Mine does not need a clean or polish.
Thanks!

I recieved my my saber today. What a great job by Rudy! Thanks, man. Really, really nice.
But now I have a problem: you see, I have this really terrific brother. We're really close and he helps me all the time. Like me he is a huge SW fan but never was into props. But in the last year he has more and more wistfully held the stuff in my collection and said "this is so cool..." And things like that. At some point I realized his birthday was this week, right around when these sabers we're going out. So I got it in my head I would give him this for his birthday.
But now that it's in my hands? Damn. I don't know. Maybe he would like a gift card to someplace nice? Or a fancy steak dinner? Or the SW blu-ray boxed set? Anything but this. This thing is too cool.
I think brotherly love will win out, but just barely. It's gonna squeak by.

Oh and for those who did not get polished, the shop said to wash them in warm water with liquid dish soap and you should get a nice shine. but NOT THE COPPER PIECE!!

What do the ones not polished look like compared to these?

I got the paint job more or less finished. I did 3 or so rounds of oven cleaner and steel wool to dull the finish. The grenade section was primed then painted rattlecan satin black. I removed the paint from the rings with sandpaper. I then masked off the "seam lines", painted those, then took the opportunity to goop some paint I'm between the rings with a brush. After the paint dried, I took sand paper and knocked the painted seam lines back to be a bit more subtle.
I used aluminum tape on the pommel and emitter. The upper portion of the windvane section was covered in foil tape, too, before painting it all copper. I love the gunky texture in the crevices!
I marked and drilled the holes on the clamp before covering that in aluminum tape, too. I removed the side bars and covered them in separate pieces of tape. I may yet try to weather the clamp lever, too.
I've yet to install the d ring. That mother is tough! I can't seem to get it apart by conventional means; I may have to clamp it up in a vice or something. I'm also awaiting some 1/8" gold pinstripe tape in order top make an activation strip. Then it's on to the electronics [emoji15]

That's some serious commitment on your part Rudy. Years ago I did some testing out at White Sands so I know that drive from Las Cruces to El Paso isn't exactly "fun."

Received mine today as well and quickly got to work...
So far, I've blackened the pommel cube ring and trimmed and placed the aluminum tape pieces on the pommel areas above and below the pommel cubes.
I couldn't be happier with this hilt--thank you for doing this run!
