Hello everyone,


I'm new to the RPF, but i'm also a member of the Rebelscum, FX-Sabers, JediArchives & MintInBox forums.

My name's Peter, from France, and I'm a Star Wars prop collector/customiser.

This is my custom MR LE ROTJ Luke Skywalker Lightsaber :

Specs :

- Fully weathered (using various techniques)
- Neck and control box lid repainted in a more screen accurate color (bronze)

Currently on sale at www.mintinbox.net

Feedback appreciated

Thanks :cool

I sent him PM, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to be able to help me :confused

So if anyone knows where I can get my hands on a brass or copper neck for my saber, please let me know ! :thumbsup

Now THAT is how I'd imagine Luke's saber to look. I think you've done a fantastic job there!:thumbsup

Great work customising the saber.
It really looks as if it's seem some action.

Thanks everyone for the positive replies

It took me some serious time and effort to achieve the right amount of dirt and weathering...

I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

At first I was really afraid to do something like that to a $600 prop replica, but I like it muuuch better now :cool

Right now I have many other projects on the table, so I will trade/sell this baby.

If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me ! I would be eager to trade it for another MR lightsaber.

Very nice weathering! Takes guys to try that with a expensive prop.

Back in the day Jediscout (a lady) tossed an expensive saber down her driveway to weather it.
I'm sure she doesn't have "guys". :lol
Great job on the saber, it looks just right.
