SSR90 Prototype

[Sunrider]

I finally decided to put my first saber together. This was a cram test of sorts to get a feel for what can be fit into a hilt.

I have put about 6 months of thought and work into this saber and learned a lot from this forum (thanks) and trial & error.

The hilt is big, 14.5 in long and the grip is 1.7 O.D. It is still easy to hold and I don't have huge hands.

A beautiful saber to be sure! I especially like the custom work on the blade holder.

I'd never even thought about a magnetic belt clip before.

Hopefully you'll get sound in there soon, it's too nice of a saber to remain silent for long.

Oh my God. I have a New Unicorn. Great looking saber.

Saber grande! Too bulky for me but very cool nontheless.

That saber says to me "I'm 8' tall. My saber is large and in charge. My saber is so powerful, it lights up an OPAQUE spheroid crystal. My saber is in a state of barely contained overload at all times. If you make me turn it on, well, I'm going to have to satiate it before I can put it away. You understand, of course"

I'd like to hear a CF soundfont with the idle derived from a big-block 454 with heavy cam shaft. The engine barely stays running at idle, but when you get her up to speed, she has horsepower to spare.

Love that shroud around the blade holder... Awesome work Sunrider

How'd you make that emitter shroud? It looks awesome!

Thanks guys.

Yeah you can tell I went a little overboard on this one. It is well balanced & more weldable than I feared it might be. The next one will be a shrunk down version of this.

I got Tim to make that out of MHS Sleeve.
