I believe he's refering to the power cables. A neat idea too... simple enough. Every hardware store should have some clear tubing to use.

Apoxie sculpt. I believe that's what Hasid is talking about... MarsMaster used the stuff on his Amber saber.

That's it. I really think that would give it a nice touch. what do you think of having two colors of el wire in the power cable, then their mix being the blade color, like red and green, with an amber blade. Or someting like that?

I've got like 5 or 6 fee of clear vinyl tubing left over from when I repaired my ice maker. Just need to get some brass barbs.

HD sells clear polyethylene type tubing thats thin enough but it still is very flexible

Ok, I see what you mean now.

Red and green actually make brown. :P But it could work with an amber blade, it's your saber, after all, do what you want.

If I were to do one, I'd say with cooler colors, like green and blue for the power cables and cyan for the blade, that would look .

It's a neat idea. You will certainly have enough room inside the "battery pack" for the EL inverter and batteries.

yeah, but who wants a brown lightsaber? LOL

Red and green makes brown under the paint system (Red, Yellow and Blue)

With light (RGB system) red and green is orange.

You could even do three colors I suppose...and then just twist em in the clear tubing.....

I always seem to think in paint colors for some reason, which is weird, because I used to work on color computer monitors, so you'd think I'd think in colors of light.

[ArkaiHalon]

no worries. At least you think.
