I would love trying my own weathering. Unfortunately I have missed all runs ;-(

I totally didn't spend time and money today fixing my little grub screw issue on my V2. What kind of OCD freak would I be?

My question might already be answered somewhere but, why is there a difference between the genuine one and the replica ? Is that to kill the Graflex copyright and to give a close version of a canon clamp ?
That weathering is truly great indeed. . . However ... you say you use a real clamp on your V2, so here's my question : Does your 'X' line up like so? (see picture below)

Or does your 'G' and 'X' line up as seen on these pictures?

I was fortunate enough to be hired by a client to paint one of Dan's V2 sabers. I am waiting on a pack of Mystery Chunks and I have to add the dimple and notch in the rod, but the paint work is more or less done.
I do have brown on the windvane, but it isn't really showing up too well in these photos. I may add another brown layer.
He requested I leave off the gaffer tape.

Instead of copyright infringement, which is zero and void since G R A F L E X stopped producing their flashguns eons ago . . . so I think it has more to do with giving us a so-called 'tell' between a real vintage G R A F L E X clamp and a replicated new clamp by current clamp and flashgun makers, hence the G and X always line up correcty with the tab holes to tell us it's a genuine vintage part

Thank you ! I was questioning myself for a long time about that, it all make sense now. I think it's great to make a difference between a genuine G R A F L E X and a replica one. It helps people being aware of what they've got. And it's nice to give people a metal clamp with Graflex graved on it by telling them, in some way, that it's a replica, and not a fake "real one".
Thank you
Thank you

Finished my unibody V2! Went with an AFBB finish. Already have a weathered V2. Thanks Dan!
Cleaned up the emitter face line a bit plus more photos showing the cone knob & mystery chunk:

That color scheme is so cool. It reminds me of the Icons Obi-Wan replica, basically alternating black and silver bits. That saber's got some mojo!

This looks great. Really nice job.
I was in on the first run and asked for one with unscratched parts to do an AFFB then decided to do a weathered one, then did nothing with it. Now I'm thinking this looks really cool again.

Thank you! I need to clean the emitter face line up a bit, but yeah I love the look. Since I already have a weathered version of this saber, I wanted to do something different with this one. I based my decisions on which parts to paint from some renderings that Roy had.

Precision tip cotton swabs and some paint thinner are your best friend when it comes to cleaning up edges like on the emitter lip.

I really like this as an AFB. You did a great job with it and it looks awesome!

Got all my parts in the mail today and yesterday! I'm as happy as a puppy with 2 peters!
Did some quick fit-up and assembly.
