OR co 77

This is an old saber I've modified adding new ribbed extension, cutting shroud and heavily weathering it. It's a long hilt (13'), and the boxes are as close as possible to the pommel to let a one or two hand area free and slick. It has an ols MR luke (maybe the only thing left to be upgraded someday.

Parece como si hubiera visto bastante jaleo, me gusta (aunque por el momento me gustan más los "limpios")... ˇFantástico Vlad!

Looks like it´s seen a lot of action, I like it (although I prefer "clean ones" ATM)... Fantastic Vlad!

This is what I love to see. People reworking their old sabers, rather than just building a new one as fancy takes. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I like the idea of a saber growing with you, having some history and true ageing! haha Great stuff Vlad

That's it. Sometimes, I look at one of my sabers and I think mmmf, there is something wrong or missing..... Maybe I'm gonna do some changes, even sabers can have other lifes...
Nevertheless, I'm impatient to end with my new one...

Nice saber. I say go with PC-U but stick with the Light Meat font since its Luke ROTJ based.

me digas!
has a sort of TFU/Kota look about it. 13" is a bit long, but gives you more leverage for deuling! ; )

It's very comfortable, nothing bothers..The hilt is a bit long because I included a crystal chamber when I built it at the very beginning.
