Well I got this aeon today as a grab bag (a little dissapointed, but oh well, I'll sell this when i'm done with it and get another haha)

This saber is pretty plane, so I decided to spice it up.  The clear coat is drying as we speak. Then I plan to add some leather wrapping and other things to spice it up.  We will see.  Here's what I have an hour after getting it.

Before:







And after:













There will be more pics to come when I move on to the next stage.

That's pretty sweet looking.  You should check out my custom weathered Bane review to get some ideas maybe.

looks good so far man. I noticed you said you weren't a fan of the hilt style but after you're done customizing it, the hilt may grow on you. If not just use it as a extra beater, that is what grab bags are for after all.  Grin

I don't know exactly what technique would work the best, but I think adding some oxidation effects would be cool. Make some of it look like it got rusted in some of the scars or something. not too much, but just the essence of the elements getting a hold of it at one point and it didn't get cleaned.

It looks pretty cool thusfar and I think you did just the right thing with it. The grab bag that doesn't strike your fancy right off is always a great candidate for customizations.

I really like the black inside the grooves, more silver sabers should come with anodized grooves (like the LEs, but black instead of gold).  Smiley

careful not to over-do it. just some in places where, lets say it was partially buried or something, the dirt would have got stuck, or where water would have collected. maybe under some of the wider sections like under the emitter and around the holes a bit, and in the bigger scratches and stuff. Just a hint here and there, so at first you don't see it, and once you do you think, "I wonder how old that thing is?"

Some new eye candy for the night Smiley
I added four sets around the emitter









Hard to tell in the pic but this is a yellow worthy of a sentinel.
