Show off your RE weathered Obi sabers!

Hey guys,,does anyone know how to obtain the weathered look that the grenade section of the saber in this photo has?? Ive seen some weathered grenades turn out black,while others look greyish and some look more rusty brown.I am wanting the rusty brown look for mine..Ive heard Roman uses Perma Blue,but noticed all of his weathered sabers vary in color.So I was just wondering if anyone out there knows how to obtain the rusty look?Thanks

This will be going onto my weathered Romans. Or do others have a better recommendations for installing this on a Romans? I have yet to disassemble it, but I'll do that tomorrow. I'm still enjoying just holding it.

very nice score!
 
Speaking of sink knobs..I just bought another Romans sink knob the other day and its got a totally different finish than my previous Romans sink knobs.Instead of the high shine chrome,it instead has a flat aluminum finish and the top of the knob is a darker color..The difference is not as noticeable in pics...Did Roman change these up? Regardless,I like it ;)

Just amazing, that wall display is awesome, an inspiration to all, well done...
 
Love the wall display... how did you go about getting that done?

Like the actual hilt hangers... completely custom, or can I find them somewhere?
 
Thanks @Timbuktu !

Hi NeoRutty All custom, laser cut MDF, acrylic sheet for the backlight, 5m led strip, metal shelf brackets supports, and the most difficult 6 mm acrylic cuts molded on a "hanger shape" on my kitchen oven :)

that sure is a beautiful display!
 
Hey danzig! Looks like Roman's site shows the knob by itself is available in an 'fx' version and a 'standard' version, both are listed as chrome, but I bet he'd send you a chrome one if you asked him to swap out the 'machine finish' one you got. The knob you have is bare aluminum and the cap is steel, hence the difference in the finish and the difference in color. I like the look of it too,...

I REALLY WISH ROMAN WOULD OFFER THE WHOLE FX KIT IN STAINLESS STEEL!

Hey lmuzzin! That saber stand wall piece is awesome! I thought your last two would have been a Luke ANH or ESB and a.... Yoda maybe. Looking forward to seeing you get her filled up!

You'll have one halliwax , I've been dreaming with this beauty since the day I saw it for the first time, and while waiting for my other dream saber (Roman's Graflex replica) couldn't resist to pawn my kidney for this, and it was totally worth it (?) :love

Some Swedish inside information, IKEA are going to start selling brains next year. It will require some assembly but even brainless folks are supposed to handle it :p :lol

I hope you get your Obi-1 saber. Just keep chanting: "she will be mine, oh yes, she will be mine" ;)
