It seems a shame to put aluminum tape over such beautiful machining...

Isn't there a V3 without the Aluminum tape too?

Yup! During production it doesn’t have silver tape… but it has another kind of tape on it

The handyman’s secret weapon: duct tape!

Gotcha, thanks Danny!

 

[Halliwax]

Gotcha, thanks Danny!

I don’t know this “Danny” you’re talking about… but I sure do know this one

Got the main holes drilled out! A little nerve wrecking but not too bad

 

[Halliwax]

Looks wicked!!

I ordered two. First one is going to be an ANH “style” motorized stunt. Motor mounts are drilled and tapped. Everything test fit, with the motor and bushings installed. Tomorrow I can start the painting process.

Experimenting with paint colors and weathering. I’m waiting on a different color to try on the neck. It looks too dark in my opinion.

Here's my first pass, based off the resin stunt paint jobs and various screen grabs. And next to a modified TXQ Rescuer. I added a removable nipple insert.

Take a break from the forums and I miss out... 100% my fault haha. The builds look great!

Here's hoping for a second run!

Motor is working, now I am starting work on converting my Glowmex antenna into a blade.

I was able to find all of the internals for this saber: 12V motor, bushings, bearings and switches on Amazon.

My plan is to go over the copper color on the wind vane area with different shades of brown and red. I am also planning to add a set of transistors from Romans to the clamp. But for now I am satisfied with the build.

Still waiting on material to build my own blade. This is one I purchased off eBay which arrived today.

My "phase 2" build is a full working pixel saber. I had to make a chassis with a forward-firing speaker, so that I could use existing holes for sound instead of drilling holes in the pommel cap. The sound tests work pretty well, so I'm going to refine it and try to get a full build done up this weekend. I'll post the build and the STLs once I'm done.

I used VHT Metallic Gold Flake for the neck. Dark Gray primer for the emitter
