I really like how well it goes with the red blade. What grip material did you use?

I really like this saber! The shroud and rustoleum looks awesome and the red blade really compliments the rest of the saber!

Really nice look. One small tiny weenie suggestion...take the shrouds off and wet sand the aluminum to get rid of all the scratches. If you do that, this saber will be outstanding!;)

Very nice saber. Welcome to the forums.
To go olong with what Lord Dottore Matto said, I will recommend starting with a 400 grit sand paper, progressively working your way up to 2000 grit. It will not only help get rid of the scratches, but give a nice shine to the parts.

Rustoleum. ;)
Nice work.:)Ah, I love those rustoleum paints... they work wonders to make the saber look like "different" material. The grip spray rocks too. :)

Great looking saber, and I love that MHS choke point, hehehe

Really cool sabre you made there. I like how the hammered finish really makes the overlay stand out. The shaping of the cuts are really nice too.

I think LDM's suggestion of sanding the scratches would make it look even more pro.

Thank you for all the complimants and suggestions. I will get to the wet sanding in the near future. Thanks again.
