BK4- weathered version by LDM and Beggarsoutpost

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Weathered BK4 by LDM and Beggarsoutpost

This is a multi-sabersmith project. The weathering was done by Beggarsoutpost and LDMCustomsabers did the Electronics install and conversion. Had to change it structurally to hold everything. I "weathered" it a scoche more as well. I am very pleased with how it turned out over all. BTW, this saber is the "Star" of Nova's new video "Give me back my BMT" so make sure to check that out.

[Lawrs1]

Yet another sweet saber LDM, wish I could turn them out the way you do :lol:

[Crystal Chambers]

Awesome...I loved the second vid.

[jedimastergarcia87]

Yeah yeah. Sweet Obi-wan hilt dude. My favorite of your hilts so far.

Also, how do you use those graflex styled switches? I'd really like to use one for my next hilt.

Really? A replica huh...hmmmm...well to each his own I guess.;) As far as the switch goes, there are great pictures of it in the Homage to Caine's V2 thread.

[jedimastergarcia87]

I can't see how you did that switch too well. x.x And to me it does look like Obi-wan's hilt. Was it not character based? Sorry.

[Jedi-Loreen]

The "Graflex style switch", is just a momentary tactile switch that's mounted under the clamp so that the clamp lever can press against is.

One of these type of switches:

You can see one of these in the Build pics above, in the pic in the lower left corner, it's above and to the left of the speaker in the pic.

LOL, yes it is Obi-Wan's hilt.;) Nothing to be sorry about!~

[cardcollector]

Woah, that bubbly blue strip is awesome!!!!

OH, I Loooooove the video! Props to you guys!

[Jedi-Loreen]

The bubble strip is blue and green. ;)

[cardcollector]

I know, but I like the blue better than the green...
So I ignored what I didn't like.:rolleyes:













That's what I get for only focusing on the positive...:(;)

[Lord Dottore Matto]

LOL, I am just glad you like it. Remember, Sithslayer requested B & G. My photo-fu is weak. It looks great in person.;)

[Sairon]

Another awesome saber,the weathering and such is perfect, nice job.
