Excellent bebelise! Great contrast with the two-tone there. Way to go. So bright too. +1 Be careful mentioning the competition. It's not allowed on US's site. Merely say the "other guys". For future projects, perhaps just link to your YouTube page...

I don't intend to be "the rulebook cop", sorry. It really looks great, and I look forward to seeing your future endeavours.

Either you like Star Wars... Or you're wrong.

Wow, I really like that. Great idea, and is much prefer to do that than a paint job. I'm in the USA so I'll have to see if there is a shop like Autofoil around here that would be able/willing to do a wrap like that on my Arbiter that looks as awesome as yours did. Maybe on a Catalyst, too.
Thanks for sharing that idea and great review! +1

Wow, that dark blue and silver really pops. Great choice. The limitation of not being able to fill the grooves or do the emitter is in your favor, I think. I also really like the speckles. Great job, great review and have a point.

Very cool. I think he only meant what other sabers he'd like to try in the future not to disrespect US's at all. That blue looks sweet though

Thanks, everyone. I gave out points to all of you. I honestly think that the guy doing the wraps COULD do the grooves, but it takes a ton of work. I saw him redo the main hilt 3 times because of wrinkles and i could only imagine what that would be like if he did the whole thing. But seeing how it works first-hand gives me a couple of ideas. Next time, I'll choose an ultrasabers hilt that has less grooves

The only less groovy hilts I can think of are either Archons, Menace, Chosen One, Graflex, Electrum Wind, Lost Gray and Fulcrum, Reaper, Monarch, and Scorpion sabers I think that covers all the less groovy sabers

Matte white, and a custom paint job for a macross crossbones.
