My Bellicose in Fire Orange (with Malice Pommel/Dooku Sound Font) and Initiate Custom in Consular Green (Bane Pommel/no sound). I'll be adding a D-ring to the Initiate's pommel soon.   Nice!! How did you do the weathered look on the initiate, it's looks great and a really simple use of O-rings! |

For the initiate, I used several grits of sandpaper to rough up the surface. Then used a few coats of Rustoleum metallic gray. While still tacky, I used a cloth to rub off some of the paint creating a streaky look. Once it dried I used more sand paper to expose more of the aluminum underneath, then clear coat. This was my very first attempt a weathering. The only caveat is that the saber cannot be reverted back since I used sand paper. My latest weathering technique uses enamel paints to create the weathered effects without damaging the saber and the option to revert it back to the original look.

Here are what has been my fav customized versions of my US. First my Dark Initiate LE V3 with a choke ext from the other guys and the MHS Guardian pommel.   My emerald Archon V2.1 with the classic pommel, and a neck + emitter from the other guys. Covertek wheel replaced with a button screw for a smoother look.   |

That pommel is sick on the Initiate. I believe I've seen your Archon before, but I still love that combo. Point awarded. |

Thank you Sedsti! It's hard not showing extra favour for your favorite hilts! They're just so damn awesome  |

That choke/pommel combo on the initiate is wet... cool concept that sings and probably handles really well, too.

It has a recharge port. The cover tech is the plug for the port. The crystal becomes active on removing it and it fades in and out.

D-ring and Emitter from T.C.S.S. Pommel is the basic Archon. I used a small screw/bolt combo to attach to the pommel. Also removed the covertech and replaced with a small black hex screw. Images below:   Also just finished cleaning all my weathering off the hilt to make it shiny again. It has some very light weathering on it now. But I am far from done. I have a new pommel and choke on the way to update the hilt some more. Should be done by next week.  |

Thank you gentlemen! That's pretty much the vision I had in mind after I got the initiate to kinda make it my own and give it an extra touch beyond the original simplistic design. |
