There has been an awakening in the Force…Have you felt it?
…the Dark…
…& the light…
*insert kick-butt footage of Millennium Falcon here*
Consider this my "teaser trailer"…I should be getting my grab bag purchase tomorrow.
All I know about this project so far is that it will be a Jedi build in Guardian Blue
***STAY TUNED FOR THE UNVEILING***

I present to you.... Another Dominix LE...but this time v3! That means MHS compatibility!  ...and here are my choices for leather to wrap this time around:  ...the idea in my head currently is to add some O-Rings under the leather to create a raised set of ribs instead of the inverted channels...Different look. - However, before I do any of that I am going to need to repaint this son of a murglak. I'm looking at a forged/hammered finish in Antique Pewter [img]https://images.homedepot-static.com/productImages/ac29c983-3531-4349-9421-30c42847d003/svn/antique-pewter-rust-oleum-universal-craft-spray-paint-271481-64_400_compressed.jpg[img] - I will probably grab a nice emitter shroud from our friend Sedsti Skyfaller (I'd post image of what I'm thinking but I believe that is verboten) - Pommel may be the Spectre Pommel with D-Ring - I am thinking about doing some painted weathering and battle damage with the 'ol Dremel and who knows what else! |

I intend to repaint the whole saber first (hammered antique pewter)...I mean, how can I square a Jedi with a black hilt?!? It's just not proper....and I'm leaning on #2 or #3 for the leather. I need to figure out the size O-Rings that would work best for the grooves. |

Yeah...It's all leather pieces. I thought it would be great to have that gray for something interesting down the road....I found a company on Etsy that does this nice pack of 6 pieces of (I think) 4"x6" (you pick the colors) and it wasn't really expensive. I used the "Chocolate Maroon" on my last build and it looks so dang Sithy. I figure this being a Jedi build that something in the brown family may look appropriate. |

FYI, since the forum let Skyfaller has his own thread here to advertise you can post pictures of his things.
Looking forward to seeing what you do.

Painting is in-progress. Here is the initial coat. It's hard to see via the pics, but the Hammered/Forged Antique Pewter created some unique and interesting pitting effects in the finish (intentionally) and looks very dynamic. It will need a clear flat coat to drop the shine a bit. Quite glossy.  Leather choices are shown. I'm gravitating towards the dark brown...What do you folks think?  I'm considering a colored option for the rings that won't be covered by either shroud or wrap. Metallic blue sounds kinda sharp! |
