Sneak peak time. These gorgeous little goodies came in the mail today. Sorry for the terrible lighting in my Apt.
All components fit nicely on the rods after a little touchup. Connectors, slide switch, led holders, switches etc all fit like a glove. I did goof on the seat for the sound board and forgot to move a couple of walls back after fiddling with them in 3D. So I'll have to do a little more altering for that. Don't think it will be too tough. After that I'll treat the core with some mystery mix to get a nice finish. Then try to figure out how to get some tiny tiny pins in the lid so I can make it functional. If that fails, the lid still snaps into place nicely, so no worries there. I'll get pics up of the process once I dive in.
Custom parts for the outside of the hilt were ordered this week too!
:O Looks awesome! I love the bronze-plated steel (if that's what it is). Have you considered painting some of the little grooves to break up the solid finish?
This sneak peak makes me super hyped to see the end result!
Why did Isendra die? Tell me the truth!
That it is beyond your abilities does not mean it is beyond mine. I learned the lesson of Isendra's death. But I was given my power for a reason, and it is my burden to use it.
I will use it, not fear it as you do, High Councilor Valthek
Gotcha. Yeah, it will look totally different once it's done. I did the print in black to get a nice base color upon which I'll do a few things to make it more visually interesting. Oh and yeah, that's bronze plated stainless steel. I'm actually very pleased with how the metal came out. You can definitely see the stepping and some imperfections in it, but I was prepared for that and it's actually what I wanted.
awesome my friend, that is going to be an awesome saber!!
Can't wait for the reveal. the details look great. Some dark gray model paint dry brushing can make those extra details pop, if you wanted more contrast to break up the black.
The brass coatings came out great.
Looks amazing sit. Can't wait to see this one finished
How did the metal printing come out? Is it grainy or smooth ?
