"Axiom" My First Saber Build -- MHS

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Well done! I too, would consider replacing the red acetal knobs with something in brass, but then, I'm kind of partial to all things brass anyway.

can you say drooling at the seems. exactly what color is that overlay?? it looks orange!

Actually the pix don't do it justice -- it's an aged copper metallic.

I need to work on my photographic techniques a bit

[ErikTheHack]

Looks great, I'm glad it turned out. Might I suggest adding some weathering to the shroud.

Great minds... I was considering how to do it as weathered is exactly the effect I'm looking for.

Hey BTW, Thanks again for fixing my early rendering!!!

That's high praise -- Thank you very much

I agree with everyone about the "knobs" -- the bright red just doesn't work -- so I'f tracked down and ordered these:


They are to my liking -- at least from the picture

BTW, the constructive comments here are awesome!!!

No prob, There are many ways to weather, there is the painting method, oil meathod, and many others. Painting is preaty easy, just slap around some black model paint and sand it till it looks the way you want.

Personaly i think you should have keep the red knobs. It just adds flair.

[Hasid Lafre]

Jonitus is IMO the master with weathering.

Here's with black "knobs"

[Invisas1979]

There you go. I think that makes a big difference. The black knobs go much better with the build.

It'z Naace....
