Thanks buddy.
About the chunk: mine was a tad big too. I used my trusty Dremel (with the aforementioned cutting disc) and reshaped it until it had the right size. Each side is now about .25" wide. You can see it here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=271358&page=8&p=4210882&viewfull=1#post4210882

PM me your address. I bought two just to be safe and only used one. The extra is yours. The price is undying gratitude

Speaking of missing parts: anyone has spare Wannawanga D-rings?

I've been lightly beating up my saber for about a few weeks now, and I ran it through the dishwasher this afternoon. It came out with a kind of bronzeish tint which isn't horrible, but hopefully I can darken it to not be as bad. (Comparing to Starkillers TFA run)
Ive also been following Halliwaxs tutorial, so I wet sanded my Roman champ to de-chrome it. Not sure if I should do more, I'll have to think about it for a bit.

Late Night Update!:
So I've spent the past few hours soaking and scrubbing the handle in drain cleaner. I made the mistake of letting it sit in one spot too long and burned the underside of the saber black, while the rest of it only grayed. I scrubbed it clean and started over.
While re-soaking, the area that burned left a straight line right down the saber. So I had to clean very carefully to try and hide it.
After some careful cleaning and some scary moments, this is what I ended up with! I plan on doing some more weathering, however the irregular patina helps give the impression that it's been around (in my opinion). Let me know what you guys think! (Raw TFA for comparison)

Here's mine so far...
Not too much work on it, but I sanded away the machine marks away from the pommel cubes and through the dishwasher a couple of times... very happy of how dulled down the finish is. Here's a shot of it with my Nicksdad for comparison.
So I've only been casually following this thread, but can somebody spell out for me where the Mystery Chunk placement on this thing is supposed to be? I've read the previous posts on this and I'm still a bit confused lol. Where in relation to the D-ring holes or the hole for the cone knob should it go? Same question with regards to the 'machine mark'.
I know that it's been discovered that there should be another set screw on the emitter, but there was also something about the pommel cubes on the unibody being wrong? Anything else I've missed?

dude this took me 40 minutes of digging to find...
"The middle of the chunk should roughly line up with the outer edge of the pommel cube (3rd right from the d-ring)."
Hmm mm
Not enough info ...
I'll do some digging this weekend
And post if what I find is + -

Here are some decent shots for mystery chunk placement.
I forgot! Yes that first photo shows it perfectly!!

Don't forget the chunk stays in the same location on the pommel (pommel cubes). But like u said the whole pommel can be moved so it can be located differently on the rest of the hilt.
I have to think but I think the throne room chair arm it's different isn't it? Or is it only the clamp that has moved in that scene?
