My (underconstruction) V2

[2saberjedi]

i have already posted this @ TCSS fourms so i thought i should post it here too

i have had this saber about 4 years and it is my fave saber now that im working on a V2 with it i love it evin more

TCSS Blade Holder
LUXIII Green bin1 (Thinking of switchin out for Blue P4)
havent ordered the kone knob yet but will soon
need to find d-ring but not to fussed if i dont
mite not use ESB clamp (thinking of makeing my own)








my v2 is useing a 3/4 PVC blade with over 6 feet of gift wrap and 10 degree lens


3/4in pvc blade left is with 400cm of film rite is without film

Great job! That weathering near the emitter is awesome, and you seem to have thinned the neck down! :o ;) ;)

This is where i ask how bright that PVC blade si... why don't you use poly-c like most people, or maybe even nylon. Is is Brighter in person?

Nice hilt BTW. The green P$ would also look good. I love that shade of green.

and you seem to have thinned the neck down! :o ;) ;)

no i just removed the copper paint added 6 thin coats of mate blak and sanded it down

the PVC blade is only in use tell i get 2 of TCSS Special White blades

an idea of mine to thin down the neck is to weld TCSS blade holder to the stock MR emiter (provided someone can do it) cut out the neck section and weld the threaded end to the blade holder but u will only make it thiner by 1mm maybe 2mm so not much is gaind and would weakin it alot i would think

Looking good so far...

Nope, probly won't weaken it too much depending on your welding/attaching skills.

Our own Darth Vader did this to his V2 not long ago.

It looks alot better/sleeker with the thinner neck section of the blade holder. Check the pics and discussion!  And if you decide to go that route, hit us up with some more pics!!!

(update)

i removed the black paint as i plan to re spray my V2 i also removed the led and replaced it with the mace led string to see if i wanted a blue V2 and to be honest i still dont know witch i will go with


first i wanted a hyper blade in my V2 but now i know i dont kneed it

i have to order a few things from TCSS b4 i can move on alil more with this project

Personally, I'd stay with the green, that bin 1 is one of the nicest shades I've ever seen.

[2saberjedi]

Green it is lol i have 3 blue led strip mr sabers so im sick of blue

i do want a red lightsaber though... maybe an amber but not for this saber  ;)

[Darth_Baleful]

Looking good. Nice weathering also. I agree, Green just goes with a Luke ROTJ, then again, it's Your saber!

[2saberjedi]

ok i now have a new ESB clamp but now i have to put it on the saber ... :( and i have no clue as to how im going to do it let along mount the switch :-\

im  starting to think i should use a bubble card in the clamp to me it looks better then the circut card

[generalSkywalker]

it all depends on wether or not you going movie acurate. if you want your v2 to be a nice custom one then go ahead with the buble tape but if you want to sacrifice quality for acuracy go with the circuit board (personaly i like the esb circuit board to the rotj circuit board)

[2saberjedi]

well i just paid for 2 cone knobs and i dont wanna try to find a bubble strip so i will just use the esb card... at the moment i hace a RGB led ith the blue wired in but idk

It sounds like you are unsure of certain parts....

I suggest Pastor Jedi's screen accurate card over anything else. Your choice of course, but a lot of us V2 peeps really like it. The link that General Kota posted below is PJ's ebay. That lever is probably one of the last ones made....if I were you I would snatch that thing up fast.

@general skylwaker: what to you mean 'esb' circuit card to "rotj' circuit card? there isn't a difference between either circuit card...most V2's have that style anyways...some smiths prefer to use the 'black' card as opposed to the 'natural' card, but that's all about preference.

[General Kota]

here is were you can get the lever and the card  ;)
