I have them! I went through them to sort out the seconds, and then put them in a box during a move
I’m going to try and throw them up in the JY this weekend.
Thanks Andy!
The dynodes are from a real photomultiplier. I’ve been sitting on them for years for when I get around to a Vader Reveal.
Luke V2 update time!
This is an Anakin Starkiller V2 with a real clamp, a slothfurnace card, a Trooper_trent neck tape spacer and paint templates.
This hilt was assembled, weathered, painted and expertly banged around by none other than Halliwax! I’m so happy to finally have a finished accurate version of this saber in my collection. I have the MR and have had every iteration of Starkiller V2, but never got around to finishing one myself. I can’t thank Danny enough for all the time and effort he put into completing this for me. There are a lot of little special touches he added for me. Now he just needs to finish his own saber!
*public service announcement. I believe Halliwax is done taking commissions, so please don’t bombard him with requests.

That is a gorgeous V2. Well done!

Halliwax is the Michelangelo of the v2
That is a stunning piece, Teecrooz. Congrats!

Thanks Chris, and guys for the comments! Chris waited a stupid long time for this. Winter kicked my butt. I even invested in some electric heaters to try and make it so I could work in my shed
But they couldn’t keep up in the Jan,feb weather..
Though he sent me a extra set of stencils I always feel like a failure if I have to use the back up. The cold weather was way to risky to paint...
I aged it many months before winter, and when I broke it out of storage to finish I realized Chris’s V2 was the only V2 I handled where the ring section had remaining machine marks
I didn’t pick up on it at the time of the acid dipping, so I had to chemically strip off the finish, sand it all by hand and start over, I hate doing this because I want to match the age finished. Thankfully with my dipping technique, you can match the age finish perfectly (4 dips @ 5 min )
I normally have to sand the boosters on the FX version. But Chris did a flawless job sanding and polishing that up!
Another thing that totally blew my mind was Chris’s custom work he did to the FX mystery chunk, I plan on doing the same thing to mine when I have the time.
I machined up a new emitter denter jig, and new tools, if you look at Chris’s emitter the dents match the paint chips, it even has a perfect halo around it. I hope I can match this all on mine
I have to apologize again Chris for taking so long, i have close to 70 hours tied up into this baby, take good care of her I miss her already
I can’t thank you all enough for the support!

Nicely done Halliwax I regret selling my V2 almost daily....
Thank you!!
I don’t have this in hand yet, but it should be on the way. Big thank you to mugatu for looking out for me once again.
I didn’t think I would get around to building an EE-3, and was inspired by Art Andrews build thread here: Boba Fett Pulce 40 Empire Strikes Back Pistol
