Artiglio by LDM

[Lord Dottore Matto]

This is a project that I have had in the works since TCSS started producing the "Crystal Chamber" DM MHS piece. I went through 4 or 5 different chamber designs prior to settling on the final build. A few things that it had to have...Reverse sound, a claw, a real quartz crystal and 2 total crystal chambers. It was originally going to be a "Sithly" saber, but when my new cyan LEDs showed up and they were BIN3, the decision to change was made for me!

Here are the particulars:

Ultrasound 2.1
Luxeon III BIN 3 Cyan LED
16mm Antivandal switch with lighted green ring
RB Acrylic Crystal "Crystal Pommel"
HO Aqua LED Brass & Quartz Crystal Crystal Chamber
TCSS HO speaker in "Reverse Sound" orientation
Pommel Mounted Recharge/kill port
7.4V 750mAh Li-ion Battery pack
LDM Crystal Pommel, Battery, soundboard, speaker Module
Chassis Black Powder Coat

Here's the "Black Mat Time":

[Jedi-Loreen]

Another great saber, LDM.

As always, I love the in-build photos. :)


And yes, I looked up what this saber's name means, since my knowledge of Italian is limited. My great grandmother spoke Sicilian, anyway. :p

My Fam is also Sicilian, so it has always been dialect for me too! The name makes sense..no?;)

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Another great saber and yes the name is perfect for it. For some reason I can't view the video, can you post the link to it?

[Jedi-Loreen]

Si.


My dad has told me that he was disappointed when he took Italian in college but was not able to easily converse with his grandmother using it.

[Lord Dottore Matto]

[Darth_DevilGuy]

You are very welcome.

[Jedi Guardian]

Thanks for pointing me this way to see that activation box. I especially like the extension on the emitter. And the crystal chamber. Well, the whole thing. Quite an inspiration.
