I mean dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That just looks awesome.
I so hated this saber when I first saw it. Cross guard fine but it looked like it was made with Home Depot parts.
Now I must have it and wow do those look incredible.

I definitely undersold myself on this run. The paint job is definitely going to be higher on the V2. Still deciding in the back of my brain if I'll be using a black/blue gun blueing paint.
Also considering actual copper plating too. Really all depends on how far down the rabbit hole everyone is willing to go.
Your making me wish I had waited on the V2...

Noooo, get em both!
There is also a large market for the V1, I know there is a very large grouping of folks who want the V1 size and really still think the prop shop saber is too big.
A Saber like this will never be wanting for a new home if you decide to sell for the V2.
Maybe offer a resin "stunt" version too?

The 3d printed ones are in the range of 100 Euros. Not sure there is really a good place for a resin stunt prop.
Not that it's not a possibility
Not sure I would survive that conversation with my wife. She would force crush me with guilt....

I was gonna wait until It's finished but I've impressed myself so much I thought I'd post some progress pics. I've never painted anything before so I'm amazed at how well this is coming along. Think I might remake the resin insert too to add some extra detail to it.
Love this saber!
Sorry for the poor pics, was very dark when I took them.

You guys are doing a great job!!!! I'll post some of my paint job tonight!!!!
Here is a quick look at the V2 (on the right) compared to the V1.
As you all know the V1 was concieved way before the Propshop version came out. Now after reviewing the size differences we are making modificaitons accordingly.
We are also making Improvements all around to simplify assembly and increased accuracy. Still in the works but just wanted to show the size difference.

Just for reference, the V1 is nearly identical in size to the Graflex and ROTJ hilts:
That came out phenomenal!! At to go for your first time!!!
