Hello RPF, long time no see and that's on me not you guys I have a question if you don't mind! I have enjoyed videos on you tube of props being made. I love the painting and finish that turns plastic foam paper etc into something other that what it is.
My question is this. If I was to make a lightsaber lets say would I be alone in the idea that it doesn't need to be weathered? There is no evidence the Luke dragged his brand new built saber through the desert to make it look aged? Is there anything wrong in making a piece and that's it a brand new thing and accepting that all aging of it will follow from that moment forth? Now please don't think I am decrying the process I have been amazed at how it can transform a prop and the skills shown are truly inspiring. I'm just asking for your informed opinions please. TIA
