Next up on the bench is another custom lightsaber build.
This one started life as an Ultrasabers 'Catalyst' that I picked up in a trade
Picked up a new emitter and pommel for this one from TCSS, and I'll also be using the leftover sleeve material from the 'Therion's Fire' build
-here are the parts and a mockup of the hilt
I gave all of the parts a light sanding to prepare for the next step.
Masked off the grip section and painted it up in transparent red. The raised sections will later be sanded for more weathering
Bothe the new emitter and new pommel were given a coat of flat black.
I also gave the sleeve a coat of flat black followed by a coat of bronze/copper
Using my Dremel, I cut grooves in the sleeve material that I then weathered with aluminum black along with the rest of the saber.
The grips were given two coats of aluminum black to make them darker.
The emitter and pommel were weathered with sanding screen.
The blade color is a darker version of 'Pyrestone Orange' with a yellow 'Flash on Clash'
