INTEREST THREAD ONLY

Now that Fettpride is back full time on TDH(y)... We wanted to gauge interest on the possiblity of an Aluminum Rocket with a Copper tip for his upcoming Gauntlet run.

Most fan made Aluminum Rockets made to date have been based on an aluminum body and a Brass head...but none with a copper head, as this, In My Opinion and the opinion of many others I respect on TDH, looks more like the real Fett gauntlet used on screen.

Prior to Fp's recent departure we had talked about doing an up-grade to his gauntlet kits with a high-end Rocket with a Copper tip...so we had a proto type made for the resin version for all FP Gauntlet kits in the mean time.

*not sure many people know this but this rocket is based and measured off a REAL Boba Fett Rocket....YES, that's what I said.:D....don't ask how...cause I'm not telling...I will let Chris explain that.;) Just another exciting feature of this rocket!!(y)

Now as most of you know, Copper is Not cheap these days...and is extremely fragile when machined... so this will Definately add to any costs. So again, this is NOT going to be cheap!! This will also be a One time limited run only...again if we actually do it.

So please let us know if you are interested... if there is enough support this WILL become a run.

Ok, you said accurately sized, "PLUS" a copper tip! :eek: I think I just wet myself, darn it, I hate when that happens!

Please add me to the "Hypothetical" Run list! ;)

depends on what "not cheap" means ;)

Yeah :lol: exactly.. .allot has to do with what the price quote we get back from the machinest on material.

and I was already told that there would be a 1 to 4 ratio...meaning for every one good copper tip machined there would be 3 mess ups:facepalm...that's how fragile it is when working with copper....so we'll see.(y)
