How are you going to make your Star Wars clapper? Heavily weathered like mine?

Yes, I will try to duplicate the look of the original as much as possible

How have I missed this thread?!
Awesome work!

Thanks mate!
Guess that you (and a lot others) "missed" it because it's in the collectibles forum. Once this is a "from scratch" made prop, I originally posted in the prop replicas section (more viewed) but for some reason I fail to understand, RPF thinks it belongs in the "collectibles"...
Thanks for your "likes"

This one was a bit of a challenge.
If I had more pics of the original one wouild be easier to replicate the slate more accurately but overall I'm happy with it...

WOW! Interesting design to their clapper. You did a great job reproducing it. Have you thought about aging/distressing the type at all? The reference photo appears to show that "Camera #9" and "Edeson" have some wear...
