Force FX Conversion Tutorial Re-uploads

Since Photobucket's third-party hosting is broken, several of the tutorials on The Custom Saber Shop's Forums are now next to useless, as the photos present you with a giant "Upgrade your account" icon instead of the photos. I thought I'd help out the community by copying the images to an Imgur Album with the text from the TCSS forums, since the original posts aren't much use at the moment.

I've linked below the tutorials for the posts which are affected, and reference original posters in album descriptions, with links to the original posts. All credit where it's due:

Luke Skywalker ROTJ Force FX Conversion

Anakin Skywalker ROTS Force FX Conversion

Obi Wan Kenobi ROTS Force FX Conversion

Hasbro Kit Fisto - To be completed

HFX Obi Wan ROTS - To be completed

Yea, but will Imgur ever do the same thing?

Probably, as nothing is ever guaranteed. But it's a good alternative for now.

I was not aware there was a way to get the pictures.. We tried contacting the original people who posted them with no luck.. If you can get me the pictures I will host them on our server so they can never go away again.

I still have the images for the HFX 2010 Anakin rots for the tutorial I posted. The images may still be working for now, but they will not after march. I will re-upload in them to imageshack account when I can find the time.

I had to use a Chrome plugin that bypasses something with Photobucket's hosting, and it allowed me to save the photos locally. I'll throw them up in DropBox and get you the links.

Thanks!!

You computer hackers. Electronics guys.....crazy bunch you all are! It'd be good to get those threads repaired, because they're asking a gazillion questions a second in that forum.

I was gonna suggest that, or offer my server for the same purpose.

Got those 3 fixed... looks like vader is missing a few as well.

The 05 Mace Windu is also missing some.

Really happy to see this! Those tutorials are what got me into this hobby in the first place.

Got the HFX obi, Fisto, and Vader done..

Thanks for all your work Tim! Those threads were always awesome for converting sabers. I learned Kylo from those forums. I have since developed better, easier methods than the tutorial, but the tutorial is still pretty relevant...minus the disassembly of the bottom half. Better to leave it together.

Managed to snag those ones as well and just sent them over.

I'm happy to re-do the Vader (both a 2005 MR and 2015 BS if needed Tim. Have done over 50 of them.

BS could definitely use its own tutorial since there are a few differences.
