Kylekus, a Saber of the Jedi Academy by LDM

[Lord Dottore Matto]

Kylekus

This is a saber inspired by Kyle Katarn's saber from JK2 Jedi Academy. It is in no way meant to be a replica, on the contrary it is a "spiritual representation" of how I imagined it before i ever saw it. I have had the drawings forever and finally decided to build it. The color scheme hales directly from the JK2JA saber that we all know. It is meant to be a "New" saber. Not weathered in any way. I went with powder coating and a real copper card along with other classic design cues. Some may even classify it as a Clan saber. It has a very nice touch plate activation system, machined fully custom free-spinning pommel inset and machined resonance chamber. I indeed made it from MHS parts, but not a single one is stock. One very subtle, yet cool feature that I want everyone to notice is the copper powder coated detail on the emitter face. I will include a picture of that part with the standard glam shots. I also have wanted to beak out my Viridian blade on a CSv1 saber and I thought it would be a nice option with the copper accents, so this is it. Thanks for looking.

Particulars:
CSv1 with Nightstorm's TOR "Tranquility"
Viridian blade with sky blue FoC
3.7V Li-ion w/2.1mm recharge/kill in the pommel
Easy-turn pommel insert
Touchplate activation
Trans-Copper and gloss-black Powder Coat
CT wheel
Real copper card
Machined Resonance

Very cool. I love the original KK influence.


*edit* I posted before looking at the detailed pics. Good lord sir! The custom machining on those MHS parts blows my mind a little bit.

Thanks fellas. I really like doing "themed" sabers and many folks love Kyle Katarn, so I figured, "why not?"

This could have been in SW prequels... Pretty and sleak
