I still have lots to do, but here it is with with most of the cutting, shaping, and test fitting done. The real work begins after the paper and tape comes off, all the little detail work to get everything looking just right. The hose clamp is just there to hold stuff in place till it gets fastened securly, heh. More pics as it progresses.







As requested by LM, here are a few pictures with the tape/paper off. Still a long ay from home but we're getting there.







Got it all finished. lux III green, Spiderman3 toy saber sound(different but kinda cool) Corbins film.













Hope you all like!

Now that is the definition of a WIP
I love the hose clamp :P

Lets see some pictures without all the tape and paper on there!

Wow, that is simply an amazing saber. I love the color scheme, and the battery door is genius. I must say, you have exceptional talent.

Beautiful Work, Treadingwolf.

TreadingWolf - that's fantastic! Awesome design, love the finish on the green/black parts and nice touch the way the battery cover hinges open.

How did you achieve the finish on the green/black bit? It has a hammered/dimpled look as well, i was wondering if that's an effect of the paint or if you did stuff to the metal pieces before painting to achieve that?

Thanks for sharing the pics.

That battery door seriously WOW'd me. That is one top notch saber man!!

[Darth Zecks]

I think this saber is the definition of innovative. Well done.

That battery door rocks , got me thinking in a whole new direction for my next saber, thanks for the up and coming sleepless nights
congrats, the saber looks awsome

[Treadingwolf]

Thanks everyone, i am glad you all like it.
As far as the paint, it is a hammered finish spray paint for metals, i roughed up the parts with a flap wheel, then 2 coats primer and 3 coats of green to beef up the pieces and make nice definition between them.
The final part was a few very light dusting with black hammer finish spray paint, was kinda tough as the wind only wanted to gust right as i started spraying the black. hehe

Could you take a picture of how you get the batteries out? I only see two AA's, and I'm assuming that there are a few more (or one more). I love that door, and I want to see the full working motion.

This is my daughters saber(the other one was an x-mas gift and was already wrapped) but the operarate basicly the same way.
