Can't wait man but LOL you have a nack for taking pics in your ride.
cool i cant wait to see it!!!
Hey guys its not a major up date but here it is.
I like my sabers to have a brushed aluminum look, so I use a scotch bright pad by 3M like this.
I then wrap my hand around the part and the pad and start rotating it, it makes a real nice brushed look.
So I tapped off the area not painting and this is it.
I then painted the pin area and the small rectangles near the set screw hole. I painted and baked for a hour on 200 degrees. and this is the finished product after cleaning up the overspray.
here is the box I will use. I plan on making a lever to simulate the one on the real graflex.
These are the parts I have sofar. I have the grips, the blade holder and the control box. I will order everything I need on friday, except the PC that will come later.
I also plan on doing the bunnie ears, and emmiter tomorrow so when it is done I will take more pics, thanks for following.

Im doing a update, thats why Im double posting.
I did the bunnie ears, and emmiter, I think it turned out good. feed back would be great. thanks cant wait to see this MHS grafles alive lol.

Looking good so far. You might want to conform the base of the ears to the emitter, close those little gaps at the edges.

Thanks man. Hope I don't disappoint the graflex gurus

Nice so far! About the emitter though... is that an insert? Does that reduce the diameter of the blade a little? Can't quite tell how that's all attached, but I like it. I wonder what the rest will look like...
Remember, your LED will ALWAYS look brighter in pics and vids... If you're not playing with it at night, it's not gonna impress you...
