Colour conundrum

[Kelador]

Hi all just looking for peoples opinion as i am divided on which way to go on my current build.

My original plan was silver and black but after seeing force awakens I wanted to do a storm trooper black and white. Now i have the parts I am completely torn.

Any help/suggestions/preferences Much appreciated

Ps Blade will be red or purple

How about Black and white, but chip/scratch off some of the white in areas to give it a slightly used look? Get all three colours that way.

Agree.

Seeing a predominantly white saber would be nice. They don't come around very often.

^^ as above ^^. I like this idea. I'm picturing white enamel and matt black.

Edit: Now that's another saber design bouncing around in my head.

Cheers for the suggestions. I ali blacked the pommel last night and think ill order the enamel today i will post pics when done.

Hi all, body of the saber is coming on nicely nearly prepped to paint. While I wait for supplies I thought I'd wire and test electronics.

Now another colour conundrum, with the new foc ready on the NBV3 I have decided to go with a tri rebel for the first time. Now my NEW colour conundrum is that I want to make purple. I have a RED and BLUE chip in soldered, red has a potentiometer blue resistor but when lit together it is making nearly white can anyone help I am baffled. I was awake till 2.30 am trying to figure this out and I am stumped.

Late night got to me.
Without the blade in to difuse the light the red blue mix must have mixed with ambient light to appear white but with the addition of the blade tube hurrah. it Works now to wire up a NBv3 and paint this bad boy.

My take on what a storm trooper saber would look like, specifically 'NINES' from FORCE AWAKENS.

TRI-REBEL R,R,B (TWIN RED WITH BLUE FOC)
NANO BISCOTTE V3
FLASH ON CLASH
3D PRINTED CHASSIS WITH INTERNAL CHARGE PORT
WHITE AND BLACK GLOSS DETAILING WITH RUBBER O RING GRIP

Let me know what you guys think.
