hi all,

This is just to share pictures of my first built with the community. Of course made of MHS parts and running a Petit Crouton V1.5 Light Meat board.

Great Thanks to Tim & Erv for their great quality work and services.

Wow, thanks for all those nice comments.

Now that I test drive one built to see how things would go, I'm "working" on a dual blades... The one I really want and had in mind.

As a side note, it first had a standard white blade and I changed it for a matching colored one and it does change the look greatly. Even turned off and still have a green blade make it stand out against my 2 FX ones. It adds to the finishing.

That is very nice. I like how the copper and black accent each other. It looks very comfortable to hold, very cool. Very nice work.

That is very nice. I like how the copper and black accent each other. It looks very comfortable to hold, very cool. Very nice work.

"comfortable to hold" was exactly the main objective. After holding my Vador one ... Well let just say that it's obvious that Vador had mechanical hands and didn't feel anything.... ergonomically wise vador's saber is an horrible design.

Another amazing 'first' saber. As I am building my first also, I am in awe at the quality and design aesthetics shown by people on their first attempt. This one is no exception. I would be very interested in a simple form being designed for people to fill out that could describe the saber they build, as well as parts they had thought about, optional designs, as MHS allows most sabers to be changed around to look quite different when just using more than three parts. Often when people show their work I have so many other questions, but do not feel confident enough to ask tiny details that could be construed as pestering or just plain obtrusive. None-the-less, great saber, cannot wait to see some more from you.
