Very nice. I think it looks better without the beam activated. It didn't quite make sense with it being on a display stand...

@Kurts - Thanks! That Video link was funny!

@Fernando - Thanks for the kind works, Ill tone the dirt down slightly and see what I get

@Adrian - Thanks

@Bubbaloo - Yip that thought did cross my mind regarding the disply stand and beam!

Here is another render I did straight after posting the update this morning only change is increasing the visability of the scratches! What do you guys think or is it overdoing it a little? And I'm also going to tweak the copper material as I'm not happy with it

Cool model and cool render!

Just a little consideration:

Scratches are indispensable to get realism in this kind of weapons.

But I think that this kind of saber should not have the same scratching pattern that a medieval sword, wich was always exposed to beats during fights.

Obviously there should be visible scratches (every fight could cause damage to the saber), but I find yours very homogeneusly distributed. I would concentrate them on specific corners and edges. Mixing smooth surfaces with other more damaged could give an extra realism.

In spite of this, congratulations for the render.
