I started off doing some weathering with some sandpaper. Still determining if this is enough or should it go further Just received my 3D printed Emitter Shroud I still have to do some weathering on it and attach it with some new thumb screws.... Looking good so far!

Looks like a good start! Warning, it's addictive.

Looks good for far. I agree with Illyiss, modding is very addictive.

I have only one of these obstacles to contend with! What I'd love to do sometime, is work on some for others!

well…at least I don't have a problem … My next steps are a new pommel, weathering further (dry brushed) and ultimately a shroud for the grip as well. I'd love some ideas on that last part. as for designing for others: I belong to a SW RP group in the Second Life community and I "build" custom sabers and sell them…much more cost effective than this real life stuff

There is a really great thread here; http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=17790.0And there are lots of videos on Youtube as well.

Subtle, but that emitter shroud adds a lot. Might want to consider a new pommel for it

I did read that and saw some of the youtubey stuff. I just wonder about the thickness of the PVC on the hilt. I may go the 3D print route again. The bottom of the Dominix is only about 5 & 7/8" so it's not much to work with design-wise. Also, since the Dominix hilt is thinner than others, trying to find an appropriate cardboard tube to use for a template is challenging.
