>>7769188Gloss on beam weapons tends to look cheap IMO. It's just not the right look, it makes it look like it's carved out of ice rather than this hot sparking laser blade. A pretty popular effect is to do a white gradient fade starting from the base, which mimics the idea of the brighter white core of the middle of the blade. You can do this with an airbrush or even rattlecan if you're careful.
