Title: Archon v3.1 > ROTJ V2 Post by: mute3212 on August 19, 2016, 11:47:53 PM My take on the ROTJ V2. Sanding, lots. Flat black enamel paint. Aluminum Black, including brass section. Replica Graflex clamp and card.
This took a LONG time to complete. Didn't help that it took almost 3 months to get the replica Graflex clamp. Clamp is heavily modified to get it to fit over the larger Archon body. I may add some more weathering to the clamp. It's just a little too clean looking and a saber should look used and abused IMO :) Enjoy.

I also like the orientation of the control box to the switch . . . point awarded 8)

It's cool that you were able to get one with the Graflex writing on it, not all of them have that. Yes the clamp comes from a vendor that makes very high end components and screen accurate hilts (not sure if I can post the name?) It's identical to a vintage. Unfortunatly I had to cut off the lever screw and put in a longer one to attach it. The lever is glued into the bracket hole :( I will add some minor weathering to the clamp!
