Very similar trajectory to how I feel as I dropped off for a few years too!

Nice to hear you plan on using the forum as it has been quiet; some chat seems to have shifted over to the Discord...

Slight necropost (sorry FJK)...

I don't think the AOTC Aankin was made with a actual flash. You could do it but the diameter of the tube would be off resulting in the grips potentially looking...

Beautiful work as always Greenie. I appreciate the layers of detail (literally & figuratively) and the subtle difference in the metals. Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done!

I’m usually not a big fan of curved hilts but I dig this; the pommel reminds me of Ventress’ curved hilts - the way it is kinda chunky and flares out :cool:

I love a saber with a good story behind it!

It certainly sounds like it took ... erm, a long time :shock: to get it done. I can’t even imagine what it like to do commissions for people.

Back when I was younger I fancied myself a photographer and do still have an interest in it, so thanks for the info dannv; it does help a lot.

I have an old Nikon 3100 with a 50mm macro that I...

Ha! Awesome suff dannv! A well deserved win on your part.

If I could ask; what is your setup for photographing stuff; what camera do you use? What lens? And my biggest question - what do you use...

Hey Light Bringer. Ha ha ha; It was apparently a mutual feeling as I voted for yours! What really sold me was you crystal chamber. Nice stuff man!

Hey @ dannv. IIRC you got a saber in the competition, right? Which one was yours? I entered “Echo” in the custom satagory.

- Steve

Congrats to the winners!

Which one of you guys won the custom category? I really want to pick your brain on your photography setup! Stellar photos on that one.

- Steve

Well I wish you the best of luck with those... If they crap out you can get some decent stuff in the classified sections of either FX or Rebel Armoury.

- Steve

Amen brother; that is supposed to be the whole point of a hobby like this isn’t it. I look forward to your next build then!

- Steve

“Crap I’m gonna knock stuff over” Love it! Sounds like me every time I pick up my saber!

Have you ever detailed your finishing technique for the metal parts on your sabers? It might not seem as...

This is awesome folks! For what its worth I had a pretty tough time deciding on my vote for each. Kudos to ALL the participants!

+ 1 to FJK’s suggestion. Make sure you don’t forget the paper towel.

I’ve made the mistake of cutting without something stuffed into the blade and it fills with static polycarbonate dust. Its a...

Aw man; chasing this kind of problem is always so frustrating isn’t it?

Can you post some pics of the saber wiring? The guys around here have eagle eyes for spotting little things that could have...

Man that’s cool Jediseth I really dig these hilts with different shaped profiles.

I love it.

- Steve

Alright! Looking forward to seeing all the creativity!

Hey FJK. How are the entries stacking up; are there going to be enough for two full categories?

- Steve

Hey bradley901

Thats a Saberforge board right? I haven't seen much support around these parts for those... you may want to check out their facebook page for help.

Hi MCTeeJ

Welcome to the forums. I’m really digging the one in the 2nd photo; was that one inspired By the old (legends) Imperial Knights from the Legacy comics?

Good to have you

- Steve

Hey Ezra_Knight. Any luck getting it back up and running?

Have you tried FJK & Light Bringer’s suggestions?

While you may be correct; it is starting to sound more & more like a battery issue....

Hey Ezra_Knight

Just to clarify; are you using the 7pin/11pin pcb boards like the store sells or is it a “Hardwired” blade?

When you say you checked your wiring; did that included that tiny...

Hey Dave

Yup, FJK kicked it out to August 1st

Hey Dave

Good to have you. You know there is the 2020 TCSS saber building contest going on; why don’t you enter your saber?

I know there are many image hosting site around but I use Imgur and...
