Anakin Starkiller uni body v2 preparation group thread
- Thread starter kevin926
- Start date
Lol, yeah we definitely get each other going. My thirst for knowledge and Danny's love for sabers can be a bad mix.
And with my Stupidly witty and oh so awesomely random comments, We three could dominate the world... or the RPF.... or just the Star Wars section of the RPF.... Wow these possibilities aren't as dominant as I thought they would be. Im gonna go plan our global domination techniques now
. But don't worry about that! Worry about the saber my friend .Alex
I may have to do this myself. I thought of doing this early on but having seen how it turned out on yours, I think my resolve has been strengthened.
Can you share some advise seeing how you have already built this v2. I know this is a uni body, however, it will look same as far as appearance matters. I would love for anyone that has completed this saber to show off here on this thread. It would be of great help for those involved in this new run.
Thanks for your participation and consideration
Kevin
Ps, we are just over half way there as far as meeting Trent's minimum for ordering the stencils. If you are interested please sign up in the sales thread. There are also links above.
Not really. I just did my best to simulate/recreate the same conditions the original prop was exposed to. Assembled it, painted it black, and then beat the hell out of it. Seasoned to taste afterwards and that's that.

I will wholeheartedly agree with PoopaPapaPalps. The lightsaber on screen looks beat up.... because it was. & knowing personally the quality that Anakin Starkiller puts out (I have his v2 second run), you can't hurt 'em.
I tried :lol
I tried :lol
Not sure if I should be pleased or peeved that this info is being collected so conveniently here.
Lol, all of the above is more like it. When I work on a prop, I try to get as much info and reference photos as possible. This is also a good way to find out about the "what ifs" or "I should have dones". I figured if I invited the group to participate, we could all benefit and build a great looking prop together.

I wanted to try & put a nice "worn" & "battle hardened" look on the base, that would be under the stencil area & would show more depth after painting. I didn't want to use paint, I wanted it to be more natural. However, as I stated before... you can't hurt these things. All that beautiful scoring just wiped right off :lol

Alrighty then
I still consider this a work in progress. This was really one of my first builds, & I believe there are many who've built better.

beautifully done!! :thumbsup
For those of us on anikans latest run, we couldn't be at a better point in time with all of the latest updates and detail just released. I'm very excited about all these newly pointed out details and new mod opportunities.
Also, if you are undecided about Trents stencils, he just announced this is his last run of these so don't miss out. Get on the list before they are gone.
