TNT, a color changing saber with NB v1

[Don Se Wion]

It's a long time I don't post sabers on this forum, but it doesn't mean I've been sitting idle.
Today I want to introduce one of my latest creations: TNT



This is the personal saber of my fianc?e (and her birthday present) and she chose the name because the plain hilt without the shroud looked like a TNT stick. She is using the saber during her lessons at the Academy and I finally had the time to take some good pictures before becoming too much beaten for showing her off. We designed the saber together, from choosing the MHS parts to the layout of the brass shroud, the black leather strap on the emitter choke is her finalizing touch.

Considering that we support the Academy during special events, I wanted to give her the ability to switch color of the blade when needed since more color variety is always preferred to the academic blue in these cases. Using two separate slider switches it's possible to select blue, red or purple blades. Contrary to what I expected, my fianc?e preferred the shade of purple given by the B/R pair rather than the rB/R. The switches are accessible unscrewing the pommel since we didn't want unexpected color changes using the saber. The soundboard is the lovely Nano Biscotte v1, which is currently the preferred board for the sabers at the Academy for its quality and affordable price.

But, enough of chatting, here are the specs and some glam photos.
Many thanks for checking her out.
