Thanks for the compliments! Your tutorial helped immensely.
Man, that clamp was a beast, aging it took the longest out of the whole project. Roman's plating is tough stuff.

After a saberforge conversion last year, get the luck to find an AS V2 from his second run, few weeks ago.
Roman's clamp, slothfurnace's clamp card, Roy's lever and a solo's hold version stencil (don't blame me ... even if the size are not the same, it did the job
)
Need to add the mistery chunk (dring has been add after the photos) and the gaffer tape.

Spectacular build! I love how your clamp came out... well the whole build! I had the hardest time even making a mark on my Roman clamp. That thing'll survive a nuclear holocaust. Great photos too!

Long time no post, I finally got the courage to weather my unibody V2!
Its not screen accurate or anything but I like the look of it being old and used.
Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! I'd love to know where I could improve!

I was gonna ask, what you DID do? Mine is all streaky from the sandpaper I used.
Anyone know a source for stencils on this? Would like my paint job as close to accurate as possible...
What version V2 do you have? Trooper trent is the original designer and creator of these stencils. He doesn’t make them anymore, but he is doing a new run for the new design.
You may be able to finagle a little and modify the new stencil to work on the old.
I believe I have one of the sabers from the first run. I may just have to go the eyeballing route, like we did in the olden days...
you could always hold off and wait for trents new run, give it a try?
Yes, that may be a good idea. Only problem is that would require patience on my part, lol.
Can we say "late to the party"? I wanted to show this off while it was still relevant. I am signed up for the new run, and will make every attempt to make that saber as 100% screen accurate as possible. Once I had signed up for the new one, I took accuracy on this a little less seriously and just had fun and instant gratification. You can see in the third pic, where I used masking fluid instead of a "stencil", and just eyeballed shapes from photos. While the shaping may not be very accurate, you can see how genuine the paint chipping comes out looking this way.

I'll admit, I've yet to use masking fluid yet. Seeing his results, I'm gonna have to give it a go. Plus, I think it looks great!
