Vyper by eastern57 & Arkai Halon
This is Vyper.
The original design was by Arkai Halon. The control box was machined by Arm on Fire. The holes in the back of the box fed (external) wires from the switch down into the choke. It was originally all black with red accents. Very stealthy - and very deadly looking. Version 1
The second version was powder coated almost entirely red, with small sections black. The red powder coating was done by Vader's Vault. It was stil very deadly looking but as an overt threat - a warrior's weapon (vice assassin). Version 2
This is version three. The basic design concept is the same, but with some more changes. The most obvious is the return to the silver finish. Most of the PC was sanded off; the red parts are the leftover powder coating. Some of the parts were swapped. The pommel was a BH6 that was modified by Goodman. The claws were the legs of a metal scorpion that I filed down to both fit comfortably on the edge of the box and look uniform (to each other).
The entire electronics suite was pulled and upgraded:
- CF v4
-- Assassin
-- Rain Sizzle
-- Blackstar (V4)
-- Mongrel (w/ rattle snake swings)
-- EP V Remastered
-- EP III Obi/Ani
- 2x 14500s (AW)
- 1.3mm RP (in control box)
- Internal crystal chassis
- LED-string blade (78 LEDs)
- Illuminate Pommel plug
Additional features:
- The blade is white PolyC with an MR foam insert protecting the LED-string
- Quick-disconnect so I can swap blades easily
- All the controls are in the control box: both switches and RP
