Hey everyone! Over the past few months, as time has permitted, I have been drawing and designing a few different ideas I've had floating around in my head. The one I present to you today I've come to call Rekos: Ascension. It should be obvious what the inspiration for this saber was. As I said in the past Rahm Kota's saber is my favorite saber. This design is an homage to his saber, but with a little artistic license.
Keeping in line with my own personal philosophy of 'less is more' I incorporated the control box into the hilt as opposed to on the hilt. This section houses the switches and recharge port. A few details were added to complete the look. On the left I've added 4 accent LED's and on the right I plan to machine 3 vents, mostly because I think it looks cool! Next is an inlaid leather grip and finally a custom pommel finishes it off.
Finally I've been wanting to build a saber with a crystal chamber but I wanted it to be at the right time. I feel like this idea is perfect for a crystal chamber. Recently I have been very inspired by the attention to detail of Goodman's G-Core, so I took some cues from his work. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and hopefully Goodman feels the same way!
Anyways I would love to get some feedback from everyone -- good or bad. Opinions, thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are all welcome and encouraged. And don't worry you're not gonna hurt my feelings. Finally you'll have to forgive the quality of the pics below. I'm not familiar with any of the 3D CAD programs available....so....MS Paint it is. Hey, it's not fancy, but it works!!
