MHS plus acerocket pommel TPM Obi WIP

**Xanatos1986** · 04-02-2012, 10:21 PM

Ok so one of my favorite hilts of all time is Obi Wans from TPM and AOTC, I know they have little differences but I love it. Well I am not able to get into any runs and I was not able to get on the Obi run... So I decided to make MHS version and obviously I needed a acerocket pommel... So I went to FX and found one from a very awesome member, but I havent seen her on in forever

anyway here is my work in progress. Its not much but here are the pics.

I started with the acerocket. I had this for months before even buying any other parts lol

here almost all the parts except the shroud piece near the pommel that will give me my grip section, I got a plan for that, that I learned from Jay Gon

Here is what I got so far with the parts assembled. its starting to look like it to me.

more to come as soon as there is an update.

how did/will you mount the trimring on top of the bladeholder?

**Xanatos1986** · 04-03-2012, 08:48 AM

it was not mounted at the time, but I will mount it with some epoxy.

Good start. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

I made an MHS based Obi-Wan a couple of years ago. Here's the build thread. You might find it useful.

At the time, TCSS didn't sell the MHS sleeve material, so I had to source it elsewhere and have the MHS parts turned down. You don't have to do that now.

Thanks that does help. Great build.

How are you attaching the top ring?

Ignore the above how sturdy is epoxy?

Could you not have someone mill down the thicker bit of a BH 18 to match the top bit.
