Anakin Starkiller FX V2 - Aging Weathering & Stencil Tutorial (Master Thread)

Thought this was cool, vintage graflex on eBay today with a broken clamp like the v2

I noticed that the color change in the ANH Obi Wan pics happens at the groove in the neck. They painted to saber body and the emitter piece separately.
 
Also, I seem to have received Solo’s hold stencils for my Anakin Starkiller saber... don’t know how, but does anyone think the stencils would work on the Starkiller anyway? They aren’t that off to my eye.

Did you order them from me through my store? or get them second hand? I try to be very careful when I send out each order to make sure it's the right version but I very well could have made a mistake.
send me a message with the order number so I can take a look and I'll send you out the correct ones.
 
It was just how the dents on the emitter line up on a static hilt like KR Sabers v2.

This guide is great for reference but where was the Trent stencil red line? Is it here for example (see red line)?

Hope all is well and we've all had a great Xmas. ... and halliwax is recovered after your fall? Were you able to help with above?
 
Oh my god I keep on forgetting!! This is terrible, I’m so sorry. Can you bump this thread tonight for me

It literally will take me 3 pictures to explain, I’ve just been so freak’n busy with family and the holiday I keep forgetting

Gotta tie a ribbon on my finger
 
Sorry, I forgot to post my update.

So basically, a few months back, if y'all remember, I parted off the emitter and pommel from my unibody V2. It was a touch troublesome, facing/squaring the underside of the booster section, because I didn't have a steady rest for my little Sherline lathe.

Well, I finally got myself a steady rest, and I've had this lathe since 1998! I do NOT believe that I went this long without one, it is a godsend.

So, I was able to clean up/true all the areas that needed it, and now I'm comfortable listing it on eBay.

Though I really do hate to see it go, it's a really nice hilt, got a lot of heft, and best of all it's now a three piece!

So, at some point in the next few days, I'll be listing this for sale, along with my newest custom Macros and a fully electronicized Graflex 2.5 lightsaber!

Apologies for the ridiculous number of pictures!

Thank YOU, I actually have an extra set of older stencils for the "unibody" (that will be included in the auction, along with a different Slothfurnace card, but no clamp), I just never used them.

It was a freehand "In-the-Spirit-Of"/close enough paint job that's changed here and there over the couple-three years I've had it.
