Thanks CET. I've found that dremel, powder coating, building the saber is the easy part for me. I hate wiring them.

Thanks CET. I've found that dremel, powder coating, building the saber is the easy part for me. I hate wiring them.
Morning all. I haven't completed a Saber in quite some time. But this weekend I was all in to get this one done. I've had the MHS parts for this going on 4 years now, heck at one point I had it up on...
This is one that I did to get to the switch nut and SD card. On the oposing end was a spring out of a ball point pen. Pull on the speaker and spin it out of the way for access, and the tightened...
Very nice Cannibal! I just did a shroud with etching too. And I feel your pain when it comes to cutting the pattern out by hand.
Work has just been brutal the past several months and time has been very limited, so I finally took some time to work on this today. I used rogue9607's method of etching with the root kill & salt...
Hey thanks a bunch Obi! I've never weathered a hilt to this level before, it's a new learning experience for me. I still have to add a few more layers to it, but I wanted to wait until the first few...
First round of weathering is done. I used a method similar to what Madcow showed in his weathering video, and gave it an light wash with acrylics.

I haven't been very active in the hobby or on the forums the last few years, but occasionally I still get the itch to build something new.
First one up is a new one for my son since he sold his last...
Awesome shroud work!!! Love the etched design on it.
It's a bin 2. I have a bin 3 that's a touch more blue, but I liked this one better.
Keep reading the forums until September. There is so much to take in that it can seem overwhelming. But the more info you absorb everything will start to fall in place.
I promise you, the primer is gray. That hilt is terribly difficult to take pictures of with the white paint. There is a lot of small nicks and scratches in the paint, and the little bit of grime...
These are mostly shelf queens save for the occasional time my son and I goof off. Should it have a D ring or covertech, probably. But it doesn't bother me that it's missing. The little greebly on the...
The wide sections of leather are stitched on under the shroud. But they still wouldn't stop moving around, so yes they are glued in a few spots. The really thin sections are glued on all the way...
If you can wait, I have an order in with Tim right now for a very basic MHS based Qui Gon. I started one back in 2010 that I never finished, the new one will be along the same lines as that one....
Most of the time I just leave the back section off until my son and I start goofing off. Between that and the deep sleep mode on the NB I think I've charged it once in the last 2 months.
I've posted this saber before years ago, but that was when it was a Jedi hilt. Now that its a Sith I thought I'd post the new stuff.
Specs:
Miscellaneous doodads from here and there, PVC covered...
I built this one for my dad, I took the colors from an old hunting shotgun he has and roughly applied them to a hilt with just a very minor weathering.
Specs:
Rustoleum Hammered Bronze baked on...
Glad to be Back! After a short retirement a good friend of mine recently asked me to build a saber for him. I thought well crap. Between a hand surgery that left me unable to even hold a pencil and...
I recently sold everything related to sabers. I just don't have the time, money, ability, etc, etc,etc. This was easier than sending individual pm's to those that know me. Been pretty cool watching...
So after having one of my sabers "weathered" for me, I decided I'm gonna go a little further with it. Over all make it look like a very neglected, abused, rusty hilt. I was gonna try Eastern57's...
After thinking about this over the weekend, I'm gonna let it go. This was a quick economy build to test the paint I used(obviously I wont be using it any more;) ). And if I can get the blade holder...
I'm pretty sure he took the blade holder off. Because the lens and holder are missing. The way the pics are is exactly how I recieved it. So that being said, I think I'm gonna write up an invoice for...
I'm not sure what he did. He wasn't at the shop today. The saber was laying up against my tool box when I got there. Problem is it's not my immediate boss. He's our regional vp of sales, and pretty...
Because this is how it comes back :-x:-x:-x:cry:
