Megami
A Birthday Saber for the Woman of my Dreams


(holy carp! the final version!)

=================================================

So, I'm putting my own builds on hold for a bit, to see if I can't complete something for my wife in time for her birthday on the 18th of July.

The highlights of this build are PC-L Lightmeat, CREE RGBW tuned for Fuschia Pink, Candy or Trans Gold PC and Mirror polished shrouding.

NOTES:
Figured I'll make the sled out of basic parts for now, which will leave a strong base to expand on later for full crystal chamber, if she wants.

QUESTIONS:
1. I only saw "Candy Gold" and "Sun Gold" as options in the powdercoating menu, is there a Trans Gold available?
2. I'd like to at least give the illusion of a crystal chamber. Opinions on drilling a set of holes between the pommel end of the fluted section and the rear trim ring, then mounting pink indicator LEDs on that end of the electronics sled so they show through?

Love the design, for sure. The sentiment is just cute (from a strictly Jedi point of view).

If you wanted a name, I'd call it "Aisai" (Japanese, "beloved wife"). Just adds to the sentimental factor.

[Loachri MacTalabh]

Don't forget the MPS Clip.

[Boj-Vaati Mau]

Looks like a pretty complete list for a nice, clean design.

not sure how your going to get the trim ring at the top with the shroud...unless your cutting it in two (shroud).

Correct! Shroud will be split at the trim ring

14 accent leds total looks pretty slick man
