Despite having the Master Replicas Limited Edition Anakin ROTS saber, I decided it would be nice to have a "stunt" one to be able to handle and such. Just a fun little project for winter, y'know? I was tempted to look for the EFX "stunt" replica, but it seems more than a little hard to find.
So, I recently acquired a cheap resin casting of the saber (which looks to be molded right off of the MR). It's a good casting, but I plan on tweaking it to make it a bit nicer. I'd like to remove the resin grips, and replace them with rubber ones. I have a set of ANH grips, but they feature angled edges instead of rounded.
There was a time when everyone made and used round-edge grips. Now, it's all accurate, angled grips. Anyone know where I can find some cheap rubber grips with the correct ROTS edges?
I also got a Covertec wheel to replace the resin one, and will be getting a brass circuit card for the control box.
While it would be nice to get the saber chromed, I think I'll have to settle on chrome paint, with aluminum paint for the center band. Any good chrome paint suggestions? Also, any suggestions for the copper button and eye color? Looks like more of a reddish copper on the MR than a goldish copper.
Thanks!
