    Default Aquavenger

    My latest saber: Aquavenger.

    Awhile back my Mother in Law had expressed interest in having a Lightsaber built for herself. My wife Aurora and I both thought it would make a great Christmas present since parents are always so hard to buy for. Aurora had mentioned how much her mom really enjoyed the ocean and nautical themes, so I figured I'd run with that.

    Aquavenger uses MHS parts from The Custom Saber Shop and is powdercoated in Blue Ice Explosion with Sliver accented grips. The pommel, emitter, and shroud are powdercoated in Silver Explosion. The shroud was designed by Aurora. It was designed after the shape of a Nautilus Cephalopod. Quite the pain in the rear to cut, but I think it turned out really nice! The blade is a Luxeon III Cyan led. There is a real Quartz crystal in the slotted middle section illuminated by a Green LED and a blinky Blue LED. It is powered by 4 rechargeable NiMH AAA batteries and a Yoda soundboard. There is a killswitch/recharge port in the pommel for in hilt charging.

    Here are a few pictures of the rough cut before filing down the dremel overshoots:



    Here is the final saber:

    And nautical-themed it is! That is one NICE looking price of hardware. Great Job. I'm sure she will love that as a Christmas present.

    That's pretty cool man. Intricate shroud work there. I do not envy you having to cut that sucker.

    I really like those PC colors.

    And that shroud really looked like a PITA to cut.

    Nice Christmas present for your MIL.
