Kyaryo's First Saber Build - Needs a name

[Kyaryo Ysoyav]

Great ideas everyone! I'll have to put some thought into while I finish up the outside. I should have pics up today or tomorrow. I am however, dead set on green. I've always loved that color!

Also, MandoJoe, you wouldn't happen to know the Mandalorian for "Hope" would you? I'm a big fan of Mandos too!

[MandoJoe]

Hmm. Doesn't appear to be a direct word for Hope. I know that Venku (as in Venku "Kad'ika" Skirata), which is derived from the word "Ven" (Future) is in reference to a positive outlook on the future. "Jate" is the word for good, so Jate Ven would be the literal translation of a good future. Ori'Jate (Very Good) Ven, maybe? Venku would probably be the best bet, as far as "hope" goes, though.

Here's the completed hilt.

This is from the front with the flash on.

So this is the hilt as I wanted it, the only thing missing is the insert for the pommel. My wife wanted to have some custom engraving done for Christmas, so I will post pics when I get it . The solid pommel insert is the reason for the holes drilled around the pommel.

Still undecided on the name...

That is one mighty fine lookin' saber ya got there. I have to ask, is it powder coated or painted, because those are some very nice lines between the colors. Very well done.

[Kyaryo Ysoyav]

Thanks! I am very happy with how it came out! It's hand painted and then baked on. I used painters tape after baking on the black spray on the emitter and pommel, but the 4 gold stripes on the main hilt body are just painted in. They were recessed anyways, so it wasn't too hard. I have a little experience with detail painting from Warhammer 40,000 miniatures I used to paint.

40k is always helpful for detail painting. I haven't played or done anything with my Space Marine army in years.

[Kyaryo Ysoyav]

Me either...played Space Marines, too!

My saber is now properly enshrined:

Picked this up at Michael's last night. Cost about $15 total. The saber is resting on two felt covered watch holders that were in the clearance section. Yay Black Friday (Which I normally hate, but since it was open last night, it wasn't bad ).
