'Legacy' Redux

[Aradian Valentine]

My initial presentation of Legacy never sat right with me. Specifically the activation/kill switch assembly was an ugly mess of exposed wires that looked at best, amateurish.
I managed to internalize the wiring for the illuminated activation switch and retain the kill switch function. That was a fun bit of soldering.
I also added some accent pieces to the blade emitter

Well that just be looking so much better for sure.;):p:cool:

[Barmic Rin]

Really not a fan of that switch set up. The rest I like, particularly the emitter.

[Aradian Valentine]

yeah, now that it's cleaned up it sort of sits on the hilt like a... well... like a big box. heh :)

[$tarkiller]

I like the coors AND the switch setup. Nice work.

[DJMoonbass]

looks cool but incomfortable. undeed that switch is very unique

[Aradian Valentine]

It is surprisingly comfortable, and a fun way to turn on the blade. AND it makes coffee.

[Sairon]

It makes coffee!:eek: lol I think a set screw would be better for this saber.

[Aradian Valentine]

well, it stirs coffee...big coffee. :)

Can I have a cup? :cool:
I like this saber. It seems like a saber the early Jedi would have made. The next generation after the proto-saber.

[Aradian Valentine]

ok, I put some accents on the switch box to give it a more sophisticated technological feel.
Ironically, after spending so much time hiding the original switch terminals that stuck out of the back I ended up adding very similar pieces back on.

I'm a huge fan of alternative ergonomic activation schemes, and I applaud this build.

Let the form follow the individual weilder's function. Bravo.

This same principle was applied for Dooku's weapon. A unique style that flowed smoothly from his combat form.

i like it something different than the norm. I'm a fan of the switches oddly enough. only problem i have is the upper area. WT monkey is that.
