Hi
Sometime ago there was a mention in a thread about GenerationX Sabers (www.generationsabers.co.uk).
And some members had concerns over the accuracy of his builds.
Partly because he is UK based like me, and partly because I don't need my props to be totally accurate (I don't have much money so very often can't afford the more expensive/accurate models) I went ahead and ordered his Ben Kenobi hilt from ANH (now called the Ob1v4).
During the making he told me he had got hold of some blueprints for this saber, and some of his others, and was updating them as he went along (in particular the Ob1v4 and the Kit Fisto one).
I received it last week and am very happy with it. The weathering is nicely done and it has a nice weight to it.
Here are some pics. (Sorry if they are too dark, camera is a bit crappy).

I am very happy with this, some may pick up on details, but to me it looks the part for the price I paid, and I'm just glad to finally own a saber hilt.
As a side note I found his service was perfect. He continually updated me by e-mail. He sent me pics of it being made. And it was done within the time he specified. What more could you ask for!!
BTW. I'm not trying to advertise his site or his sales, I only know the guy through this transaction. Just thought I'd give members a heads up on my experience and the fact that he's updating his hilts as he gets more info. If this is seen as advertising (like Ebay auctions) then please remove it.
Cheers
John
