I can't say I've ever seen someone do it with paint before (on a saber hilt) so that'd definitely be cool to see.

I think a lot of it depends on how you thin the paint and remove the heavy elements before any paint dries. I've never done it on metals but I assume you can get that nice gritty used look without discoloring. This way the saber should look like it's seen some use but still taken care of and polished.At least I think

Hi all,
Go to YouTube and look up The Custom Saber Shop videos by Madcow, there is a collection of videos including weathering your saber and how to remove minor scuffs and scratches. You should find the info you are looking for. For Tyeth |

I'm also planning to do the weathering myself. Going to order all the parts black anodized, and use abrasives to wear the finish the way I want it. Here's another image of my future saber. I think I settled on a name. Can't wait.

^^^ Watching some videos on it now
Man there's a lot of good stuff. Also, PULLED THE TRIGGER. Pre-ordered via Inidegogo! Can only afford the saber and light setup at the moment. Will have to get a proper sound board eventually but that's all good. Can always add one! Sticking with this for the final design - very simple, vintage and utilitarian. Maaaaaybe a different pommel, will decide before i have to send info in: 
Also - CYAN. Reminds me most of Luke's ANH saber vs a more prominent blue... or would this be more Arctic?

Personally, I love that particular pommel. It is one of the few that does not immediately remind me of a sink knob. Congrats on pulling the trigger!

I'm really digging that saber design, Agdev. Simple, but elegant and practical.
Still debating whether or not I want to make a custom saber (the Katana and Anistar hilts may do it for me for practicing my dual wielding, or maybe two Katanas when I save money? IDK) and get it next spring, or just buy one of the above sabers in February after purchases have slowed down and (hopefully) SF has switched to FedEx. |

I've heard people say the Arctic is more accurate for ANH. The cyan is 2 blue and 2 green dies, and thus has a slight greenish tint. Perhaps someone with firsthand experience can comment on this. |
