Empty MR V2 for The_Night

[GENERAL GRIEVOUS]

Empty MR V2 with machined accents for The_Night

The_Night asked me to take his empty MR ROTJ from bland to fantastic.  Well, I guess it is as fantastic as an MR can be, lol. First, I created a "Faux" Graflex clamp by milling the accents directly into the hilt (a la Madcow) replete with a replica graflex clamp box (set to MR scale).  Next, I thinned out the neck as much as was reasonable and added the machined groove on the neck.  I scratch built a cone knob (to MR scale) 8-32 screw as well.  I replaced the triangle D-ring with an accurate D-ring (once again to MR scale) and drilled and tapped the blade retention screw hole and the conversion kit retention screw hole.  Finally, I weathered it and triple baked/clear coated it.  He will be doing his own electronics.
