Show off your RE weathered Obi sabers!

[Ridire Firean]

Hey Gang! I'm certain Romans Empire mentioned it, but I can't find my bookmark for it, and Search and Google are no help today...

What was the replacement part # for the hole plug cap in the end of the pommel from Lowes/HomeDepot?

I have an idea I want to mess with tonight, but I don't wan't to buy the wrong thing and have to drive back to the hardware store. Thanks if you can help!

Boolean's for next time...

Romans Empire, RomanProps Mk1, Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber, FX-Machine Finish, Armitage Shanks style AS Handwheel, Pommel, Plug, Hole, Cap, Lowes, Home Depot.

I don't have the link ATM, but Lowes carries the correct PLUGS which are 1 1/8".

EDIT: Can't find the right size online. Only find 1" or 1 1/4"... but they do have them in store. They're typically in the Specialty Drawers across from the nuts & bolts.

AWESOME! Romans Empire ! THANK YOU SIR! Headed there now!

Edit: UPDATE!
Back from Lowes, here's what you're looking for...

... it's a Hillman 1-1/8" Metal Hole Plug No. 881270. ISBN 008236716610.

Thanks again for the reminder Roman! Now I have something to play with over the Holiday Weekend!

I'm slowly beating the hell out of mine. I used some aluminum black and a toothpick to put some tarnish dots on the clamp.

I like that! Looks like one of my projects that I’m in the middle of. Weathering to come later.

 

[eethan]

[Ridire Firean]

Hey teecrooz ! DUDE THAT CUTAWAY'S CRAZY! I'm looking forward to seeing how the LEGO Train Tracks play a part in this build.

Thats Art!

 

[russellsch]

teecrooz, that cutaway is insane!! I can't wait to see it evolve further into greatness.

Oh, & xbadcardx, brilliant job on the clamp with aluminumblack. That looks amazing!!!

Petowalker is your grenade hinged? That's astounding!!

I got my RE Obi-Wan mostly reassembled. I've had it apart for a long while now, as I replaced replicated parts for real parts as I found them.
I wanna weather up the clamp & I have to get the transistors on. I however did put Romans new & improved handwheel (hot) on, & I have one of Spirit of Obi1's crystal reveal chambers on it now.

I'm thinking about getting a two tiered lightsaber stand, & displaying this with its real parts brother together. Until then, this is its home.

 

[Peacefrog35]

That looks really good!!!! I think I need one of those crystal chambers!
I did some more weathering in my balance pipe.

You can get yourself another from Roman But finding another box like this will be tough..

 

[Halliwax]

That box is awesome!

 

[LTsmash1200]

Yeah the box really sets it off.

 

[danzig]

That box is awesome!

I agree.Its a perfect fit..Heres a pic of the box posted by Zombie Killer years ago,before he added the red fabric.I can't decide which looks better..with or without.Feel free to chime in

I personally like it without. You should get some brown material close to that of OWKs robe, distress and dirty it up and then wrap it in some of that. That would look cool.
