Energy Sword Help

[TylerBH2014]

Hello, I have been working on an energy sword and have gotten this far. It is made of plexiglass and is 5 mm thick. I would like for it to be the blueish white it is in the game and glow. I was thinking of some painting methods and LEDs, but I'm not sure how to approach it. Any ideas are appreciated.

I'm also not sure how to go about this, as I plan on making one next year. Will be watching this thread.

I believe Benton188 may be able to help with this one. The overall thickness may be a bit hard to implement LEDs into but I believe he just lined the inside edge with a RGB strip

Lobb is correct in I just lined the inside edge with blue automotive 12v light strips and powered them off a 9v battery inside the handle. I originally had a piece of rubber tubing spliced open to cover over top the LEDs to hold them in place, but now I just have black duct tape as the tubing eventually started to crack.
