yeah I figured that last, I've got the hilt finished out, just needs the electronics, figuring on dropping in a simple module but the tri rebels and crees were brand new when I was last active so I...
So, I'm an old member (there might even be people that remember me :p) and I've got a pretty extensive parts bin but they're all pre MHSv2 and I'm trying to figure out a couple things:
1. I've got...
the problem isn't plasma, it's superheated plasma, if the air touches something so hot it can cut through steel like a hot knife through butter it too will become superheated, and that's when your...
yeah they're pretty ornate, it took me awhile to come up with a design that didn't look to me like I'd just shoved one on the back of a blank cylinder.
J-Lo is right I meant choke, don't know why I said claw.
Also the other saber got in there because I'm working on the install for that one too and I didn't have anywhere else to put it that was...
I'm not sure what effect you're going for, do you want a blade that has two similar hues pulsing to make it seem more realistic? or are you going for a blade like some described in the books, that...
Just a note on the smugglers, the Dude has the gold stripe on his pants ala Han Solo, but that's not so much a smuggler thing, it's actually a Corelian military honor (sort of like a medal).

if you're dead set on sound I'd recommend getting a hasbro FX (the expensive ones) and breaking it down for the board, the P4 LED's are an excellent choice for these, the greens especially are on par...
So here's my latest creation, I'm thinking of calling it arbiter, but someone has to have used that name by now:
Pieces from pommel to emitter:
Acerrocket Limmited OBI AOTC pommel
TCSS Mara Jade...
nice job, I like the heatshrink grip, especially in the smaller 1.25 OD
Hey Space Battleship Yamato!
That series subscribed to a sort of very Japanese insanity, I have fond memories of it.
Impressive... Most Impressive
I can attest to that, personally I prefer uncut stones that follow the natural crystiline structure as opposed to cut pieces, makes it harder to find the right piece but IMO it's worth it.
Good...
nicely done, I like that you didn't compromise on the choke, /respect.
yep original larbel
yeah the guarded and av style switches are pretty much a road block, you're not getting anything but wire or something pencil thin past it.
A good rule of thumb when costuming, if you're trying to do anything "not of this world/timeframe" (SciFi/Fantasy/Period) you need to avoid major pieces that look like you just picked them up off the...
the covertec is one of the aluminum ones tim sells, it's held in place by a socket head screw, I ground down the screw so that it has just enough length to put tension on the blade and keep the wheel...
an easier way to do this kind of thing is to secure the shroud with parts that aren't obvious. To illustrate
I'm waiting for AV switches to come back to finish this one, but I'm done with the...
if you do that you have to post the video of you braining yourself with them to youtube. (the saberchucks thing)
yeah I don't know why the hell they painted it blue...
I should note, that by "tons of R&D" and "PITA" would probably translate to years of work and thousands of dollars at the very minimum.
technically that's not the hand grenade's grip, it's the part that explodes, the grooves are there to weaken the metal so that it flies apart in pieces of fast moving shrapnel to cause maximum damage...
I think the problem stems from the terminology in the OP, there are different grades of 'good' like I said this style wouldn't likely hold up to the examination that an official costuming group...
all that info is readily available, it's an OK costume if your just doing it for Halloween but don't think you can get into any of the costuming groups with this, it's not up to their standards.
