Hello Saberforum!

My recent customization is my Guardian with different paint scheme. So I decided to make my guardian into a Angelic lightsaber. So I took apart the hilt from the shroud, pummel and the base hilt. I did some light sanding using 600 grit sand paper and cleaning prep on the parts and using alcohol rubbing to clear out oils and dirt. I start to mask off the top of the emitter shroud with masking tape. But the another problem was how to mask the machined silver grip on the hilt. The solution was simple use I used Elmer's School Glue. Since Elmer's glue does't stick to metal very well it was a good choice. I filled the grooves up with the glue and it dry semi clear in the grooves. Then I spray painted the parts accordingly and let it completely dry and cured. Then I removed the masking areas, the shroud and the grip area. The glue was still tacky but it was easy to peel away from the grip grooves using xacto knife.

I'am pleased of the results on the customization and it looks amazing. It would be amazing if someone has a Tyrael Arch angel cosplay or one of the Arch angels from Diablo series wield this hilt in a Starwars/Diablo Universe cross overs.  Tongue

Dude awesome. My step sister would've loved your saber. Her favorite color was purple. She died a few weeks ago and this made me think of her.

That is awesome, a thing of beauty!  You have some serious painting skills.

While it is really nice, I'd like to have seen it with the original shroud's color rather than white. Of course, this isn't bad looking at all.

(slow clap) Nice Job!!

I love it. The white and gold is very different from what you see everyday. The white has a hardened enamel look to it which would be very well suited for a light saber. I love the theme behind it, too.

And the Elmer's glue trick, brilliant. I may have to store that little nugget of wisdom and use it myself some day.

Point....well deserved, sir.

Normally I can appreciate a customization for the effort put into it, but I usually see it, recognize/applaud the owner's effort to make it their own, and move on.  (Not to say I don't like customizations, mind you.)  This one, however, stands out to me.  It's one that I would most likely do a double-take upon seeing in real life.  Ealo, this is really cool.  That gloss white, appropriately for its name, gives it a very clean look that's just different enough from the usual silver look to make it stand out but not be totally overwhelming.  I'd love to see it with an AV switch instead of a plastic guarded switch, but it still looks great to me.

Well done, good sir.
