First Ever Hfx Obi TPM Conversion by LDM

[Lord Dottore Matto]

This is the first ever Hasbro Fx Obi-wan TPM conversion. Please do not try this one at home, at least until a conversion kit becomes readily available. IMO this is the most difficult Fx saber to convert, and as most of you know, I have converted every kind many times over. It has some "battle damage" (from me battling with taking it apart...Damn that sucker had a lot of Monkey snot on it)

On to the show!

Particulars:

Seoul P4 Blue
Uber-custom LDM Optics & Aluminum BH Module
buttonhead screws replacing fake LED bezels (these hold the BH in place)
All else stock
Extra special "weathering" ;)

Sorry, in the interest of not harming TCSS's business, I have decided not to post build pix. Tim is working on a conversion kit which will make hte conversion easier. I can say that the BH is "asymmetrical" and is open at one end (moreso open than normal):wink:

And Thanks guys~

[Kal El Rah]

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Oh, no worries, LDM. I was just trying to bait you into disassembling it again.
Lol. Not surprised it didn't work.
