    Default Cannibal presents LOCKHEED

    Just a teaser pic for now...

    Thanks Fenderbender for the name suggestion!

    Finished powdercoating everything.
    The shroud is powdercoated in "Purple Starlight" and the grooves in the hilt are powdercoated in "Black Gold Glimmer"
    The combination, especially when combined with the gold inner part of the shroud that shows through near the crystal chamber is really quite stunning both indoors and out.



    Most of the electronics is already wired up, but I'm waiting for a few things:
    1). A RBW custom Tri-rebel from XWingband
    2). A wiring tutorial on how to do white clash flash with an MR board.

    I've already experimented a bit with making flash clash work, but I think there's a missing component of some sort, maybe a power extender or corbin's board (I tried using a buckpuck, but it's not quite the same). I've gotten it to work with the green turning on, but it's so short-lived that it's basically unnoticeable.

    In lieu of the above parts, I already have things wired up in the meantime to use a Seoul RGB with the red and blue wired in series for a purple blade. This saber will be using a purple 5mm accent LED for a quartz crystal and also a latching yellow LED ring anti-vandal switch.

    Enjoy!

    Sorry it's been a while... Finally some finished pics.
    I may still retool the main switch one of these days as the vandal seems to have a lot of bounce to it, which as you all know, the US doesn't quite like.
    The RRB ended up giving a pink color to the blade, so I went with just a single Red and Blue. The color is almost spot on...


    Bottom View - you can see the master power switch on the bottom near the shroud





    Enjoy!

    Very, very cool.
    I love the color combination on the hilt, and the LED is really tuned well!
