    Talking LDM's Do-Clo Redux

    I am not sure what name Do-Clo gave this saber, but it had potential so I figured I'd see if I could get her running. EDIT: its name is Terminus.

    When I got it, it was not in working order. Turns out, it was speakerless, had a disconnected wire on the switch and the battery pack was totally FUBARed...well, she's all fixed and I was able to try a few new concepts that I have been mulling around because they just seemed to fit this hilt!

    The particulars:

    Custom Do-Clo hilt with machined brass enitter and custom pommel
    MR Sith sound
    TCSS guarded switch
    Lux III red
    Recharge/kill with custom brass key
    3.7V Li-ion
    MR speaker (cannibalized)
    Brass wire inlay
    LDM custom grip material
    LDM custom blade

    Here is the video:

    God that is a gorgeous hilt.

    No wonder (again) why I chose Don to "pimp my ride" and make me a saber.

    Not sure if I like the grip but to each there own right. I do love the Brass wire "accents". It really gives it a profesional finish. Also the emitter is sharp.

    wow, the grip has really created a love it or not scenario. Suffice to say, the grip looks perfectly proportioned in real life and is very comfortable to hold.

    I can't say I like this rework but hey that is a matter of opinion, lol

    The grip section looks odd to me.

    I agree...in the pictures. It is kinda funny, but I LOVE it in person and considered not even posting it because of how it looks in the pix. No one has to worry, because I won't be selling it. I gets a place of honor on my wall right next to Starkiller!
