Howdy ;D
I've seen quite a few v2's since I started on these boards. I didn't think I was ever going to do one. But the oppertunity came up and I figured, what the heck :) I have a similar project coming up, so I thought that this one would be a good test subject.
First off I used a Force Fx, and a BH from TCSS. The TCSS kit didn't work for this hilt so I improvised ;D
I used a 1.18 O.D. blade holder, and used the same method for converting the MR hilt. It worked, nice snug BH, very sturdy hilt. No complaints ;D
For the weathering I did a heat dry for the paint, and used a generous amount of Aluminum Black. More actually than I'm used to. Enough gabbin, some pics
So I'm not sure about anyone else out there, but I could have seen Luke making (using) a Blue blade. I dig the green, but I thought a bit of a change would be fun. So I went with blue. P4 of course ;D
I may do an "upgrade" on this one later. For now I have another one on the way for a local guy. Saw what I was doing with this one and wanted one of his own. Gotta love infectious hobbys ;D
edit: Just to be clear, the kits that Tim sells for the MR, will work for the MR version. This hilt has a bit of difference in I.D. near the emitter, thats why I used a blank BH.
