Thanks Infinit, It did need some form of accents. As I mentioned to Lady Revan single colour hilts need some contrast to make the details stand out but as members asked for a Dark Spook the majority of the hilt needed to be black. The grip insert is/was a slightly lighter shade of black but was still hard to make out. The third picture was just a test really to see how much gold I could use and get away with. And Dark Spook is just my name I gave this model so I didn't cause confusion with the real US hilt Thanks and point incoming and I'll PM you a new pic soon with black Tsuba. You're welcome Tyeth and I like your experiments with how each part on the saber would look. Thanks! Can't wait to see it!!!!!

I personally like the gold shrouded one the most by far. All of them look great though.
Hi Darth Silenoz, again it's all a matter of personal taste! The main reason I was unsure of this gold hilt was that members asked for a Dark version of the Spectre to look at and I thought this strayed too far from that idea. Anyhoo, I am glad you still like them. point on it's way.

Hi Infinite, I don't know the real engineering behind the Spectre model but I built my hilt in sections as this picture shows. Blender is so flexible that I can now make hilts like this and swap parts really quickly from other versions or even other hilts I've built (in object mode you select Append Object from the file menu and you can pick an emitter shroud for example and load it into your current build.) This also means you can quickly swap colours too!

Hi Infinit, you have to prioritise your time as you need to. I don't have family concerns and I am unable to work due to health issues so I get (way too much) time to tinker and do stuff with Blender. But even I have only just scratched the surface of what it can do. I saw your thin neck ( which you still haven't posted yet...hint,hint) and that looked well done so you have the skill, the rest will come with...well time. Thanks once more.

Hello Golden Fedora, thanks man but this is just a concept model I knocked up to help you guys and gals to visualise one, the people you need to petition are Ultrasabers. Oh yeah and I did give my version a different name too, just to be safe! thanks for your continued support and point incoming (P.S. And when I get a free moment or two I will read your updates to Invictus!)

More great innovations For! Not to be too demanding...but gold shroud with red blade or purple blade would look opulent like the saber of a decadent hedonistic Sith....*cough*Xithar*Cough*

Hi Lord_S_Gray, glad you like my take on the Spectre. I guess you would like a Xithar themed version sending by PM? Give me a bit of time and I'll get to work on it. point and pics on their way.

You're too kind, Tyeth and yes, I do have to finish it though. Haven't laid down the metal look of it just yet. And will do once I finish

I'd love to see what it would look like if you tried to do the Spectre engraving in gold also

Hello Lady Revan, funny you should also mention engraving. I may have something in your inbox in a few minutes. Shhh! Secret upcoming design!
