I just wanted to say this thread has been very helpful in my real part obi journey!

Mine is still a work in progress, but here is a few glam shots.

I appreciate all the gentleman that assisted me/ sold me the parts for this build

What's the going rate for a Browning booster these days?

 

[corliss1]

andyroo - there's been a BUNCH of demand for them with the newfound balance pipes recently. Last one sold for $6000

 

[andyroo]

Whoa!

Just some warning on the browning .303 No. 199 726 on MJL in the U.K. at the moment.

I’m 99% sure the the booster is a replica.

 

[Halliwax]

Really nice job Chaim!

 

[Sym-Cha]

What makes you so sure? I am not doubting you, I am curious. The welding?

Lol one day… I need to work on my editing skills

I asked for a close up and see that it has been cut off and the weld bead glued back on.

Sneaky sneaky…

 

[cwoodreplicas]

I suspect they know - none of the listings have a description on them and the price is low for it.

Plenty of replica parts on the web for the aircraft restoration enthusiasts so could be someone completing one that we've butchered before!

 

[Marv]

Been sat on these for a while but decided today was just the right time to apply some updates to my savers

 

[The Ninja]

So I was able to recreate some more files for the new Picture Index by photo-manipulating several all real vintage parts lightsabers from my RPF Index :

My Real Found Part Obi-Wan Journey is complete.
I’m very excited to have this assembled and in hand, it is such an amazing feeling.

I went for a Chronicles Style and boy did it surpass my expectations.

It goes without out saying how excited I am. I just wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone in the community, and for those that helped me source, those who sold me the parts, and helped me with my questions on this journey, you know who you are

Here are the glam shots, although pictures don’t do this justice.

A beauty to be sure, congratulations.

Although the rusted grenade is a little over the top movie-wise for me is absolutely perfect. I love it.
Now that is a saber that a hermit living on the wastelands of Tatooine would have on his belt.

Wonderful!

Thank you!

I was debating on getting it painted, but me personally it would take away from the originality of this grenade. I know it’s not 100% accurate for how rusted it is, but I’m sure if the prop was still around, it would be rusted too.
