Godfather, an MHS custom by Ty_Bomber

GODFATHER
PC 2.0
Tri-Rebel RRW w/Reds in Series and White foc
2w high bass speaker
7.4V Li-Ion battery pack
MadCow's "Korriban" soundfont purchased at Saberfont.com
100% MHS based parts

This is a very personal saber for me. This marks my first MHS custom piece, and my first foray into Plecterlab products with custom soundfonts. Considering that I have only worked with MR soundboards, this was a huge jump for me. I am quite pleased to share the results. The parts are simply painted and sanded for a weathered look. The shroud is cut with a dremel, hacksaw, and files (e57 style) and inspired by the works of Vader's Vault, but I did something a bit more simple to suit my skill level. This also marks my first chassis. I went with black PVC to keep my costs low, with mixed results. I probably won't use it again in the future, as it warps easily and flakes considerably. Anyway, on with the show.

A very special thanks to everyone who advised me during the build and to everyone in this community. I couldn't have done it without you.

Nice, its got a bit of a starkiller/ahsoka look to it, but where is the switch?

Sorry, totally forgot to take a pic of the other side!

Here is the placement of the recharge port and switches. On a side note the recharge port was pretty much flush with the edge ofthe saber, so the back of a work issued pin was glued to the back to make it easier to grab.

Oooo nicely done Ty! I've been wanting to do a dual-shroud saber like this with a very similar design, but you beat me to it fair and square and did a killer job with it too!

Wondering the same thing as DarthMarr - where are the switches located?
Edit: saw that you answered this while i was typing

Very nice work, especially with that shroud piece.

Looks pretty good, definitely see the VV influence.

I think the rounded portions of the shrouds could use more work though. Some files and sandpaper could fix that in an hour or so.

Otherwise, solid job on your first saber.
