MKIII ANH for Silentsteeple

This is pretty much a classically weathered ANH Obi.  However, silentsteeple sent me some very particular reference pictures of the ANH obi that he likes and asked me to replicate the look.  I have done so to the best of my ability.  It is a mixture of Bronzium and classic black weathering techniques and the "rusted" grenade looks truly rusted.  According to LDM Jr., "this is the most awesome Obi saber I ever saw, in my whole life..." According to me, it looks pretty darned much like the picture.

Particulars:
MKIII (LDM designed) hilt
Petit Crouton v3 (Obi package) w/3.7V Hack
MKIII Optics Module
Rebel RGB (SkyBlu, IceBlu and PearlWhite blades and various FoC)
Triple-Baked Classic and Extreme Bronzium weathering
3.7V (18650) 3000 mAh pack
LDM 26mm HO speaker in Machined Resonance
RGB scrolling bargraph-style Faux crystal chamber

That looks just great and weatherings are fabulous, GG! Again, another beautiful saber created by yourself! Also wish I could jump into this run. Hopefully someday!

Iv'e long been a fan of your MK III,  Marc, and love your bronzium weathering, but this is by far my favorite! The textured black and bronzium combination is Perfect and that bar graph in the feaux chystal  is awesome. Makes me seriously think of shooting you a PM, lol!

That's a purdy saber. I love the choice of blade colors, Love the Bronzium (As always).

LDM Jr. Was right!
"Many years I have been on this ship teaching many a Jedi before you, and I will continue teaching many a Jedi after you. Call me what you want, but inside my memory banks I contain a record of every lightsaber ever made, and the Jedi who fashioned it."

 >:(

...and I just looked over the pics again. Bro, I have never seen a better weathering job on any Obi that you have ever done that compares to this one...and you know I have seen your past Obi's!  Makes me tempted to book my yearly business trip ASAP to your area so I can drop by and give her a look.
