Battle Damaged V2
« on: March 24, 2014, 08:16:10 PM »
Hey guys,

Just sharing a few pics of my in-progress V2 modifications! I added battle damage around the recharge port and heavy weathering on the neck. Hope you like them.









Love, The Princess of Lightsabers

The weathering's looking great!  It's a very nice V2 so far - keep up the good work!

Very cool!  I like the battle damage a lot. IMO, V2s need to look really beat up - more beat up than the screen-accurate prop. My V2 has a fully weathered clamp and pommel section and I love it!

Alos, I always wondered how blue looked on a V2. Its certainly different, but rather nice.

Gotta agree with Verc on this! A v2 should look like a relic, and this is shaping up really cool! Keep it up, Princess!
May the force be with you. Always.

Very nice, always fan of more V2  :D

Looks like something exploded inside that one!
While this is something I'd not do, it doesn't look bad either, nice work  ;)

Thanks so much everyone!

My inspiration for the damage around the recharge port was when the blaster bolt hit Luke's hand during the Sarlacc scene. Which I thought was pretty clever :D

I'll post more pics when I further my upgrades of the electronics. Right now she's got a Spark board, 10W GGBB, and Father's Son sound font.

Didn't think about that, pretty clever indeed ^^

Great job on the weathering! Great idea about the recharge port! 

The blue works for me.

.....but is it done? ;)  Can we ever say it's done?  ::) You see something else, then you go "Ah ha"

It looks great. Keep up the good work.

I haven't made a decision yet! I love my spark board, but who doesn't have the urge to always upgrade their sabers!? (Darkjedi hehee) I would love a thicker bass with my speaker and a stronger battery though.

Thanks for all the weathering compliments, it was worth the work!

For those of you digging the blue saber... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CU6YwN2pDCM   [The way it was meant to be]. Brownie points if you know why Lucas changed the color!!!

Very nice... I have a Blue bladed ROTJ v2 as well. Of course to go along with my green bladed ROTJ v2 of course. I believe Caine has a blue too.
