Jay-gon Jinn's Chrome Saber 15

[Jay-gon Jinn]

This one took some time to complete, as I was waiting for a proper soundboard for it. I picked up an Ultrasound 2.1 for it from a member of the FX-Sabers forums, so I wired it up this morning. Here's how it turned out:

The led is a bin 6 Amber Luxeon III. It is powered by two Li-Ion Trustfire batteries. Blade is a white polycarbonate. I scuffed it up a bit to make it look it was a well-used, but well-maintained saber, not really weathered.

I think this is my favorite among your sabers. Very clean hilt. That "floating" bit of overlay by the choke is really nice too.

[cardcollector]

Wow, This is my favorite one yet!!!

Would you Want to explain how you got the "floating" piece secure?
Did you use epoxy?

[B5813]

Beautiful. That new style blade holder is nice to look at and it looks great with the hilt body you've constructed.

[Kal El Rah]

Another great 1 Jay!:cool:

[ARKM]

Very nice Hilt Jay.

[strengthofrage]

Very nice saber Jay-Gon. I have a saber in the works with that blade holder and a similar paint scheme... that BH is difficult to paint, well done :)

[sekrogue1985]

now that is cool

[Jasten Skywalker]

That turned out great. I just received that blade holder powder coated in that exact paint scheme from Tim the other day. http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/showthread.php?t=4330&page=2 That looks really sharp. Great job!

[Obi-Dar Ke-Gnomie]

Gorgeous! I love the simple yet elegant color scheme and design.

[winger]

Very nice and clean looking.

[Sairon]

Snap, that saber looks awesome! The yellow blade goes great with the black and chrome ;).

[Master Jedye]

Another awesome hit, Jay. I wish I had something orginal to say.... but I agree with most people here.... this is my favorite of yours, so far!

[DJMoonbass]

wonderful jay gon i really like the look of that one!

[Jay-gon Jinn]

Wow, This is my favorite one yet!!!

Would you Want to explain how you got the "floating" piece secure?
Did you use epoxy?
Yes, that piece was attached using epoxy. I can't take credit for the powder coating, that was done for me by another person.

[TuxedoCartman]

Holy wow that's a good looking saber! Seeing the first pic, I thought "An AV switch and bezel would probably look better than the guarded switch." I think I was mostly correct in that, except maybe I would have painted the bezel black and maybe experimented with one of the black AV switches. But that's nitpicking on what's an extraordinary looking hilt.

[Knighthammer]

Still one of my favorite hilts you've done Jay Gon, well that an your X ;)

[Yoshi-Taka]

I like it. I liked the original's guarded switch because it flowed much more fluidly with the saber, in terms of colors. The AV switch looks good though too, since it almost completely matches the blade color. Great work as usual Jay

[Guardianofwinds]

Whew, she's a beautiful saber.

[Nichos Seastrider]

This still has to be one (and there an awful lot) of my favorite sabers that I have seen on these forums.
