Interest Thread - Gauntlet Darts

[asok]

I am trying to findout if anybody would be up for a set of CNC'd gauntlet darts. A memeber of the board here is working on a CAD drawing and I have somebody that can make them. I have to have at least 5 people who would want a set.

Price, it looks like they should be between $20 to $25 per set. Shipping would be extra. Shipping would be about $5 in the US. I will would need $10 down to help cover the cost. If you think you would like a set please post in the thread.

Here is what Alan has come up with. Please post what everybody likes.

Asok.

Soon as the CAD drawings are done, a pic will be posted.

[arkkien]

I'm interested as well.

[SingleSeat]

pics would definitely spike the interest

I just machined a set for myself this weekend. I will post pics in about a day or so. What a pain in the buttocks though! I may be interested for a set based on how they look. Show us the pix!

Here is the best pic of the darts on the costume from the MoM exhibit. Of all the custom machined darts I've seen, there are few that seem to look exactly right. The ones from TK-409s site have 2 grooves in the dart head, where there should one be one. (not a criticism, they're awesome!) But since the reference we have is blurry and unclear, it's hard to say what is exactly "right" I know WizardofFlight is creating some bluprints (fantastic as usual) so maybe this can help...

If you'll ship to the UK I'd be interested...

[Shinobi_Fett]

Here are my *VERY ROUGH* turned out wrist darts. As I stated, they are not 100% accurate, as the groove in the point is too wide. I didn't have a small enough cutting bit. I also have to even out and grind down the middle section, and the bottom ring arbelow the point. not to mention that the points are all of a differing size, but that will be fixed on the bench grinder. Well, whaddaya think? (they're better than pen points or dremel bits, so that's a plus)

I'd be interested in a machined set..

shinobi, the set you made isn't half bad.. I think they'd look pretty good after cleaning them up, and even better if you'd had that smaller bit

[Shinobi_Fett]

Hey thanks! As I said, they need cleaning up. The pic from the previous post shows the correct shape, and these will be relatively close. I also have a set of knee dart launchers that are completed, and I'm working on a JP beacon and some JP thruster knobs. I know these probably belong in another thread, but It shows all of them together.

I'll be watching your progress with great interest...

[Jango's kid]

Looking good so far. keep up the great work!!!

[arkkien]

Very nice, of course I'm interested in all the various parts. I can hear my wallet crying now

[MORGUE]

Count me in ASOK as always! looking for more accurate parts!...always!LOL

[Ripcode]

Interested.

[crazy4BobaFett]

Interest spike!

[SaxeCoburg]

ASOK, I would be interested also.

[FettOfficer]

Same Here!....hehe..Interested....

[asok]

There is now a link at the top to what they might look like.

[Ripcode]

I like the MOM Radius Shoulder.

So does that mean these are getting closer to reality?

[swspicer]

i want a set of gauntlet darts where do i send the cash



no disintegrations no fun

[Jun Garros Fett]

Jango's darts appear to be the squared off shoulder design with a single groove near the tip.
Boba's darts appear to be the radiused or 45 degree shoulder with double grooves.

Can both types be done?
I would be interested in a set of Jango darts in a couple months.

[Ripcode]

Are the lines on the dart heads like a screw?

If so, I don't think the real darts are like that.

It looks odd but, they do look like a screw.

[wizardofflight]

I have gone through every picture I can get my hands on and the "groves" in the head of the darts are screw threads. It does looks like they have either been filed down to soften the edges or it is an accumulation of paint that has filled them in. It was a surprise to me as well. But I have come to expect it from Fett.

[fettswatcop]

Asok, you still looking to get these made? Im interested in a set.

[asok]

Yep, I am working with 3 other people on which of the 4 options is best. The I will do a run of them.

[BobaFettSlave_1]

mabie you can think about doing a machined flame thower (ESB). i know alot of people here would be interested in that.

[Ripcode]

Asok! We demand updates!

J/K Any updates?

[Eskilax]

interested

[fettenvy]

I'm with you too

[thewatcher]

i know someone who makes darts for £15.00

[Ripcode]

See the pic. The grooves on the dart heads do not look like they spiral.
