Roy is working on getting the best possible deal on metal replica MPP shrouds including wrinkle painted ... so bear with him

Oh yeah
sounds great, and I am in no hurry. Aiming for a full Vader suit before EP9 comes out I was going to do wrinkle paint on the Parks shroud, but then I noticed the not so accurate D-ring and decided to just sell it.

Just how inaccurate is the d ring on this thing?
That isn't really the issue(I think), it's more about the placement. It's attached directly under it, which it shouldn't be.

Oh, I can live with that.

and some close ups of my distressing-in-progress, far from finished. No rust just an acrylic wash(red and tiny bit of yellow paint)

Excellent paintjob ... looks real rusty indeed ... about your pommel ... the hole for the D-ring should be around 4 o'clock in regards to the clamp ... not almost in line with the clamp
Chaim
Thanks
That I read I just put it together quickly in order to take some photos with my cellphone. I haven't even added the actual d-ring yet. And I have no idea what is "screen accurate" as far as the graflex clamp screws goes. Looking at other people's Obi sabers they differ in appearance. Should both screws look like the one I have attached or should the one that is missing NOT have the outer ring. Some sabers have it, on some it's missing :confusedMight be better to ask Roman directly but is the, um cylinder part between the emitter and the grenade supposed to lose? :unsure

That is called the 'windvane' and yes it should be able to rotate ... as for the 'screws' you mean 'transistors' ... well the Tunesia OB1 saber had the same 2 still on completely, whereas the one OB1 saber in Mechanismo/Chronicles book had the first transistor without a 'washer' attached.

If the windwane is too loose then you could place a small piece of tape on the shaft and screw the vane over it. That is what I did.
BTW. It seems that the grenade is on backwards in these pics. The beveled end should be at the top.

Now that you mention it ... that's what looked off to me ... I just could not figure out what was going on ... :wacko

Added some more fake rust to another.... part of the saber and I think the "rust texture" is a lot better than what I achieved on the grenade. I also flipped the grenade around :$
I skipped my cellphone and used my Nikon instead.

Different lighting setups for each of the full photos.
Great idea
Amen, va faa-aan :facepalm GO ME :lol
transistors huh? Okay "transistors" it is. I guess I will go with both washers attached. Dank je

Small update - destroyed the lever and got it a little closer to ESB accuracy

More Obi-Wan Kenobi goodness:
Finally added the D-ring and also added a lot more weathering.
Checking out how it looks with a different pommel
And a none-lightsaber related xmas gift from myself to me:
I haven't done many model kits in my years, so this fiarly simple and very straight forward kit was very nice
Will post a few beauty shots after I have added the necessary CG setting for it.

Took these three photos and animated them:
I must say, the model does hold up better than I expected.

Finally added the circuit board under the bubble strip. After carefully using my dremel to cut it down to the right size. And then sand the bubble strip a little, in order for them to actually fit in the clamp.
smells like six digits
