Just an update for all us saber enthusiasts. I have a brother-in-law who has an knack for mechanical work and painting when it comes to cars. Now, since I'm a fan of the Luke ROTJ saber and wanted to replicate that look as close as possible. Well, I gave him the neck piece and this is what he came back with:
I wasn't sure if this was too gold of a color at first, but once he finished up with all the clear coating, the piece looks magnificent. I'm not at home right now, but when I get back there later tonight, I plan on posting some more pics of this saber with the new neck piece.
Looks amazing! I asked you a question Flickr, you can ignore it as this now explains the gold (unless you want to answer it for the Flickr public).
