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
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
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
