This is my first Ultrasabers lightsaber, which I purchased at Planet Comicon in Kansas City a couple of years ago. It is a Manticore with an orange blade, so I thought I'd spruce it up a bit with some orange enamel paint. The picture looks a bit more red than it actually is, but still shows what a few lines of paint can accomplish.

I'm planning on doing something similar with my blue-bladed Aeon, but with blue fluorescent paint.  Smiley

Just your standard Testors Orange (which is more blacklight responsive than I expected). It's a little old and slightly dried out, which I didn't realize until I got a fresh jar of Fluorescent Blue for my Aeon. So, I'll have to add a bit of thinner for the future. Still, went on pretty smooth.  Smiley

Thank you! Smiley

My Aeon is coming along pretty well. Weathering is done. Blue accents done. Just trying to decide if I want to do anything else before I call it "done."

Add a source of black light when you’re taking pictures for the forum, so we can see how it looks both with and without that augmentation.  THAT would be fun.

I'll see if I can get some good pics with the black light. Hard to tell how the camera will do with that, but it's worth a shot!  Grin

Yeah, that’s why I suggested using the black light to augment the visible light; I thought it might be easier for the camera to capture the image that way.

That looks great!   I love the color.   I've also used testors paint to similar effect.   :-)
