Hey =Ottomatix=
Ah ok . I've got it. Shattered weathering to reveal crystal chamber. Impact damage with anodized scorching.? Maybe someday.
Any customising progress with your CR Archon and did placement eventuate successfully with the '4 rib' section on topside to accommodate it? Based on your last post, have you opted for a Heavy Shattered weathering instead where the CR sneaks out from a blaster shot/saber slash strike point?

I've been doing some PVC mock-ups, and have a pretty good idea of what I want. Unfortunately I dont have the courage to tear into this hilt. I will post some mock- up shots of the effect I' ve decided on tomorrow.

Asked Justin the other day about this type of finish. Not for the entire hilt but at the emitter shroud and impact sight. Sort of tempered or overheated discoloration.

Interesting concept. Would never had thought it. I dare say Justin could do it. I imagine the application to be a spontaneous and random powder-coat with transparent colour combinations. In appearance it resembles the burnt colouring and techno colouring on car exhaust tips. If it works on stainless steel can't think why the same wouldn't work for T6061 Aluminium. Very Cool. *insert thumbs-up here*

Justin called it Neochrome. Sort of like titanium finish on knives or crystals, and yes like exhaust tips you got it. I've seen some anodizing videos with multi colors dips. Sort of like dying Easter eggs. Different color each dip but the effect wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

Hey =Ottomatix=

Got another question for you regarding your Archon. Thinking about pulling the trigger on a standard finish one.

The black-filled accent lines on yours. Was this a request fulfilled and accommodated by SF (much like how the Epoch is filled on the DT finish) before Justin took over to do the brass PC?

No, Justin did that as well.

My glimmer of hope to bypass Customs (only since new commissions are closed) has just been shot. Just wanted a deleted CT & switch box with black accents. I may have to accept the two former and DIY the latter. It will be mine ;)
