Proto-saber (completed9/10/07)

[gundamaniac]

wow. That is mighty impressive. Almost makes me want to try a similar project, except I like playing with my sabers and taking them everywhere, which looks to be a bit of a pain with a wire and box hanging off the end. And the EL wire looks to be a pain to work with

Very cool though. Pics of you in costume with the saber? Please?

[ArkaiHalon]

costume is still in progress (still designing it)
it's actually pretty fun to play with. I strapped it on last night and went out back. the cable is like 5 feet long, so it's got plenty of freedom.

[goldsaberwarrior]

Sweet. Thats cool for a proto saber.

[gundamaniac]

I imagine all that light would be cool =P. But the cord coming out prevents spinny twirly fun stuff right?

[Hasid Lafre]

He does have 5 foot of "cord" so if your carefull you can do some spins but I dont think spinning is fun stuff.

Actually dueling is fun stuff :P

[gundamaniac]

That too =P

But wouldn't it be easy for the enemy's blade to be entangled in the cord?....

[Hasid Lafre]

Not really, just learn a defencive form of dueling to protect yourself and the sabers components. then strike when the time is rioght.

Persionally I think its cool as hell but I think dueling would be diffacult, Having to worry about the cord and such.

What I would try to do is get the most powerfull led possable with a colored celophane type film.

[ArkaiHalon]

since I don't have anyone to duel with, I don't know how easy it would be.
but, i'm pretty sure that would be the reason that the non protosaber was invented.

and be on the look out for Proto2, coming soon.

[gundamaniac]

Can't wait to see it. This one's already as cool as Hoth...

oh god. I'm trying to be punny again...
