Has the version been decided for you next run, Hoth or Bespin?

Awesome, Any way you can direct me to the source of one.
It is a difficult part to reverse engineer due to the 3 holes and will require someone schooled in machine technology and blueprinting.
If you want to send it to me I will cover shipping both ways and hook you up on that part of the project.
the link to the source of exact copies/ reproductions is posted in Taco Bots thread.
at about 74 Euro plus shipping, it is very expensive for such a small part IMHO
don't plan to ship it across the big pond when I have it, but I ensure to give you all measurements you'd need...

Here's some pics of my Luke. The left side Greeblies from what I understand are accurate to the on-screen prop live fire Luke carries. I MAY have the motorCoil part turned around... can't be sure.
My mount knob I made based on what I saw on the prop, but since making this one I have seen better photos are know mine isn't quite thick enough. Not enough to be wholly inaccurate, but a slight difference. It should be about 1mm thicker I think.
The Mount is blast tech and is pretty close to the correct size. It matches up pretty well to shots of the prop, but it's MGC base vs real Mauser base so it's hard to tell.
My Flash hider is Evolution props, and while it has a correct barrel through approach, It's slightly the wrong shape and smaller than it should be.
I put a real mauser trigger on it, and it works perfectly with a little rigging. Action cycles the dummy round perfectly, and trigger works. Looks and feels so much better than the MGC trigger.
Since I'll be doing a Luke Live Fire from this run, I was wondering... do you have any ideas on how I can attach the FH to the barrel and keep recoil from being an issue? I can't exactly file away the real barrel to accommodate the FH if it has a non-tapered hole.
Thoughts???
I also think I'll do a both denix version. ^_^

Hey mate my interest has moved to the HOTH version since the above pictures show something that will be familiar for me in the near future!!
