bobafettish, I thought I understood the design of the ribs, but maybe I don't. What do you mean when you say,

"There should only be six ribs total without any on the bottom section." ??

Same here. I have machined the ribs all the way round. But i am leaving the drilled taped holes till they are finished. Just in case some wants bigger or smaller holes!
I should have some new pics tomorrow.

The only visible ribs on the ROTJ MoM exhibit are the six on top. If you look closely, the bottom (underside) of the rocket is smooth, to make it easier to glue/screw onto the gauntlet.

So by grooving the entire thing, Russ, you did more work than really needed. But what GREAT work it is!

Actually, it appears there are two wider ribs at the sides of the bottom, as shown in the above photo, but the absolute bottom appears to be flat with no ribs. I'll dig up the pics.

WOW! Great job on the cone, man! And it appears the holes are lined up nicely and all the same size. Only a small part left to do, eh?

So how many ribs are there total on yours, Russ? Not to sound like a broken record either, but what kind of price range are we looking at for one of these?

Hi mate i have done the ribs all the way round. But i still have not drilled or tapped any holes for you to attach. I was going to put 4mm tapped holes but i am going to wait and see what people want . For 1 missile shipped will be $174 . I've machined 6 which 2 are sold so i have 4 left. If you are in UK Total price P+P is £105. The missiles will be finished in 3-4 days i will be doing a first come first serve basis, I also will be starting other batch of 6 missiles in a few weeks. Any questions please get in touch.
Many thanks

Looks great Russ! Any chance you could give us the length of the missle? It might help to see where you arrived at for some of us trying to fit it in our gauntlets.

Also,will you be making these for a while?

Hi again all I have finished the Missiles to day. Here are some pics. I have 3 left but i will be starting other batch of 6 in the next week or so . I am going to put up a list so if you miss out on this 6 and are interested in getting 1 just add your name to the list. Because if there is a lot of people wanting 1 I will machine more than 6.
