Australia. I read a tutorial on mastako string blades and thought I would have a go. still need to decide on a hilt but those graflex replicas in the store look cool

hey buddy hows it all going? i got a video for you to look at if you have the time...I have been messing with string blades...easier than i thought and the results are lol enLIGHTening http://s1266.photobucket.com/albums/...stringtest.mp4

yo Captain ive finished it! I got a bit of a build log in the gallery called Madmaxx presents his Opus lol check it out.

I did the etching with a car battery charger and used nail polish as the resist, hooked it up and dumped it into some salt water and that was it.i free handed the pattern so it looked a little more organic and now just have to work out the chassis and put it all together.i will keep you posted and I would love to see your new project when you start it.

hey buddy long time no chat..lol anyway i started on my opus and i have afew progress pics for your viewing pleasure...http://photobucket.com/ultimatehilt . its not quite finished yet but it should be in a week or so. anyway enjoy

heya Captain. how goes the war?!? lol i put a couple of hilt ideas in my profile. you have seen some but i have decided on the one with the inside layout ....i can't wait to start on it.I havent added accent leds to it but i can do up to eight with the igniter board... so i was thinking that i might designate 3 to a chamber... red green and a blue one so i can kind of match the crystal colour to the blade colour?? I'm gonna have to run afew tests first though but it might be fun

yeah cool. i like the second one better.That gives me somewhere to start from thanks Captain.I think the competition had some nice entries and the front runners deserve to win,but you are right i think afew of them are butt ugly also but thats just me lol.

stupid password..i had it on when i had my contest pics in there....it should right to look at now though seeings that i think the contest winners are a dead cert. 'sigh' i will have to try harder next year lol

thats my file of design ideas. cheers again Captain

hey Captain. If you get a chance take a look at these ideas and see what you think.Hope your doing well catch you around. http://photobucket.com/hiltdesigns

Hey captain how you going? I've just bought an igniter board and true color add on from naigon. It will be my master piece lol I hope. Now I just have to decide on a hilt design that will be able to safely contain said master piece-ness. I might run a couple of designs by you when I get some on paper if your interested. Hope your well catch you around
