@ Z.T. glad to hear that! I plan on (trying) to turn my CG into more of an emerald or blue green color. And I will play around with my SY to make even more colors in the 50 shades post I did.

I'm just going to go for an AS Prophecy to play around with the colors. Hopefully getting it this week. ;o

Also whats the best way to put the filters inside the blade emitter? I might go for an Aeon V2 LE while I still can. Always wanted that hilt...

Honestly I don't know I have to experiment. I was just going to trace the blade and cut the circle out.

Yeah, I just traced a blade plug and and cut'em out. I did it pretty roughly too, because I was eager to try a lot of colours (I didn't have the patience to cut out 2 dozen perfect circles). It actually doesn't matter if they're rough around the edges IF you have an MHS emitter you can remove. I remove the emitter and place filter right on the LED module and screw the emitter back on (with the blade still in). If you don't have an emitter that comes off, you'll probably need to cut your circles very neatly and be wary of getting them stuck inside the end of the saber. Also, funny things happen if you have FoC - I put a blue filter in my Sentinel Yellow with silver FoC and it gave me an emerald green blade with a near Arctic Blue FoC. Green with blue FoC? It's definitely different.  |

I got my Apollo filters today! Smaller than I expected, but who cares they were free! They came with a nice catalog of thier products too, interesting, but ill never use them. The swatch book has a lot of colors! I'm not sure how many, probably 70+. My favorite color name so far is "Yellow Snow" and its pretty acurate too

Yeah, someone had a good time naming all those colours, a lot of good puns in that little swatch book - I'll post some of my faves when I get home. |

Sorry to revive an old thread but Apollo seems to no longer do free gel books anymore. Kinda sucks. I was going to get me a new gel book. I'm getting new Lee's though so I'll be good there.
