Storm Trooper Run 2 Order Thread

I for one wish the run was a tad slower that way I would not have to sell my spot as I really want my saber.

If it were really slow, I'd buy your saber, which is ultimately why I asked about the time frame.

@Vvenom...Because we are waiting on shapeways, this thing is taking longer than anticipated, so you never know.  I wouldn't sell a spot if you don't need to. 

Turgon...shoot me a PM about this when you get a chance.

Hey Jango, just wondering if there are any updates on the progress of this run.

Thanks,

The chassis prototype has been approved and the large order has been placed at shapeways.
I used a V1 badprint to test fit in a run 1 hilt for wire pathways and component tests.
The results can be seen in this sale thread. http://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=40422.0
The final prototype, V2, is being assembled with a full kit and pics for the installers to use as a reference.

Speakers that were originally ordered for the run do not fit in the new chassis speaker pod. Speakers have been ordered from Plecter labs have been shipped.

Thanks for the update Jango!

Do you have any timelines for the rest of the build?

[JANGO FETT]

Best guess is mid July the kits will be sent to the installers.

Thanks for the update Jango!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I've been out of town, and for some reason, couldn't log in with my cell phone.

Hey Jango, Any updates on the run?

[GENERAL GRIEVOUS]

The shop that had committed to do the powder coating went out of business.  A new one had to be found, but that is moving forward.  The Bounty Hunter has taken the necessary steps to procure the necessary Powder coating.  As to "when" they will be ready?  That will still be a few months.

[JANGO FETT]

Update:
No luck finding a shop locally, so I started powder coating the parts myself. Here's some parts in progress.

Grips


These are complete. The solo bare one is a spare for a custom color scheme

Shadow Trooper parts
Non complete


Masked parts, so far


I'll be posting an update every two weeks or so as I complete the process.
Shadow Troopers are going first, because there are less of them. I need to refine my technique.

Thanks for the update and taking on the extra work Jango!

PM to Jango about taking over Obi-wan's spot #16 Shadowtrooper saber.
