Hi all.
I finished this saber in the last week, and I really love how it turned out. I know some aren't fans of weathering in general, but I sure am =)
Ok maybe it's not extreme weathering, as I did hold back a bit. But I wanted it to look it had been buried for a long time, or survived some cataclysm.
It was a fairly quick build, all stock MHS. I love these kinds of builds that aren't overly complex with shrouds and extra wiring and general fussiness. Sometimes it's just fun to make a simpler thing, just for fun's sake.
So it's got :
NB3 on a TCSS v6 sled
recessed recharge port in the ribbed section
lots of weathering using aluminum black and several kinds of paints, with a matte clear over all of it
a custom brass switch hat, per Darth Chasm's tutorial
saltwater etching in the form of the Galactic Army symbol and some Aurebesh that reads: "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force"
2w bass speaker
And a Tri-rebel cyan,cyan, white
I gotta say I've never used this color before but it certainly won't be the last time. It's wonderful.

Thanks for looking!
