For my Mystery Box, I received an Initiate V4 with basic sound, windowed emitter, and CG LED with AS FOC.

Whilst it is a nice, sleek looking sabre, it's also a bit bland colour wise, so decided to spruce it up a bit!

I've painted most of the hilt with 6 coats of gloss white (left the pommel end and emitter tip the base aluminium)




Then I covered the activation switch area, and handle grip with some red kangaroo leather,



and then attached the Jedi Symbol pin to the opposite side of the activation switch with hot glue, with it sitting on top of the activation switch bezel






Here it is all lit up!



I'm going to wrap the handle with some black kangaroo leather strips, to give it an old school look.

The idea behind calling it The Grey, is that the red and black elements will represent the dark side, and the white and silver the light side.

Hope you like it!

Very cool. Post pics of it once you add the black leather, I think it'll look great with the black on there. I definitely like it though.

Just finished with the black kangaroo leather strip wrapping (had to watch the NRL Grand Final first - too bad North Queensland lost, but Melbourne were the best team all year), and here it is -

Very clever idea with the pin.  The paint job turned out really great.  Did you do any sanding and/or priming for the paint beforehand? I love the idea of a "Grey" themed saber. Nice work! Point to you!

Wow Seano, incredible mods!  Absolutely beautiful saber!  To me, it seems reminiscent of an old Republic Jedi Sentinel saber  Smiley
