[Ripper]

WOW! Clean as a babies bottom!! I love the black and white on the saber! I don't think there is anything bad to say at all! This may sound goofy but i wish i was your wife LOL! Lucky girl!!

[Xanatos1986]

LOL nice thanks.

[dexios]

Looks great! Nice build... That switch definitely looks yellow in the pics! I put an orange one in my wife's saber, and yours looks a much lighter shade... Great saber!

[Xanatos1986]

thanks dexios, maybe its amber not yellow thanks for the boost.

As promised these were the colors I had on hand, but will ad more.

this is just the white, mind you its bright in the room too.

[ARKM]

Looks cool.

[thejedilestat]

i told you the yellow and orange color disc make a great yellow =) i have yet to try it with my withe rebel but it still looks good with my P4. Im going to have to try the 2 purple and one blue color disc tonight so im going to put my batterys on the charger now.


what sound font are you going to put in this one? or is your wife happy with the lightmeat font?

another great saber Xanatos

[Xanatos1986]

she and I like the lightmeat very well so Ill keep it on it unless I get the hero font from madcow.

[bk_renesis]

Hey pretty cool, my wife just looks at me and shakes her head when I saber play/build. At least she stopped calling them "star wars sticks" lol.

[Crystal Chambers]

Nice! I like the black around the graflex pins. I found the two greens and a yellow make a nice yellowish green.

Pics in the car? Did your wife give you the boot over it? lol

[Xanatos1986]

oh no no no CC lol I always take the saber I build tto work to show off lol, and to show my parents lol. yes I on my shroud I drilled out holes and drilled in 2 small holes for the pins and painted the blade holder.

[Knighthammer]

Looks really good.

[Xanatos1986]

Im adding pictures of my chassis for this build too here they are, please be gentle as this is my first one that worked out lol.

[jin starkiller]

nice build......chasis looks pretty good .....what are u using for the spaeaker mount

[Xanatos1986]

It's a modded tcss mount

[jedimastergarcia87]

Nice. But me personally I would stick with white. The great yellow looks cool too though.

[Crystal Chambers]

Looks like you put too much cram in your fu..lol There's no room to access the SD card and it looks like you have more room in the hilt.

Easy tip for grinding the speaker holder....use a belt sander and twist the holder in front of slowly to remove the ridge. If you only have a hand held one they can be mounted on a vice with the belt facing up. Or attach a bolt through it and give it a spin on a drill against some sand paper.

[Xanatos1986]

cc yes ill do the belt sander thing lol I have one and didnt enenink about it lol, as far as the sd card the PC just un snaps and it comes up :) very very easy to get to i promise :)

edit: sorry also cc i have 2 14500s in a barel style pack the other battery is under the activation box, so I couldnt fit any thing else in the exstension :( but it all worked out :)

[cardcollector]

I am inpressed with this build.

Solid Design.

decent Chassis.

Creativity used.

Good job man. :cool:

[Xanatos1986]

Coming from you thanksca bunch!!! This means a lot and midi area me thank you

[thejedilestat]

Or attach a bolt through it and give it a spin on a drill against some sand paper.
here i was useing a angle grinder a glove and some prayer hahaha J/K =). im going to have to do this now i have be thinking of a way to do this that didnt involve my angle grinder and thats why i made the lame joke.

[hebert466]

love this saber!!!:D

[Machinimax]

The color filters you used, are those TCSS filters?

[Darth Magnus.]

Wow I really like this saber :)
and I like the yellow blade.

[Xanatos1986]

thanks its one of my favs. It was fun building and keeping it hidden from her lol.

[madmaxx]

very nice dangerous looking saber.well done. i just bought the white rebel and the colour disks so i am excited to play with the colours and your yellow is perfect! Love it

[Xanatos1986]

The Rebel White is a great led, im pushing it a 1.5amps on that board. the filters are great.

[Mav750k]

Beautiful job. It has a great profile to it. I am also impressed how well the lighting appears to be working with multiple disks.

You lucky dog. My wife would laugh at me if I surprised her with a saber. She tries to ignore my sci fi projects and modeling.

Though after years of hard work I think my geekness has started to rub off on her. She did make an incredibly accurate Ewok cake last week.

Who knows, maybe in a few more years I can surprise her with one of these.

[Vlad Doon]

Sweeeeeet.

I'm really jaleous about having GF or wife loving star wars. Mine just doesn't understand why I can like "toys"..... :p
