Looking to collate photos of Repro Weapons help needed

[jaymassive619]

Hi All

Im looking to collect as many photos of all the different examples of Repro Weapons / accessories that are currently on the market.

I'd like the pictures to be as big as possible size wise (to allow for editing and resizing) and preferable taken on a white background but everything will help.

Also if you have any repro weapons that you don't use or were ripped off by i am currently trying to build up a box examples so if you have no need for them and can send them to me i will cover the postage costs. They will be used as research material for the new Vintage SW Repro website that i am working on over the next couple of months.

Big Thanks to Browny who has already donated some.

Cheers Jay

There's this Dutch user on rebelscum, Shoenix, who told me he's also compiling a lot of pictures of repro weapons for reference. Maybe you could work together on this?

Great idea Jay. So you're doing an updated version of Jawa's Armory? About time somebody did it! Well done, kudos mate.
I'll see if i can dig any repros [spit,spit] out. Think i may have chucked 'em??

Yes mate hopefully a new up to date and far more extensive Repro site will have a positive impact on promoting loose figure collecting as opposed to people thinking they need the U grade for weapon / accessory authentication.

 

[Tank1252]

Yeah, i couldn't agree more.
Something like this could help protect us & well as promote our hobby. Great stuff mate.
I suspect it's no easy task tho, there has to be a reason why no-one else has attempted it in a while...

Nice idea, Jay. I have a few repro weapons which I'll take photos of for you if you like.

Incidentally,does anyone have a comparison shot of a real and a fake Lumat bow? I have one, but am not too sure if it's the genuine article.

 

[Chris_J]

Jay will in a week. I sent him one the other day.

Cool. That'd be a big help.

 

[Chris_J]

The biggest thing to look for is that its a lighter brown and its more detailed compared to the original.

 

[jaymassive619]

Big thanks to Chris and Browny for the repro donations ill hook pictures up when the drop on the doorstep inc the bow for batinthefry.

Another big thanks to jedi534 for the RS Links awesome mate!

On PDA At the mo (so trying to keep it short)

Thanks Guys

 

[Chris_J]

The bow I sent was the gray version, but the details are the same for all repros. I had the brown one, but it went the way of the fire last year, sorry.
