Limited Run Steel/aluminium museum like helmet stands + DL44 "invisible" steel stands
- Thread starter eethan
- Start date
Bumping this!
the 42cm stands are gone, extensions are still available in case you need higher heights. 8x 31cm helmet stands left and 5 DL44 stands.
I should receive the material for the new models of blasters soon but I don't expect to finish all this before the next 2 weeks.
feel free to post pics if you displayed your stands already, i would really love to see them!
cheers

Hey there,
Received the laser cut parts today, still a lot of work to do but this is good already
- ignore the ee3 grips, those are a test for myself.
- there is a teaser in there of another project coming up soon in the middle
- yes the parts are attached together because two stands attached together are the same price as one alone. Same for the smaller parts, a third of the price attached together. There is more work for me but it is more cost effective and less investment up front.
Cheers

Glad to hear that you received the stands safe and soundMy DL-44 stands arrived safe and sound however, I have not had time to assemble my blasters.
All in good time! You'll get to it eventually and I'm sure you'll love the blasters on the stands
I think we are all too busy with life and other things and all have 50 started projects that we need to finish eventually! when it comes to personal projects, I have more started than finished, it's awefull!
And yeah, even with pro projects, look at this photo of a corner of my workshop, this was supposed to be a tool table for guitar making, but I never yet had a chance to get started on the guitars, so I just use this spot to put stuff that are waiting. There are way more stuff in my small workshop, but here you can already see a part of the current Vader lightsaber run, the crazy delayed Padme blaster run all there, 2 personal lightsabers that are started and will not be finished for months + a few other small things, even 2 Cylon sword pommels in a corner!
Hi Eethan. Will there be any more DL44 stands available anytime soon?
Hi, there can be more if there is interest, but I need between 10 and 20 of any type of stands to order the laser cut parts and be in the ballpark price.
I will be finishing the current batch of other blasters stand and see how they sell before possibly doing another batch.
Cheers
yes, I have finished cleaning up the laser cut parts, as soon as I find the time to drill and tap the stands and go to the metal merchant to have the bases cut, then oiling them and all... so still a bit of time before those are ready, but they are all coming!E11 version?? I am in for that and put me down for interest on a further DL-44 and helmet run.
In for a few DL-44 Stands in the future.
Hi,
Sorry, I have been too busy to finish those stands for now, I hope I get the time soon.
I have thought about savers stands but haven't figured out what to do yet. I'm not sure people will be interested by what I want to do though or that it will be commerciable (if that is a word). I want to do vertical stands that are mainly invisible and a base that would regroup many savers together, it's a bit complicated.
Cheers
Hey there,
alright, I just came back from the steel merchant with 63kg of steel!
I'm not saying those are going to be ready tomorrow, but at least, we have progress, all the parts are here now. Those are quite involved though, so I need to find the time, and the time needs to be long enough
anyways, a little teaser. and this is all raw, but here we go. Front row are left overs. Back row is what interest us, from left to right, E11 bases for this batch, a few DL44 28cm long bases for the next batch, next two are Jango/Jinn/(Padme) bases for this batch (not Padme yet, I'm saving those for the neverending run of blasters, being hopefull I'll finish them), 25cm long DL44 bases for next batch, helmet bases.
I have had some demand for a new batch of DL44 stands as the first batch sold out. We cut the steel bases today, however, they are not for this batch as I don't have the laser cut parts for those yet. They will be released later on when i assess how well the other stands sell as well and see how I restock everything. As you can see, I decided to change the DL44 base size for 2 reasons, I feel it could be smaller, it is smaller on the other blasters, AND, the first batch was exactly 1kg, so it was hell to ship as I needed to ship it for 2kg just because of packing material. So i'm trying 25cm instead of 28cm long to see if they will fit into 1kg and save shipping costs for you guys
But, I have made a few 28cm long bases as well to keep as an option for people that want a second stand and want consistency. See guys, I'm trying to think of everything
so, again, a bit of patience, those are not ready yet. But, yeah, they moved forward today at least
cheers

Excellent. Definitely down for an E-11.
I’m 100% down for a blaster stand for my GK.
