:eek So much want. Are the [assuming acrylic] holders something you adapted, or were they custom made?

Custom made @ForceSensitivAL

Reminds me of the holders on oohyeahzone. I designed some similar shapes and used a 3d printer. My biggest setback so far has been that most sabers, especially heavy ones like the Roman Obi, lean and fall to one side. I have converted Hasbro Vader that, when centered on such a holder, just completely flies off. :cry
Yeah @ForceSensitivAL !, those are the ones I've based on!!! I've saved the picts from the website many years ago, hoping to have a collection and make one of these one day... [emoji16]
Very nice indeed. Have you had any trouble with balancing the hilts?
Sorry for the nearly year long bump, but I've decided my next purchase is going to be a Roman's Obi saber. While I think the weathered saber as it comes from Roman looks great, after looking through this thread I think at some point I would want to weather it more. With that in mind, should I just get a machine finish and do my own or can I simply add on to the weathering Roman has already done?
Thanks for sharing your builds everyone. These will all be extremely helpful.
You can't go wrong starting with the weathered version. That way if you want to mess with it, it's just a matter of tailoring the weathering to your liking. Unless you're planning on going all out with the chemicals and stuff. In that case it really wouldn't matter.

Hi all, this is Tintoy here. I am a Star Wars fan since 1977 but was only introduced to Roman Props' MK1 back in 2015, bought the weathered version & loving it.
Recently I decided to modify it (after watching many of the vintage version), trying my best to make it look like more vintage & more toward the Chronicles version.
it took me many good weeks exploring & trying & i am glad the result came out nicely.

That looks so good! I love the work you did with the GRAFLEX clamp :thumbsup
Very nice!
Here's one that I recently completed with a real Graflex clamp, vintage transistors and a chime pommel upgrade. It started out as a machine finish kit. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/a14cef1f7d7c3b5c844669fc12096c92.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/94b3de20b7f006650cbba7bbbc20a9d4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/3e555970e2ac7c47bad7bc537d37d9b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/5ef59b2fd692267b7eec65541f64e9e4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/3bc762d7f07a03715603bda1d7926f5d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/e33b19dc4ead1c485f992f7f5de0812a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/6981020cd8a87099c3a9d686bc44af34.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180404/e91ec07a86162530d52df3413c098cef.jpg
