Hey gang,
Way back when, I got in on the RPF exclusive Obi saber. I have everything except the clamp and bubble strip. If anyone knows where to get those, post up :cool.
But, my real question is, how should I finish it; as we see it on film, or like MR's "as first built by"? The problem arises from the simple fact that I already have an "as seen on film". It's one of Parks' saber kits (came with the vader), from way back when he still honored sales.
I'm really happy with the weathering job on that saber, but we know it has inaccuracies, due to limited knowledge of the pieces, back then. So now I have this incredibly accurate, RPF exclusive, saber, and I'm stuck as how to finish it. On the one hand, I don't want two of the same saber. On the other hand, an "as first built by" doesn't actually exist, outside of MR. There's the option of selling the Parks saber, but there is that sentimental attachment, considering all the grief I went through, to actually obtain it. Plus, I REALLY like the way the weathering turned out :lol.
I don't know... post up some opinions or arguments to sway me one way or the other. I've been saring at this saber for so long, it's starting to weather, itself :lol.
