A long time ago... in fact in January 2017, I started a Luke ROTJ V2 3D model.
I had my 3D printer just a few months earlier and I wanted to give a shot to the V2.
Before I went on this project, lightsabers & blasters didn't interest... I was just a stormtrooper helmet lover.
I played a lot EA's 2015 Battlefront and sometimes in the game menu it was possible to see the ROTJ V2. And I thought "What a gorgeous lightsaber, that weathering, all that damage". Then, I don't remember how it happened but we talked about it with Benjo.
I began to love this saber, and I ran deeply in the V2's thread, I analyzed every reference picture, and then I started my model.
In the past year, I did 17 variants of my 3D saber, each one with a special detail (accurate or not). I did a prototype print and that was it. All the time spent in the modeling without getting the satisfaction I wanted.. I was tired of it...
Then a few months ago, Benjo gave me some motivation and, with some final tweaks, I printed him the V2. You'll see, it's not a common. We wanted it to feel real, heavy, battled. Thanks to morgan63, we managed to have 2 genuine cones knob from Michell Turntable, to make it look even better.
Now, it's time for me to give a shot to a printed V2 (BTW: I won't modify the model anymore). It will be a slow build since I'm not a great painter and I want to do it right
Here are shots of the model, and the print. I hope you'll like it
I also want to thank everyone who, somehow, helped me during the modeling
