hello everyone at TCSS, i am not a new member ( joined over 6 months ago and have about 50 posts), but i had never formally introduced myself to the forum. I am from Kansas, right smack dab in the middle of the USA. I have been a star wars fan ever since they came out with the original trilogy special edition vhs box set ( i have watched it countless times). I have faithfully read almost everything you could ever need to read on this forum, and thanks to everyone's helpful posts i am about 3/4 of the way done with my first saber. I have already shown progress pics of it in another thread, but i will go ahead and show them again in case anyone doesn't want to look them up. I am a big fan of the original trilogy and KOTOR hilt designs, and that is what inspired me to make a ROTJ vader hilt. I am away at college right now so i cant finish my saber until the end of this semester, but i will be sure to post glory shots of it. The next saber i plan on doing will be a spin off of starkiller's with a red crystal chamber. If anyone would like some intermediate advice or have questions about my builds feel free to ask or pm.
this saber has a green lux 5, and will have a safety green transparent blade when done (chose it because i liked the way it looks when off).
I still need to drill and insert modified the hex bolts, construct the blade, make the switch assembly/clamp band cover, complete custom blade retention screw assembly, and make a one of a kind stand with a light up display crystal. This build has had more challenges and modifications that i originally thought it would, but that just makes it more fun :cool:
