Send me a link, I only customized 2 sabers so far. So Im not an expert to you lol. I have many more planned themes, its just about having the budget lol
Well its more about the display element. All my sabers til now have been exclusively for combat except this hilt. I took an Anakin RotS and burned/scuffed/painted it to look like it had been through the duel on Mustfar, and then I added a crystal chamber just for an extra cool touch!

I would do a paint wipe technique, get some matte black acrylic paint and spread a little on a towl and wipe the hilt down so when it dries it will look oike smoke smear. I use a chemical on the US aluminum hilts for that effect but I dont think hasbro makes this with aluminium. I would look up and see

Oh good idea! I like the paint wipe tecnique to sort of make smoke like markings. No, Hasbro and MR did some kind of weird coating that isnt quite paint and isnt quite metal, it can flake off, but im not sure entirely what it is. It might essentially be a chrome wrap of sorts. This saber actually had some of it flaked in places which is why I decided to weather it, to kind of hide that minor imperfection and turn it into something cool! Which saber did you do the chemical weathering on?
