Sith Acolyte Saber

[Boj-Vaati Mau]

Lookin' good so far, darren! How are you securing the Emitter Shroud?

[darren1970]

Not sure yet. A screw would be best I know, but want to keep it as 'clean' looking as I can, so probably some kind of adhesive.

[mrknify]

extend the shround to under the red screw, then use that + some cement or jb-weld. (lols.) or a better one if able.

[hebert466]

looks great so far...

[darren1970]

I've tried an epoxy resin to attach the emmitter shroud ( fingers crossed ).

[darren1970]

Last few bit's on the Acolyte saber are done.



I think the emmitter shroud, 'fake' red button work quite well. I've tried to rub it down and add the used look to it.



Oh and er............its now fully rigged out with a Rebel Star Deep Red luxeon LED, 2Watt bass speaker and a Novasound 3.0 ( Dark ) soundboard



It looks a little pink-ish on the pic, but its a lovely lusious deep red colour in the flesh.

Allready thinkin of what I can do to improve on the saber. Some simple things like I didn't order a bezel for the AV switch and I haven't fitted the kill plug yet.

Well done, mate! I'd suggest that you inset the switch to lower the profile (the bezels make them pronounced) and you might want to buff the choke and pommel too...

[darren1970]

Yeah your right with the button, recessed would be better. I take it that if I countersunk the outer edge of the hole the button flange would sit lower?

Aah, I forgot to dull down the choke and pommel ( doh.! )

[Ty_Bomber]

Very nice! I think a touch of weathering would go great on this saber.

[Boj-Vaati Mau]

Correct. You can then file the edges on the hole to blend it in.
NBD on the choke & pommel, they just pop on the images. It's probably less noticeable in person.
