TFA Reys Star destroyer found part.

I aligned the fins. I also aligned the bit with the fins.
As for the bit from Bob's Bits, Bob died earlier this year so that might explain the no response part.

Damn. That sucks. He was a staple in the industry and will be greatly missed.

Took a while to source all the correct parts. I couldn’t find an MC10 at a reasonable price, but I did get an MC9. Like most people, the screwdriver set took a couple of attempts to finally get the correct one. I couldn’t source the Bob’s Bits fork. I tried contacting them multiple times but never got a reply, so I ended up making my own from a regular bit. I designed the piece that holds it in place so that it’s nice and solid. I had to 3D print the outer ring because I don’t have access to any laser cutters. Now to try my best at matching the plastic to the metal. I’ll also do up the internals just for fun, like others have done.

Quick question: I can’t tell if the fins on both halves are aligned or misaligned? My OCD says aligned but from the pics I can’t tell. Any feedback on that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the leg work others have done with this.

Where can I find all the original pieces for this prop in Germany ... without using Amazon, Temu, Alibaba, etc? Especial the Burnerd multi size collet ... MC 10 or MC8, MC9 models

I don’t live in Germany so I’m not of much help. I got the collet from local guy and the screwdriver cover from Amazon. I don’t know what other choices you have in Germany.

 

[almar bouwman]

Don't know either. I live in The Netherlands but I got my collet from Ebay. The screwdriver set was bought for me by someone who lives in England and he then sent it to me. Maybe you can use a German online site where people can buy/sell used products?

Thank you folks ... try my best

Finished mine. I may touch up some of the weathering since I’m not 100% satisfied with it. This will be a great addition to my props display.

Sad I had no idea Bob passed away…

It was on his Instagram page.

I’ve re done mine with the found part fork tip . Apart from the center ring it’s all now a found part build . It may not be the most desirable prop from TFA but it displays well and is pretty cool .

Finally finished mine! I managed to get the fork from Bob’s bits. Then I completely lost it and went way overboard on the interior. Especially because most of the time nobody will see it. I just couldn’t leave well enough alone.
