Gotta agree with everyone else. It's flipping stunning work.

Very cool demo. Max was right, the way you did the rice port was genius.

I noticed you mentioned an rgb led. Did you opt for you more traditional LEDengine setup or did you use a tri star led for this demo?

Thanks,
The choice to go with an RGBA was because I was familiar with how it blends. The experiments with an RGB Tri-Rebel were not getting what I wanted, I will try a Tri-Cree next.

Video made me very excited to play with the options of the CF6.

So many LED options to choose from these days... will be fun to see what the different ones do when you start mixing.

I love clean hilts any day over (heavily) weathered - but Rob you've done terrific on this one I really like the balance you've created. It's not too much and knowing Jaina's story it really ties in well.

Love it mate, well done.

I like it better weathered. It add's to the hilt's charecter and the feeling of a well used weapon that has seen active duty. Jaina is a warrior and while her weapon of choice would be extremely well maintained funtionally, I doubt she'd obsess about a little grime. She was also a  fighter pilot after all, Lol!

Awesome. Great choice on the weathering. I can't remember if the media blasting was that special powder coat you sometime use on your ascends or not, but the combo with that weathering is fantastic.

Great job with the weathering!  This is definitely one of the nicest sabers you've ever done in my opinion.

Now I can see it as Jania's saber. The original was too nice for her rough and tumble lifestyle. Excellent work

Your artwork only gets more amazing with every saber!  I agree that looks like a saber Jaina would wield.  Nice work on the weathering a perfect finish on an incredible saber!  What type of button is that you use for the aux button?
