Closeups of the BlingStrip. Special thanks to Hon_Rev for this, it's fantastic!

Greeblies. Right one is lowbatt LED, left one is the kill key. My camera didn't like capturing the lowbatt as it is meant to be viewed only from one angle.

Once again, my camera didn't like getting closeups of this. The pics are all a bit blurry.

Really cool chassis!!! Love it!

another great saber! and i was really impressed with your connections between the sound/crystal chamber module and your lux module, a simple and well conceived system. this time im going to have to sample your customs brother! :D

Very nice Alec!!!!


Question: Are those model train track connectors your using there? Ingenious! How do you get it to not twist?

Basic, yet still nice. Awesome job Maul. The clamp card is an intiresting change.

very beautifully done. the bling strip is a bit much for me, but still adds to the overall design very well. and i love the connections. ^_^

Exactly what I was thinking!
What a great idea! However, a few model railways I've built, the 00 Gauge track connectors aren't the best for transferring power, I've had to fiddle with quite a few to get power flowing right.

Thanks guys!

Yes, it's train track. I haven't noticed any loss of power. The saber is nice and bright ;)
