Kryy's Saber by Rhyen Skytracker

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Here is a saber that a friend of mine commissioned me to build. She furnished all the MHS parts and a 2010 Obi-Wan lightsaber to rip apart and use the sound board for her saber. She wanted it to look girly yet elegant. That is where the brass overlays came in. How can you do elegant with out a brass overlay? LOL Here are the specifics:

BH 6
Choke 3
4" extension
pommel 8
double male threaded connector
custom low profile switch plate (by me)
green dot AV switch
red/blue blinky accent LED
black covertec wheel
brass overlays
2010 Obi Hasbro sound board
green seoul P4 LED
4 AAA battery pack
TCSS speaker

I forgot to add. I used a TIP42 PNP transistor. Just in case anyone wanted to know.

[Rafalema]

Yes, I still need to get me a new camera. Maybe Santa will bring me one this year. Oh, that's right. You have to be good to get something from Santa. Oh well, I guess I am stuck with this one. LOL

Just sneak it onto Natalie's list lol.
Nice saber Ryhen. I'm sure the owner will like it.

Now that is an idea. I will try that. LOL

[Arkhan]

are the brass overlays glued in place, or held there with the o-rings?

either way, I like the design. that choke and pommel make for great lines.

[Rhyen Skytracker]

The upper overlay is held in place by the screws for the switch plate and the bottom overlay is held in place by the screw for the covertec wheel. I like to hide the screws whenever possible.

Lots of replies already, well, better late than never.

Good job Wade!

Brass is allways a good thing :P

Kryy LOVES it... and is taking it to Huntsville tomorrow to troop at the opening of the WSMI exhibit there.

Thanks for a great job, Wade! :D

Very nice...but you gotta get better photos. My camera is only cheap it came with my printer/scanner but I have to say in my experience, don't use a flash in a well lit room and you get the best results when it comes to metal.

[Tenric Starkindler]

Very nice indeed!

[ARKM]

Another cool saber Wade.

The chip is about completely gone on my camera and if you don't use the flash you can't see the picture at all, even in direct sunlight. I have tried all the different settings on the camera too. It is 9 years old and I will probably get a new one in a couple of months.

I like it. The pommel, choke, blade holder combo is very nice, i made one very similar. i find that choke great for spins as well.

[morpheus1977]

very cool saber. I like it alot.

[sekrogue1985]

yummy looking ryhen

[Sairon]

Pretty cool looking, very KOTOR. Nice job.

[akaius skystrider]

The saber turned out great buddy. Nice design choice on the overlay.

[Jedi Jacobi]

Got back from Huntsville late last night, and the saber was a BIG hit. I had lots of people wanting to look at it more closely and asking questions ... Jedi costumers, other costumers wanting to do a Jedi, and just general fans visiting the WSMI exhibit.

I also had a few impromptu "sparring" opportunities in the plaza under the Space Shuttle and the saber is a delight to handle.... very easy to spin and swing.

So Kryy is very pleased with her new saber. :D

And here's the question of the day... How do you answer when someone asks "is that a real lightsaber?" LOL

[Skottsaber]

And here's the question of the day... How do you answer when someone asks "is that a real lightsaber?" LOL

Easy.
1) If it doesn't have a blade in, say yes and point it at them. Watch them cower as you ignite it. :mrgreen:

2) If it DOES have a blade, say that its to keep people safe from the intense energy WITHOUT the 'sheath' on. But say it gets hot.
Then touch them with it.. watch them flinch :mrgreen:

[Jedi Jacobi]

Now those are the most CREATIVE answers I've heard! :lol:

Thanks so much! :)
