1ST SABER COMPLETED!

[TheCheeker]

ok i FINALLY finished my first saber after TONS of work. the overlays are just basic sink tube cut w/ a dremel (1st time handling a dremel too) the pommel is spray painted (1st time painting metal). the gold ring is sink tube w/ the chrome sanded off. inside i'm running a green k2, corbin's driver, and a MR board for sound. the hole for the switch had to be widened a bit with a file to accommodate for the larger DPDT switch. Let me know what you think!









the blade has a lining of 6-7ft of polypropylene inside corbin's film and looks incredible. here are before and after shots of the blade first with just corbin's film and then with the polypropylene/corbin combination.

A very interesting design... I like how you modified the "graflex hilt concept" to give it your own touches. I also like the "gold" parts, it´s a nice touch. I´d work a little more on the shroud, though, but that´s just my personal view

Definitely like the gold accents, pretty neat for spray-paint. Personally I don't go a bundle on such prominent buttons, but that's just me.

That turned very nice for your first saber!

sorry if the images are broken from time to time. i have them uploaded on an old geocities.com account i have. Normally it's fine but for some reason lately the site has been going down for no reason. i'll try to put them up on imageshack or something like that soon.

i agree actually. i couldn't find a DPDT switch that fit any better. i had to buy it online and it was the only one that looked like it could fit the switch hole in the mhs piece. i still had to file the hole once i got the switch and by that point i didn't feel like trying to find another.

maybe so... that particular cut wasn't the best and by the time i got done filing and sanding all the overlay stuff i was just ready to put it all together. considering that it was my first attempt at the overlay there were very few imperfections.
