Great work Sith brother. Really nice.
-
You're such an inspiration. I use bits of your techniques to embellish some of my cosplay and airsoft loadouts.
-
Love the honesty in the unexpected issues you run into and address.
-
Tamiya chrome silver sprayed with an airbrush would've been incredible on this one. Less smell and the paints are more consistent. You can weather the saber a whole lot and you can add black chipping with a very fine brush. Please try it again like that on an Obi Wan kit maybe. You can get an airbrush for cheap. I got a Revell one for like 3$ back in 2010 I think but I never came around to buy a compressor.

Love the Video! I am getting into crafting myself. At 56 I feel I am late to the game, but am going all in. I'll be watching more videos for sure. Thanks for sharing!
-
Great work Anthony, you managed to make such a cheap thing look so real and lived in. I definitely think it's unrecognizable from being an Obi Wan donor saber!
-
Wouldn't bet my life on it, but I'm pretty sure that was the light saber that came with a Furby-like Yoda that you could use to do your "Jedi training" with it. I may be wrong.
-
I just enjoy Anthony's whole style, Watching his videos helped me through a rough time.

Congratulations of 50k subscribers :)

Awsome work, as always, i need more dollar store prop videos, im addicted!! I think that was Obi Wans Saber from The Phantom Menace btw , hes loosing it at the end fight with Darth Maul, so it never got much screen time, thats why you didnt reconrized it, haha.
-
beautiful work my man! an inspiration to cheap prop builders everywhere!
-
Homie, this was great as always. Looking forward to the auction!
-
Awesome work, as always. It would be cool to see you build a full saber from scratch, though. See you go through your usual, organic process. Digging through your parts bins to see what fits.
-
That looks amazing. Great job.
-
i bet auction, with a minimal price you are happy with, just make sure everything goes off the shelf. 20$ is better than 0

Kool.

using plain old sand and rocks can work as well for added mass if you can't afford "real weights"
-
Great work!
-
For stickers and sticker residue, I suggest a drop or two of olive oil. It does the trick and won't make a toxic mess like some chemical solvents do.
-
Anthony, have you considered using sanding sponges? I swear by them for getting into grooves and angles.
