    Like loreen you dont seem to care what improvments could be had so I will just keep my oppinion to myself.

    I actually like the general simplicity of this hilt. The weathering on the ribbed section is good and I like the Mara extension. Could do with having the round head screws in IMO.

    Also maybe a bit of scorch weathering around the emmiter shroud.

    Where is the switch set?

    ribbed sectionhas nice weathering..

    first thing caught my eye..


    second thing was that terrible shroud! I think if you made it out of some thicker aluminum sleeve like sold in the store front it will look 10000% better

    it will match the over all 'color' of the other mhs parts..

    and being thicker will balance the saber and add texture with its layers/layering.

    same style..etc that you have done.. just in AL overlay material.

    I agree with Loreen the sleeve seems off with empty screw holes.

    Towards ARKM: I shall listen to everyone's words, and take them into consideration for future builds, but I don't plan on changing this saber.

    Towards all the other comments:
    I was planning to get the screws for the grooved extension, but I decided I like it better without the screws. Makes it more comfortable to hold.

    The shroud is indeed the same shroud from Vissh, my sink tube saber. I agree that aluminum may help even out the look, but I don't think I would be able to line up the accent holes on the blade holder with freshly drilled ones on the new aluminum, because the original holes are all off just a little bit from any easily measurable point. That's really all that's holding me up.
    And I do intend to get a glass eye to replace that brass knob. Someday. Money's tight!

    Ah. The way you worded it made it sound like you would take any negative critiques as non-constructive (even if they were constructive) and would be offended by them and as such, stated what you did as to avoid anyone posting a negative sounding critique because you just "didn't want to hear it".

    I am sorry for any offense to your character at my misinterpretation of your words. That said, it's a nice looking saber but I have some of the same issues with it that have already been stated.

    Oh, none taken, certainly. I realize that I do sound pretty concede in that first post. I'm just of the mind that it really only matters if I like my saber. Everyone else who likes it is just icing for the cake.

    I wouldn't worry or justify yourself Eco.

    I think alot of people feel that a certain amount of criticism will come their way when posting pics of their sabers. I got what you meant but some people may have taken that as arrogant.
