I recently purchased a second hand Initiate. I decided to use it for my Sith character instead of my Manticore. Part of her back story is she lived as a nomad and honed her powers on Hoth. I decided her saber should have an ice-y feel. Its still a WIP but I wanted to get everyone's opinion. What is it missing?

I know. I can't post them properly or edit my original post for some reason. I need to delete this post and start over.

I'm at work and we only have a Mac. Would that have anything to do with it?

A few thoughts before you're able to share pics... - Arctic Blue or Adegan Silver would be obvious colours for the blade, but any colour will work on an Initiate, I think. - In sub-zero temperatures, is might be useful to consider a wrap of some kind - a ragged cloth, perhaps, torn from the sleeve of a shirt. - Wampa or tauntaun claws, especially if you're a dark sider. - Scratched/scuffed marks on the surface to show it's been in use for some time and its owner doesn't have access to equipment to smooth it out - Depending on what resources you have available to you, something to create the illusion of a permanent icing of an obtrusive part of the hilt could be interesting Just a few ideas, hope they'll spark something for you |

The LED is red. When my Lee filters arrive I will try to make it something more cooler. I have a Wampa pelt planned for the costume so I may add a claw to the saber. I also want to try to find the spray paint that look like snow....I'm pretty sure that exists.

Wow, impressive. What did you use for the "ice" on the ends?

On the emitter I used crystals I bought from my local craft store and hot glue to make some "snow". On the pommel its hot glue.

Its looking good |

Awesome idea for starters. I think some light blue paint here and there and perhaps a fur wrap would look really cool.
