Eastern57's "Mongrel" (CF V2.63 w/ V Green)

[eastern57]

Okay... if anyone still cares. I finished the next set of changes. plus I have some pretty pictures to go with it.

First, I finished... uh, the finish. Sprayed it with three coats of clear coat epoxy. I was comparing pictures, and it DID fade some before the sealant went on. It's not a strong copper anymore, but a better "rusty bucket" now.

The bubble strip turned out not-too-bad... I think I'll keep it as is. I used the metal brush on a dremel and "swept" the inside of the excess cement and crap. It also ended up with a nice frosty look to it.

As I said before, I changed the switches to accomodate the left hand, because the right will be holding it higher up.

And... Lastly... I have some pictures of the Lux V, in all it's glory. sucker's bright.

k, here's the pics:

Thank you for keeping up with me this far!

Looks better with the color lightened up now in my opinion. It turned out really cool.

Great work, Eastern... I like the rust color--that's kind of what I did to both the "dark" and "light" Flange IIIs, only not as detailed!

Out of curiousity:

how long is the saber?
battery solution?
Seems to be an Ultra-style/Gelu blade? If not, what is it...
Finally, did you ever get what you wanted from your resonance chamber (the right length you wanted?)

Looks nice!

Thanks. Now that I think of it... other than the center section, it doesn't really resemble your's and Helmet's all that much... I'm sure it's way longer too (13.5")...

LOL! Dang it, Novastar - you always step in when I'm typing a message

Thanks too. It's 13.5" (pretty long)... The 18650's work beautifully, they're ultrafires, very powerful and easy to work with - they're awesome!

Yes, it's an ultrablade, good eyes!

And the resonance chamber is perfect too. The long body behind it and the holes around the clamp add more body and sound distribution - it's very loud!

People like the Zen sound font in this one - although it seems to scare some...

i think the acient saber font fits this one. it just looks like it would go better with it.

[eastern57]

It did have ancient saber on it, and it fit really well.
