Question on MR Sabers and Accuracy

[SD Studios]

I'd believe a normal machinist who was working on the project than steve. Even if he isnt part of MR and claims to be one of 'us', you know his interests still lie in his past works over at MR.

Are you suggesting I am not being truthful? I am simply presenting facts that many people would not be aware of in this forum. I have no stake in defending MR at this point. I have also been pretty straightforward in pointing out mistakes that they (I) have made in the past. Nobody's perfect.

It is just that some folks seem to take the stance that EVERYTHING they did was a mistake. IMO, that is a rather narrow-minded position. Even a broken clock is right, twice a day. :lol

ps: You are going to need to be able to speak Chinese if you want to check with the "normal machinist who worked on the project".

pss: What is a "normal machinist"?

psss: Who is "Us"? Is there some secret society that I missed here? :confused

With all due respect, in my opinion, you don't know who or what you are talking about.

Having know Steve for near on a decade, and having seen the reference photos & measurement he took, his company made the best replicas. Period.

As has been mentioned before, there were inaccuracies made by certain Chinese factories for no reason at all. Example: prototype of phaser 1 was correct dimensions, just needed some small mechanical re-designs.

What that Chinese factory shipped was not the same as the prototype with requested changes- totally different dimensions for no reason at all.

You question my friend's integrity and his work w/o full knowledge of anything, and I can't understand what would cause you make such a statement.

No one is perfect, and as has been posted in the referred to post, not everything was perfect- just don't question someone you don't know from Adam about his/ her integrity unless you're going to back it up with photos, documents, hands on measurements and so forth.

'Nuff said.

Yeah, the MR conspiracy theory stuff is plain bizarre. I've always been an ardent MR supporter. My only gripe is that they'd never just GIVE me the damn things.

:lol @

My only gripe is that they'd never just GIVE me the damn things.

It's a shame, I've read all these MR threads now and it always winds up happening that Steve has to come out and defend himself. :unsure Chris nailed it on the head: "All of this has happened before and will happen again."

 

[tripoli]

Yep, Steve has always shown superb work from before and when working at MR. I and many other members here were ecstatic when Lucas announced the license, we knew here at the RPF that these would be the best mass produced replicas ever and he did not let collectors down. If I were to start a prop replica company, he is the person I would choose to head up such design, his heart and talent has always been supreme.

Yes. The first rule of Nerd Club is that you DO NOT TALK about Nerd Club. We are the secret society of those who walk [and sit] unseen.

We are those who could always "have done it better," although most of us have done very little.

But we will. Any day now. And it will be great. Better than ____. 'Cuz we said so. So don't question our hypothetical perfection while we compare those real-world manifestations to the sheer awesomeness of our pending vaporware.

We are those who always know better.

We are those who do not quail at the thought of refuting the irrefutable, because we " know a guy who knows, and he said that ...___"

We are the self-entitled and we deserve more and better.

We are the priviledged few who guard the vaults of useless Cliff Clavenesque trivia with the one shining hope that we will one day impress a real girl with a recital of this data, rather than merely fellow representatives of the nerd herd.

We are the unfatiguable, inexhaustable quibblers... and the convention floors tremble beneath our elephantine footsteps. The snack bars shudder at our approach. We are... Lord Abdomen.
Look upon our grievances and despair!

And we hates you. We hates you forever, with your high falutin ways and your "I've been to Skywalker ranch so many times it bores me," attitude. We despise you with your "I've worked in the industry," tales and your "I know a little something about international production," lectures.

You are rejected from our Secret Society of "Those who know a little but have done even less". We shun your misguided efforts to "enlighten" us and to correct our dearly held and closely guarded misconceptions. Misconceptions that give meaning to the meaningless.

Who do you think you are?

I name thee Prop Nihilist, the same way a naive prop neophyte named you Prop Demigod ten years ago. I cast you out! Fool! Anarchist! Rabble Rouser! Don't come back until you are properly penitent. Stay away until you will acknowledge that we are right in our uneducated and inexperienced omniscence and you are wrong. You must redeem yourself in all of our eyes and we will never permit you to succeed at it. Nor tell you what it is exactly that you must atone for.

We curse you to frustration. We curse you with disappointment. You are not one of us, the Lost Boys of Prop Neverland, we are the Unbelievers.

Begone, Believer!
