Caine's MKVI V2 GoodnessI decided that it was time. Time to make my everlong quest of owning a fully duelable thin necked as accurate as possible V2 come to life. Originally when I commissioned this, I had it made into a V3 and although I liked it a lot, it didn't quite "do it for me" the way a Luke saber should. I didn't have it done into a V2 initially because I didn't want to own 2 different V2's...but then I thought to myself, "Dude...this MKVI DESERVES the V2 treatment....this is what you wanted ever since you saw Madcow's original V2 video back in 2009...Do it!"...So I did, LOL.
Voiding the warranty and gutting the PC 1.5 and sending the hilt to GENERAL GRIEVOUS for a superb weathering job was the next step. Upon receiving it back, it got the special treatment...in many ways I stayed simple, but it still turned out cool as could be. I am one happy dude.
