"Avdeux" a Petit Crouton Saber by LDM

[Lord Dottore Matto]

I'm liking the shroud, it's a great looking saber. I really like the true purple led, that's a perfect purple.

I think I have the color mix nailed at this point. Thanks man

Great saber. LDM. I love the aux switch set up, among other things.

The wrinkle gold PC looks spectacular, reminds me of ancient gold artifacts. But it sure sounds like a pain in the butt to achieve!

It is. I know I said 12 layers, but it may actually be more (I literally lost track). You have ot bake the gold for half hour incrememnts, then add the next coat and repeat. It also takes 3 types of gold to get this effect. The first coat was hammered copper followed by hammered gold then 3-4 layers antique gold and 4+ layers of bright gold.

very cool saber LDM ....wouldn't expect anything less....

Thanks man!

looks great as always LDM. I like the emitter but I'm with J-lo on the wrinkled gold PC...I would love to hear how you did that.

See above . and thank you
