Thread: Anguish - a Claw saber (first build)

  1. #1

    Default Anguish - a Claw saber (first build)

    Im glad to show you my first saber build! Anguish!

    I really like the look of claw sabers so i decided to design a saber with somesort of claw attached to it.
    The overal build was quite the challenge because i dont have any advanced machines to my proposal. So i ended up doing almost everything by hand except for drilling holes. But this made the build way more interesting and fun!! The saber is build out of modified mhs parts. The claw (crafted out of a piece of steel makes the hilt look quite brutal and this tends to make it look like a sith saber.
    I also went for a relic-ish look, thats why i didnt use any lightup switches or accent LED's.I medium weathered the hilt with some black spray paint, but im not fully satisfied yet so i might do some more weathering. During the install i had alot of problems concerning the space. I really made optimal use of the space i had and the saber is pretty much stuffed now. I can edit the configurations by using R.I.C.E. the crytal chamber contains a real course quartz cristal and is lit up by a RGB LED.
    I etched some celtic symbols into the bottom section. The pommel contains some etchings aswell (aurebesh).


    SPECS

    Plecter labs PRIZM 3.5 soundboard
    CREE XM-L RGBW LED module (white dye not used)
    Double tactile switch setup
    2W Bass speaker
    18650 li-ion 3.7v 3200 mah battery in hilt rechargable
































    I'd love to hear your opinions! feel free be critical and to give tips!

    p.s SOOO excited for Rogue One

    Mmm, gritty and grimy. Just looking at it evokes the smell of an automotive repair shop. Love it.

    That is a very pretty saber ner vod...love the exposed crystal & the way the claw runs the length of the hilt.

    Incredible first saber. It looks so tactile, like it's saying 'hold me, use me and I will guide you to the darkside'. Well done.
