New MHS idea. Wanna run by everyone for opinions

[Warlock]

Started on my shroud today. Figured I'd post some details and images in case it may help others, I know I dug around for a bit before I felt I had a good hand on starting the design.

One thing that helped a ton, go to Youtube, look up TCSS channel, sub to it. Madcow has a great shroud video, not to mention all the other helpful videos he's done.

For the most part I followed Madcow's example. The one thing I changed, where he's making a template directly for the shroud material I first made one directly to the saber part I want my shroud on.




Reasoning was to make sure I have it matched up to my activation box. Next I had been saving various cardboard tubes, papertowl rolls, foil rolls etc. Found one that just fit over the shroud material and then took my paper template and copied the design.



Sadly I have to work nights this week so I'm stopping here. Well try to continue as the weekend processes,....I'll be sure to post more images and details!



One thing I left out. Design, I'm thinking of making two of these shrouds, because my original idea was to take the top of the shroud and from the bottom of the activation box down cut out. Sort of a "V" notch for the switch assembly to sit in. May make one with and one without to see how they both look. I'm concerned that with that notch and the shape the two fingers of the "V" will not have enough material to remain secure without screwing them down and that would take away from the design I think.
