Tips to paint a Luke Jedi stunt saber (from ILM mold) - PICS ADDED

[TheRealMcFly]

Really nice finishes on those resin sabers and thanks for the painting tips.

I have a more recent copy from BrundelFly's run and it does have the recesses on he lines of the control box plate. But I think the raised portions get the metallic color and the recesses the black.

If I ever get all the air bubbles sorted Ill paint the thing. But I can't see copper colors on the neck on the original resin hero saber copies. Maybe bronze, brass, or gold. Any confirmations?

^ That eFX is clearly not from the same mold since it doesn't have the uneven rings on the 'grenade' section ... nice paint job though.

@ Tyler could you make a close-up of your activation board to see if it indeed has recessed stripes? I believe the black lines should be higher then the copper/brass and since this is from a mold/cast of the upgraded Hero it should be visible on yours, yes?

I have one of these, and can confirm that the activation plate does indeed have recessed stripes.
