It's painted plastic - of course it looks like candy cane painted white and red! But it being in a miniatures game with a ton of moving pieces not to mention terrain, you just don't notice. Blending the red and the white parts in a bit helps overcome that candy cane effect. Note on the OSL - it doesn't have to take a lot of time. Grab something with a small LED and put the saber user next to it, then snap a few pictures. Paint your OSL where the LED light lands. Even if the blending isn't great just placing the effect as unpolished as it might be in the right spots makes it look much better.

I can confirm the fluo paints help making the lightsabers pop. On mine I paint them a solid color with absurdly over-the-top OSL (the two below just do not follow the laws of physics See inverse square law for light fall off.) Subtler lightsabers seemed to me like they got lost in daylight or under crappy lighting in gaming clubs. Then I paint a thin strip of white on two opposite sides.

Did I even post Palp and Iden before? I dunno. Sabine received a bit of an overhaul to match the new Mando unit. And finally:

Try Vallejo Model Color Andrea Blue and Deep Sky Blue. They are highly pigmented, striking blues.

Finally no more of those stupid annoying to sort through puzzle tiles! Mansions of Madness got away with the full art map tiles because it only uses 3 sizes but IA? Even with the app speeding a lot of things up looking for some of the map pieces would slow the game right down. The artstyle of this is also very nice. If seems sort of... Supergiant-y.
