Vintage Graflex ESB w/custom Crystal Chassis

[Lord Dottore Matto]

This Vintage Graflex has been converted to an ESB saber with Lux V, US 2.5 and a crystal chassis. The hilt is "gently" weathered naturally and I love it that way.

Ultrasound 2.5
Lux V BIN4 Royal Blue
5mm HO accent for Crystal Chamber
Graflex BH (from TCSS)
Blastech ESB kit (all parts from TCSS)
LDM Chassis includes:
TCSS speaker mount V2
2aa battery holder
Acrylic "rainbow" crystal
Mini tactile switch

Very cool!

I love the chasis vids!

[Rhyen Skytracker]

Another fine saber. Love the chassis. Great job.

[DJMoonbass]

very awesome work LDM. just curious why would you have the LED flash when the LED flash when power is off? wouldnt that drain the battery? :confused:

also i love your work but im just wondering when you will build some non canon sabers? i really miss those by you.

[Lan-Ja Hamil]

Just one word......AMAZING!

The battery indicator is meant to flash for display purposes (and because the "owner" wants it that way ;) It would drain the batteries, but since he can just pop them out when the saber is stored, it won't be a problem.

I have some non-canon projects in the works, but my time seems to be taken "helping" others right now.;)


Just one word......AMAZING!

Thank you very much!

[Sairon]
