Luke ROTJ Version 2 (as first built) completed!

[darthmorbius]

Hello there! The cone came with a threaded insert in the bottom. I drilled and taped a hole in the hilt to match. I then JB Welded the threaded rod into the cone. It now just screws into the hilt. Are you planning on doing a V2?

I'll be using my cone knob as a recharge port Kill key on my V2 that I am building with a CF V2.61 and Lux V Green.

Darth, have you ordered your knobs yet? I have not gotten around to it yet. Too many other projects on the plate right now.

I just emailed Kenny about 20 minutes ago to confirm an order (3rd email, I don't think he got the others). I ordered 4 of them.

That's good that the cone knobs are shipped Tyrannus, one less part to wait for.

[darthmorbius]

Yeah, it just means one more thing on the completed list! ;)

Looks great! What kind of paint did you use for the black?

[robiwan]

Thanks for the compliment. I used regular Testors Flat Black spray paint for models. You can find it at any hobby shop or store like Walmart.

Is there different sized graflex clamps or something cuase I looked at my brothers graflex clamp that he got from somewhere and It dosent look like it will fit on the luke hilt.

I thought people had to use the MRFX clamp thingy to make a v2?

[GRAND MOFF TARKIN]

You need a clamp from a MR Luke ESB saber.

That is really nice work, Owen! I like the black/silver combo.

Thanks Boxster. I wasn't the first to build a V2 and wont be the last. Darth Tyranus is building one as we speak that will trump mine pretty good. Make sure you check out his thread as well.

[Boxster]

Yeah, having seen his! Man, the colour combo's really nice! Kinda reminded me of a Stingray in full black and chrome trimmings/bumpers. There seems like a mystery that surrounds the hilts that both of you are building. This is one exciting project and I am going to look closely into it!!!
