From the SW Costume exhibit a few years back. Sorry they're not better.
Do you know what they used for the rubber?
I don’t know what… it was. It was very thin, maybe 1mm, floppy, and had a very fine checkered pattern on it. The bumps were proud of the surface, back was completely flat. I was actually surprised at how floppy it was in person lol maybe this makes it easier to glue onto a curved surface.
Thank you very much for your answer I'm just curious were the sheets large or tiny? I've seen this rubber on alot of general products from bike grips to drills but my brother had posted a simple meme that contained a lighter with the rubber and got my hunt started on butane torches there a few models that use this diamond rubber but what caught my eye is mainly the rubber details having some holes on the points (might be from the mold process) on one particular butane torch that's commonly sold and rebranded (GB - 2001), these "holes" are present they seem inconsistent aswell like the props. My mind is wondering weather the production ones you provided Dan are big sheets or sort of on the scale of a butane torch or bike grips, I think it could be a dead end but the model number having 2001 on it gave me extra hope but it's resold under so many names I'm just assuming production used this or sourced larger sheets but for a quick job like production is akin to I have confidence in butane torch but then again there's bike grips etc but the "holes" in some of the diamons don't seem to be present. (I have one currently on the way to see about attaching to my Mr Tyranus by Wattos and SPsabers as I believe the diamonds to be abit stretched on the current rubber)

I am by no means a expert at all about scaling etc I've just fried my brain staring at rubber there's some other models that use the same rubber but with some gaps ibetween diamons etc but please someone can correct me if their a dead end etc to what production may have used but I find it a good way to upgrade my current grips but again the thickness could be off etc
Deepest apologies to Dan to derail this in anyway. I am way too excited to see your Dooku come to fruition!

I hope you mean intricacies, not inaccuracies. Plenty of those on other replicas. Or should I say, idealizations perhaps.
Inaccuracies might mean the wonkyness
I wonder how installable it will be, if it at all
Yes, that's what I was referring to.
This is a 100% static hilt, built exactly like the original
Any idea on timing for this one?
It’s in the works, he’s got a few things he wants to finish first
I have a video coming out shortly, him and I just went on a road trip. I filmed from Q&A in the car while driving
So when I post that check it out, he goes into detail on what’s to come out 2024

Will be patiently waiting on the video for sure.
This video will have a different “feel” to it, and will be a prime example of what will be exclusive in my Patreon.
More in depth and person footage
Then once I get the Patreon up and running I’ll expand into Onlyfans
