Hi all,

Just wanted to share a quick look at my third saber build.

I'm building a K4 to fit in between ROTS and ANH during Kenobi's time in the desert. I've sanded down the black paint on the emitter shroud to look smudged and used. I've treated the 7/8" blade holder quickly with Aluminum Black to darken it. The wind vane has been weathered by putting the brass parts (they seem to react as real brass at least) in a closed plastic bag with a bowl of vinegar and some crushed hard-boiled eggs over night. The grenade section and the booster section have had the anodizing stripped with drain cleaner and then I treated them with loads of Aluminum Black and sealed them with two coats of matte varnish.

I have one of Darth Ryo's 7/8" chassis and a 3.7 V 18650 battery ready. Now I'm just waiting on the electronics: a Spark 2, and a Tri-Cree XPE-2 Blue Green Red for an ice blue/cyan blade with a red/purple FoC.
