    Default Maul's PC Dueler

    Here's my latest saber. I'm calling it the PC Dueler because...well...it has a Petit Crouton and it is meant for dueling. I did a custom heatshrink grip for the lower part of the saber, and the aux switch is mounted Madcow-style on the neck of the saber for easy usage. The paintwork was done by me. It is baked on semigloss black enamel and is as tough as PC in my tests. The emitter is also special on this saber. It's similar to a style 8 from TCSS, but the outer edge of it is 2.5" in diameter, to prevent a blade from sliding down and smashing your knuckles.

    Specs:
    Blue Rebel LED
    Custom enamel paintwork (blue and black)
    4xAA NiMH 2600 mAh battery pack
    custom heatshrink grip
    Madcow style aux switch
    Blue ring AV switch
    Pommel mounted charge port
    Oh yeah, and the Petit Crouton by Plecter Labs!

    Awesome. First thing that caught my eye was the heat shrink grip. I really like it.

    On a side note, where are people getting these cool looking saber stands from?

    Nice! I'm not sure what makes this any more appropriate for dueling myself. It's not super fancy expensive but still , much nicer then a stunt. I think every saber should be somewhat duelable. Otherwise it's like having a fancy car just sitting in the garage. I have a few clues but still can't quite wrap my head around that aux switch.

    Seth...since the forum is attached to a store any talk of buying and selling is a no no. If you keep your eyes peeled to gallery posts and youtubes you'll find some clues though.

    Very nice and yet still functional. I like the wide emitter to keep other peoples blades from busting your knuckles. LOL Great job.

    The saber has a super wide emitter flange to act as a hand guard, and the buttons are set up for a right handed person to use with a lot of ease during an actual saber duel.

    Didn't think it was a problem since it's not something Tim sells in his store. I was under the impression that the taboo topics involved things directly relating to TCSS.
