Is everyone aware that Gym_Ghost be makin' COMPLETE an' PARTIAL skull kits for Lindbergs? That be the skull, plexi-plate, bracket swivel and rod for approx $55 (last estimate from him), available starting abt May 1st. If you already have the Lindberg skull, it be abt $12 less (I think).

The plate I have to make a pattern from is one I got from Gym_Ghost, which was a reject for the Bucky skull (of which I have none). It shifted during cutting, moving the servo holes abt 1/3" south, so he was giving them away. I got two of them, trimmed them down for the Lindbergs I have and used them as they were. They are the ones I use in my skulls. I made 6 but did not re-locat the holes to where the new plates have theirs, as those have not been released yet... so the pattern I would make would still be from the rejected plates. I CAN make copies of the one I have, but I recommend waiting until Joel gets the finished plates out into the world. When he does, not getting plates from him would not be best for your build.

Having said that, and again I recommend waiting until Joel, (Gym_Ghost) gets the kits finished, those local to Phoenix, if you still want to make your plates now(from the rejected plate), I am off this week (till Friday), call my cell and we can coordinate a time for you to come over, Six Oh Two - Seven Four Zero - Seven Nine Two Two. I'll show you how to mark the plexi to cut your own. I have a band saw and could cut them if you dont have a scroll/'jig saw. I'm an airline pilot, my days off are during the week, and I've got a permanent Honey-Do list from me own wench..

For those not local, with my 2-3 days at home each week, that to-do list is long. I have the remainder of my own skulls to build, 4 on the bench, and 6 skulls that just came in. Myself, I'm planning on getting Joels kits, minus the skulls fror the balance of my skulls. These'll be like stove-top kits, just add skulls and servos, wire'em and go. I am still planning on a video how-to on making a routine with VSA, just as soon as they add the 3 more hours to the day..

Whats it all come down to? I say wait till Joel gets his kits put together. If you just cant wait, I can make some plates, based on the rejects, for Lindbergs. Blinky is sending me a template for a Bucky skull so I can try to make that too, but, it's all based on my being at home to mark/cut them out. With the airline industry being what it is, the schedule for May isnt promising...

If you're local, call me and we'll work out when to come by...
