I believe TheGraflexShop sells them under the name 'electrical side switch'.

I believe TheGraflexShop sells them under the name 'electrical side switch'.
Do you believe I’ve been looking since 8pm, after I posted I found these suckers on amazon.. I feel like such a fool
Thank you though, the listing even has their size so I can adjust the model
Moving right along. I found some bits of brass tubing in my scrap pile which fit the holes in the black buttons, then wrapped some masking tape around them to provide a friction-fit to keep them snug in the control box holes. Just a temporary fix, until I decide whether to permanently affix them, or go for an FX build.
I’m extremely pleased with the Ace antique gold. It really is a perfect match, because it looks different in different lighting conditions, just like the hero.

I just picked up a couple feet of it (that I think matches, guess I'll find out tomorrow when they're delivered) both because I'm not 100% happy with how my cuts turned out, and also because I want to play with aging them a few different ways
Keep us posted on the aging, I’m curious
Where did you grab the extra? My Lowe’s doesn’t have it anymore, I bought 2, 2 packs a few years back for another project and their lost in the shed some where
Never to be seen again
Here’s how the canoe looks with a vintage card like you guys mentioned in the video
Euro: 3mm x 3mm
Albion Alloys A3 3mm x 3mm Brass L Angle
Albion Alloys 3mm x 3mm Brass L Angle 1 piece per pack The angles are a 90 L shape. Suitable for scratch building models.
US: 1/8” x 1/8”
K-S Brass Angle .014'' x 1/8'' x 12''
This is the 1/8" Brass Angle from K&S Precision Metals.

‘Some’ ACE hardware have a k&s fixture with it occasionally. The Albion Alloys stuff has a much sharper edge and I personally think (at 3mm) is the more accurate.
Man how did you cut that so clean? Cutting circuit boards is always a pain for me.
Bought a couple in the junkyard that were already cut. I wouldn’t dare attempt it myself haha

I’m amazed by the quality and ingenuity of that hero recreation and the outcome and the speed with which you guys get it done.
I regret being dormant for much too long while only to wake up and find out I missed in on an AS run
Anyway, on the bright side can I ask you a question to which the answer is:»Not bloody likely!»
Is it a coincidence that Bonnie Tyler sang «I need a hero» the year ROTJ released?

Is there a "trick " to get the 3D printed canoe to fit in the ROTJ HERO control box? Mine doesn't seem to want to fit?
it needs some light sanding to fit properly.

1/8" (3.2mm) Brass Angle - Kit Kraft
90° brass angle stock for model building or trim. Use for adding brass elements to models, jewelry or artwork. - 1/8" x 1/8" angle (3.2mm) - 11-13/16"...
kitkraft.com
I had some trouble finding it until I watched you and AS's video and he mentioned hobby stores. Start looking there and it's pretty easy to find, since it doesn't seem like hardware stores carry it anymore. At least not so small
Damn it that looks nice!
