I have a 12w+ Medium Blue Champion that came with a brass kill key and a brass covertech along with a silver card that had circles milled in to simulate the look of a bubble card. I want it to be a bit closer to the ROTS version so i made a few changes.

To be closer to the rots version I need a brass card on my switch box. In the mean time, I took the spare card from my Graflex 2.0 kit then filed down and sanded the edges until it fit in the box. Afterwards I adhered it on top of the other card temporarily with some double sided tape. The brass card I may be able to get off ebay as I did find a maker of mutliple styles and finishes of them and can custom make it to your required size.

The greeblies on the rots version are a little copper 'nub' and then a silver torx kind of screw. Since it has a silver dummy switch where the torx should be I will leave it there for the time being. I may add something on top of it to make it look more like the torx than a dummy switch, if i find something i want to use for it. From there I took a spare black kill key I had, lightly sanded the edges (to give the paint a surface to adhere to) and used a copper high heat multi-purpose spray paint on it, making my kill key the color that the 'nub' should be.

Lastly it had the brass covertech wheel which I replaced with a dual tone one. It should be an all black one, but fuck it. Dual tone is good enough and looks nice lol.

Here it is

Ya, it kept posting it upside down so I had to keep trying to adjust it. I got it now though!

As for the Fisto, no news yet.

Hi again,

Sorry that must suck.
Subtle changes but they work. You and Brax are gonna convert me into a Thin Neck fan if I'm not careful.

I often find it's the subtle changes that makes it what it is.
I actually really like how this card looks on it too. I might not change it.

Thin necks are nice. They have an elegant appeal to them.

There's still time for some good to come out of it. I haven't lost hope on the Fisto yet.

Yeah I agree, just have to convince my wife of their appeal. I would like a PS one day, so I can say I have a canon Luke Skywalker ROTJ as that was the first real big connection with a Saber I had, hence my liking for Green!
