Thread: Need opinions...

  1. #1

    Default Need opinions...

    I am looking at maybe re-designing two sabers. I have all the parts except a 2 or 3 inch section depending on what way I go. I need some advice because I can't really decide.

    Right now I have this



    and can make this...



    but should I move some pieces around and make this...



    and this...



    Plan A is the top two.
    Plan B is the bottom 2.

    Oh and I am planing a green and blue blade. Those are the LEDs I have. Thanks for the coments.

    I like your first new design. It is compact yet sturdy...Perfect for dueling

    I edited my post to make it more clear. I am asuming you are saying go with the top two.

    I am building two sabers out of these. Either the top two or bottom two.

    I like Plan B. The Obi-inspired model looks better prportioned in that set up than in the topmost version.

    I agree with Jay-gon, the Plan B sabers are much better proportioned.

    I'd go with B, because it just looks better to me and it seems more "dualable".

    I say plan B too,though i'd use a shorter section to attach the switch on the 2nd one in B (That is, if i'm reading you first post right about getting another 2/3" piece)

    Depends on the size of your hands and your grip style. I think B looks better but might be a little short if you like to use a two handed grip and have big hands like I do.
    Eventually you figure it out
