Paladya's Storm saberstaff and Bane LED swap

[Therion Jinn]

During my day off, Yesterday, I got some saber work done.
Had two goals, and I accomplished both of them

The first goal was to complete the saberstaff I call "Paladya's Storm."
This is the pair of Initiate V5s with Obsidian Lite sound in Sundrider's Destiny that I received a couple of days ago.
I used Aluminum Black to darken the grip and choke sections.
Then, after some cleanup using steel wool, I sealed them with a matte finish and connected them with an older vented coupler I had



The other project was swapping out the LED in the Bane I recieved last fall as a raffle prize
It came in Guardian Blue, and I changed that to Fire Orange with an LED purcahes through Ultrasabers for that purpose.
I also took some sanding screen and roughed up the grip sections

Nice. You should totally build a Dark Jedi outfit around the Bane lightsaber =] The Initiate V5 staff isn't bad either. Sun Rider's Destiny is probably my 4th favorite lightsaber blade color

Nice video and good ideas with your staff and awesome color choice for your Bane.

Thanks, guys.
I really enjoy coming up with these

I’m loving these Jinn!! The v5’s seem like a natural choice for a staff. The claw edges pose no issue in that configuration!! Point

I was noticing that myself, Gumby
Thanks for dropping by

Always a pleasure to see everyone’s customs!! Ya, life has been very busy. Don’t think I haven’t been fully engrossed in a saber project though!!!

that's some tasty saber modding!! POINTAGE

[Therion Jinn]

Thanks, mrg149.
Point back

I like that you're never afraid of customizing and weathering your sabers, Therion.  I some members like them shiny and new looking but you have no qualms with making it look like it's seen some battles

TJ, these look amazing. Your work is top notch my friend. Point
Today is my first day off in a while and I hope to get a little work done myself.

[Therion Jinn]

Thanks, guys.

Infinit01, I think it stems from me seeing things in a 'used' universe.
About the only saber currently in my collection that may never get a 'used' look is my Electrum Wind. Mostly because I see Mace Windu taking meticulous care of his saber

You're welcome. I like that. I too feel that most sabers are weathered and used aside from Mace Windu as well.

Looking good.

The sanding on the grip sections of that Bane is so simple, yet SO effective! I love the look it creates!
