ROTJ Reveal Saber Showoff

[Clutch]

Nice, solid construction! Totally jazzed about this saber. I don't know if I can bring myself to weather it! Tolerances are so tight, it emits a puff of air when it is snapped shut. :love

 

[jme3]

Rylo's? You cheeky monkey...:thumbsup

 

[ave4uevoli]

I wanna play too! Rylo find the damn 24 hour post office already!

 

[Rylo]

Ooh!!! You did a nice job!

Told you it would be hard to beat it up!

That is sweet! I almost kick myself for not getting one. I just passed because it wasn't "official". :rolleyes

 

[darthwhitey]

OOoooooh baby....:love

 

[SurferGeek]

Quite droolworthy! :love

Usually, the non-official ones are better. :thumbsup

 

[Clutch]

Maybe he meant it wasn't 'officially' in the movie.

 

[sakanade]

Great

Put the watermark on a corner, that way we can appreciate the saber more.

 

[Sym-Cha]

I see you have created a new lightsaber ...

Yeah I meant it wasn't in the movie.

 

[MooMooEgg]

Yeah I meant it wasn't in the movie.

Haha... silly me. :$

 

[jbeatle]

Awesome.

I definitely wouldn't weather the outside of it, but maybe a light wash on the inside like oil residue down in between all the little crevasses. Would really make the details pop.:cool

 

[Clutch]

You are correct. I didn't want to over-do it because these components would be covered most of the time. With a black wash of acrylic paint and alcohol, I gently went over the internals. When the wash dried, I gently rubbed the higher areas with a damp paper towel. I also put a line across the bottom transistor with a green sharpie. :thumbsup

 

[Rylo]

Love the green stripe! I just did mine.

Nice little wash you have in there, too.

This is how the aging progress works. You'll get a little braver and braver and before ya know it, you'll start sanding and scraping on it! :lol

 

[Jedifyfe]

Looks really great with some "grime" on there.

 

[OldKen]

Omg! Nice snag! I was hoping someone I knew would get one!

The subtle weathering looks great!

Now to talk my way into a visit to see it...

I mean to see YOU!

Yeah, that's the ticket! :lol

 

[SurferGeek]

Hey Clutch... that light wash really looks good. Shows off the details. Would love to see more pictures of the piece after your weathering job.

 

[Clutch]

Thanks! I'm thinking that is all the weathering I shall do for now. It is just too pretty to muck up.

Ken: You coming to GMX in October?
