    Default Want to improve your Ani ROTS with MINIMAL effort?

    Do this:



    All I did was five minutes with a xacto and some chrome tape. The chrome tape I got at an auto parts store. It's a real product for blinging up your car with "Chrome Stripez" (actual product name).

    Any idiot can do this. A sharp knife along the edge of the band cleans off the excess. So a roll of $5 tape (with tons left over) and 5 minutes increases the look of the saber 100X easily.

    looks like he used the tape on each side of the embossed area on the midband to me.

    Yeah. I guess he doesn't own an Ani because the difference should be obvious.

    EDIT:
    Here's the stock FX for comparison. Obviously the one I had up there is in the middle of a conversion.

    That, and the fact that you did it so well I couldn't see anything that looked added on.

    Personally, I don't think idiots should be playing with sharp knives!
