look for them on Ebay. I'd weigh mine, but I don't have a scale that is accurate enough. Less than a pound though! :)

Why would Fett need that? :lol

hehehe... right now all of my money is going into an all-original-parts* E-11

* 'cept where the original part hasn't been identified yet.

Some smaller photography shops in the uk stock the paterson squeezee for less than you will pay on ebay :) I managed to get mine for £10.00 from a place in basingstoke, the stir stick was £4.00
