I'm really NOT into blasters.
They are too much 'guns' for being any near to relevant to me, no matter the galaxy far far away.
That said, I really wanted to challenge myself and learn how to use my brand new airbrush, and this project seemed appropriate.
I wanted to practice some techniques for making real metal effects, not just "prop-level" shortcuts (like painting the scratches over the black paint, instead of trying to do real scratches).
I still can't care less to have a blaster in my hands, but I do like the final result.
I'm working now on a second saber, with a difficult (truly bland) initial design.
And I'm still pretty excited about all this.
[I know, I know. Leia's blaster is all shiny and black and new. But, let's assume that this is just the same model owned by someone else, OK?]
