Very cool, great shroud work. I love the greeblies too. I was planning on using lamp nuts as well on another build but i love that knurled knob on the side, seemingly small detail that really sells...

figured out how to get that translucent look of greasy steel, you really have to see it in motion to get the real effect. If there's enough interest i'll make a...
Looks fantastic! Great job on the weathering.

nano biscotte is in stock, and its not only one of the lowest cost offerings, i'ts a really good board all around. 18600 or 18650 batteries with a smart charger are your best options here, 18600 is...

Trim rings with a raised/extended lip to hide the ends of grip materials.
I've been away for a long time, just watching... this one earned a comment.. very creative, and elegant at the same time. nice work, the overall look has it's own persona to it, as it ages it will...
I'm trying, but I know it's gonna be hard to pull off.
Hello all, it's been a while since I've been on!
Anyway, I'm going to start a new saber soon, but I need to know the I.D. of the mhs choke style 3. If anyone has one that could get a...
I can make Maquettes if you need a real life 3d object, as long as I have enough images of what you need. I have won a few awards for this, and had a local showing for my work until my entire catalog...
