Another recent commission finished (literally just a few hours ago): ANH V3 Stunt. Took seven tries before I got a good clean cast. It's almost without pockmarks thanks to a new gating system I've been toying with. It gives me clean casts but it also hinders cooling on some casts, so I'm still left tinkering with it.

Cast in a356 aluminium.

Very clean! I’m happy with the cast I purchased from you! Painted up to spec. Can’t beat a cast, just like the original!

Thank you! I hope it brings you much joy whilst in your possession. Get that emitter a dark grey and then it's up to spec!

0000 Steel Wool did the trick!

I think I used basic dark gray primer, the rustoleum color dark gray looks really good

Is the emitter actually gray? Or is is worn flat black paint? Thought to tell in the reference photos being black and white?

There are public photos of this in color

 

[EvanESB]

Got it.
Worn down flat black looks grey to me

 

[EvanESB]

Why would the prop team paint everything black besides the emitter? Doesn’t make sense to me.

Yes we have at least two photos showing the paint scheme. They’re not perfect but it’s easy to tell the drastic paint color difference. They’re in Halliwaxes v3 thread I think

Every once in a while in the movie you’ll see it too, if you catch a frame without the rotoscoping washing everything out lol

Even though some shots in the Death Star and the cantina show a more natural look, the Obi Wan saber at some point did look pretty black, and far away even moreso. It had a dark gold upper neck, probably the windvane, and the emitter was a scorched Inconel fitting, dark but more gray than the grenade body.

If you really simplify this… you’re looking at a straightforward color for the booster and grenade, neck color and then something to mimic the balance pipe

This one completely does the trick for me. Awesome!

Excellent! My pictures are also of this hilt, there are only a few out there, thanks to you sir.

I really like that gray on your emitter.

 

[EvanESB]

The pictures you guys both posted is your V3 in ANH spec?

 

[vadermania]

Mine is the one I was gifted back in 1997, now in ANH spec.

here’s a shot of the neck color during ESB choreography training

And yes, mine is also ANH, I copied some photos I was allowed to view, so make of my paint job what you will

 

[EvanESB]

Thanks for these resources guys! I didn’t see these pictures. Time to redress mine up.
