Does anyone build Star Wars Lightsabers? I mean from scratch or kits replicating ones from the movies. That and installing advanced electronics that are programable like with CFX, GHv3, Proffie Board and Xenopixel etc. Along with NeoPixel blades and such. I'm not talking about the Disney crap from Savi's Workshop, Doc-Ondar's Den of Antiquities or the Disney Store.

Ok Bill,
Just finished the 1:32 Polar Lights one. I think I did ok for not building a car model in decades. Only 30 or so parts. Did it all in enamel. Forgot how long it takes for it to dry compared to lacquers or acrylics. One thing I did do to dress it up quite a bit was to apply Tamiya X-25 transparent green to the glass and headlights. Really made it stand out more. Made it look eerie and dark like the TV show.
I'm pumped up to start the larger and more complicated AMT one next. 1:25 scale and 3X more parts, figures, detailed dash, etc.

Hi Viper,
You did a great job on the model. Doesn't look like you have been away for decades.
