7 Chambers "The Old Republic" Sith Acolyte Hilt

[APOLLO IND]

Thanks to 7 Chambers, one of my dream hilts has finally come to be made. This rendition is beautifully machined from aluminum, and is truly an awesome and accurate rendition of a Sith Acolyte Hilt. I believe I was the first to purchase this awesome beast of a hilt from him! ( Also I know Vaders Vault does a great version as well! I wanted something more DIY though )
This thread will be dedicated to the Sith Acolyte Hilt from Star Wars The Old Republic. I will be doing all the weathering, and installing it myself with a Proffie 2.2 as soon as 7 Chambers releases the chassis for this beast! If you're interested, or you manage to get one of the 100 made, feel free to follow along as I post updates on how I weather and build the internals of this beauty!

Okay well, it’s all done and I forgot to post updates on the thread...oops. Anyways it turned out great. I wanted a scrappy, yet old republic themed hilt, so I came up with “THE SCRAPOLYTE” I used an old V3 clamp, a Korbanth long lever, leather wrap, a kobold, some brass screws and a brass D-ring, a Slothfurnace V2 clamp card, and installed it with CFX and neopixel. I did damage to the hilt and blacked it with aluminum black as well.
