God work! Although I did like the spikes on the hilt, this looks awesome. Also looks a very old saber with that weathered paint job and hose/wire. I like this look better than before. Not a fan of purple on sabers, but that is just my opinion. What paint did you use for the black?
Thank you , and i used a Satin Black baked at 170 % for 1 hour then wet sanded it down to a smooth dull finish .Originally Posted by Seth Skywalker

Decided one last time to change it up again , i went this time for a storm trooper look .
Its satin black and satin white over lap and mix , baked at 170 degrees for 1 hour and also wet sanded down to a smooth finish 1000 grit . In the pic it may not look smooth . But there are no runs and its as smooth as a babies bottom lol a factory finish .
This is the final paint job trust me .
Ps i have access to a sand blaster mini.

Nice. Mean looking pommel though :P I know its Storm Trooper based but I kinda like the weathering on this one =]
Light or dark. the path doesn't matter. What matters is how you act once you have chosen a path

I ran the blade all the way threw the chamber , hopefully that will work out the way i want and light up all six sides of the chamber rather than put a crystal in it .

Added my own custom switch port , for easy in and out switch access . Came out pretty awesome . Some epoxy , heat and paint did the trick .

Did you weld that switch housing in? If that is epoxy and paint, congrats on how that turned out!
