Mustafar V2 Stunt...a weathered & burned mangle job...

[Lord Dottore Matto]

This is the second in my "Mustafar stunt" line. My weathering "style" is apparently "swirly & patterned heavy". This saber has a really cool green PCB in the activator box, a crystal pommel and a ton of black and grey enamel...

Particulars:

Lux III w/ custom heatsink
1A pulsedriver
3aa MR battery pack
Acrylic crystal w/resistored red 5mm accent

nice love the weathering on it

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Yup, looks burnt to me! Actually, with the red crystal in the pommel, it looks like it's still burning!

[Jedi-Loreen]

You shoulda melted the grips a little. ;)

[Lord Dottore Matto]

You shoulda melted the grips a little. ;)

Well...Hmmmmmm...I suppose I could find a torch somewhere....:lol:

[Tradeliphine]

very sweet, is that an mr converted or one of those graflexes yout just got? and yea I agree with jay the crystal looks like the cherry on a big stogie

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Doggonit! I forgot that little nugget of info in the original post! It is the MR I got here at TCSS and ripped the soundboard from (that I used in Coronus). :D

[Thaxos]

Amazing weathering techniques, job well done!

[Sairon]

[Lord Dottore Matto]

[sithlordfaust]

Well...Hmmmmmm...I suppose I could find a torch somewhere....:lol:

Ive got access to one or 8

[swear000]

what techniques did you use to get it so heavily weathered. I use paint a wire brush and some aluminum black but am looking to do more.

[Lord Dottore Matto]

I use drybrushing and foam applicator drybrushing with periodic directional varied grit sanding.

That Blade looks like it is real!!! The flicker effect is awesome!!
