Greetings saberland! It gives me great pleasure to proudly post the reveal thread for this saber. I commissioned this saber from Ducous Rossis (FX) several months ago when I acquired two vintage Graflex three cell flashes. This is one of them and the other will be revealed in a few months (shhh...that one's a secret!). Many of you have followed our build-log thread on FX. The saber was originally designed with a Petit Crouton and was actually completed when I lucked out and acquired a few CF v5.6's in one of Erv's releases (THANK YOU ERV'!!). I hate to say it but I asked Ducous to tear the guts apart and re-wire everything with the CF. This is the end result and I could not possibly be happier! The following pictures highlight several exciting features of the build and will be followed-up by some glam shots and a video. Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous!! This has been my favorite character hilt since I was a little kid. You've done a wonderful job with yours. it doesn't get better than this you know? You've got a screen accurate prop with lights and sounds powered by the Holy Grail of saber sound boards. Oh but enough of me rambling. Superb job!!

[bk_renesis]

Just wow dude!

[Crystal Chambers]

Nice! I know you're happy to get it done. Since I have a graflex reveal in the works I know whats involved. Can't wait for the video. I'm guessing the low battery indicator is visible through the clamp? If so great idea.

[IndustrialAction]

Thanks all! I went back and forth with Ducos on the look I wanted and he more than met my expectations.

Crystal - yes, the low battery indicator is visible through the clamp. That idea was all Ducos. It was an excellent addition that I never would have considered.

Awe stuck, simply, awe stuck.
