Bane, the Canon version with PC 1.3

Ultra Bane V1, The Canon Version

This is the Bane that I got from E57 about a year ago. I have been pondering what to do with it since then. I was talking with Jango a couple of days ago and he suggested that I do a Canon version (color-wise) so I did. The saber had holes for AV switches on both sides of the choke. I high heat epoxied the hole on hte bottom, let it cure, sanded it and then moved on to the 8 coats of textured paint. I used the same weathering technique on this one that I did on Atok Mhar (the new matte clear coat rocks). Since the canon blade color is purple, I went with that. For a sound font, I tweaked Korriban a scoche and I think it fits quite well. So, in summation, thanks to Madcow, Eastern57 and Jango fett for their contributions on this saber.

I love it!
The only thing I'd change is to move the switch to the opposite side of the saber, so you could look at it from the front and it would look exactly the same as in the comic.

Hmmmm...great suggestion! I will consider it on the next one!!! ;)

[equinox13]

very nice. i'm jealous of the fact that you can get matte clear coat, but i'll survive. ^_^ it looks rather short - what's the length?

[dgdve]

Very nice job filling in that "phantom" switch hole (lol)... always loved the truepurple led of yours.... gotta get me one of those soon (*ponders).. yeah real soon

[Knighthammer]

Looks good - really like the weathering effects.

Another awesome saber. The weathering is just perfect. Two thumbs up mate!
