Title: Customization ideas for Initiate v3 LE Post by: Witchpig on February 08, 2018, 10:02:53 PM Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any good customization ideas for the initiate v3 LE, or pics of customs they have already done to it.
I want to add some sort of black grip, whether it's electrical tape, or something else, I would like to know your thoughts. :) Title: Re: Customization ideas for Initiate v3 LE Post by: Kai-Yen on February 08, 2018, 10:19:04 PM Hi WP - ck out Drachir's thread in the Customization section of the forum. He has done some very creative takes on saber accessories w weathering and linen wraps ...etc.

This way if you ever want to change it simply take it off and it is back to normal and No sticky stuff left behind from the tape.
I like mods that I can undo easily if I change my mind. It is all personal preference of coarse so there will be many different opinions. What color is the blade if you don't mind me asking? Oh, btw you should look up Seddist Skyfaller on the forums and see some of the cool accessories that he has for sabers.

My lightsaber is consular green Title: Re: Customization ideas for Initiate v3 LE Post by: DarthBoneTD on February 09, 2018, 12:12:06 AM Greetings WP,
These are my Dark Initiate V3's, but you get the picture. The weathered Sentinel V4 is a good tape example. The red one is multiple coat red and textured clear coat. Grip is fairly better The purple is paint weathering, texture coated, leathered choke points, and grey o-rings. Grip is good The green is also paint weathered, clear coats, with green grip tape. Grip is excellent (https://i.imgur.com/9xyPhyV.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/6jCr5z3.jpg) Title: Re: Customization ideas for Initiate v3 LE Post by: Punisher2468 on February 10, 2018, 05:28:57 AM I'm actually getting the same saber as my first and planning to wrap and weather mine. I'm going to use gray tennis overgrip tape by Gamma. As for the weathering, I'll just take sand paper and rub the black anodization off, if you're getting a black initiate I'd suggest to look into it. Lastly I'm gonna try to build a PVC shroud based off the tutorial by srams here on the forum. If you want I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck finding inspiration!

All I wanted was to create some contrast and grip while keeping the simplicity of the Initiate V3 design. I used black electrical tape.

Title: Re: Customization ideas for Initiate v3 LE Post by: Witchpig on February 11, 2018, 11:09:01 PM Very nice. Basic and simple. Works really well Exactly what I was going for. I didn't want it to be unrecognizable as the Ini v3, just wanted to personalize it a bit.
