Hi folks!
Just thought i'd share my Obi ANH with you.
It's a bog-standard Parks (boo...hiss....) with improved calc bubbles, nice transistors with decals from JDPilot, and a screw/curved-metally-thing- and alu foil....lots of various paint techniques and some evr so slightly violent hammer work.

Looks fantastic, like it's spent 20 years in the Tatooine desert. A great finish/paint job goes a long way on a Parks saber, you have a good looking saber.

That looks great. The Luke V2 and the Obi-wan saber have always been my favorites when it comes to how realistic the weathering looks.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one actually lit up! Great job on the weathering.

Reminds me of something I did a couple years ago on a MR ROTJ Luke :



The feeling of beating up a high end licensed prop replica is priceless lol

Awesome! It definately looks like it has some age to it. I like it better then any of those that have that pristine look to them. Makes it feel more authentic.

Damn that's a fantastic transformation if there ever was one - warmest regards mate!!

I agree that it looks like it's be buried for many years in the desert and its great to see how brilliantly a parks can be modified…

Although certainly not as worked over as yours, this is how I finished my Parks a few of years ago.

Cheers for sharing and enjoy..

Highest regards
