    Default My newest build, inspired by Madcow of Genesis Custom Sabers

    I, like many others, love the designs of the amazing Rob "Madcow" Petkau, including the saber so great it's already had two runs (maybe three soon?):

    The Corran Horn Lightsaber

    Since I haven't been able to convince my lovely wife to allow me to spend that much money (at one time, at least), I built my own. This thing has been in process for about 2 years now, mainly due to work, school, kids, wife, and other assorted craziness, but it's finally finished. Well, until I device to make changes. Big shout out to Rob, Tim (TCSS), Naigon, Darth Ryo, darthxusia, and Sanjuro for their contributions.

    Note: This saber is not for sale, nor will it ever leave my collection, out of respect for Rob's ownership of the design.

    All MHS parts
    Powder coating done by yours truly
    NEC Igniter Mini R5
    NEC Z6 LED
    Main chassis and crystal chamber by Darth Ryo (CC paint job by me, it was ordered as black flexible rather than metal to save cash)
    Crystal is a Herkimer Diamond (actually a type of quartz)
    Custom Copper buttons
    Kill-key by Sanjuro
    Custom Dual-Phase sound from darthxusia, pulled from DMC4 (sword rev sound, this is a speeder bike handle, right? In fact, this sound is the sole reason this build has an Igniter!)

    Side note, the saber bag was not created for this build but for my personal design (awaiting some CC love). It was custom made by Defcon4.

    That's beautiful! The purple was an inspired choice and the crystal chamber works really well. It's great to see so much collaboration executed so well.

    Agreed, great tribute. By far one of my favorite designs out there and you did a nice job capturing its vibe.

    Very nice. I love the Corran Horn design.

    Is that real carbon fiber on the emitter, or just a decal?
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    YES! CORRAN HORN! Kudos for making that.
    Enemies are not accidental or unfortunate. We make them, we earn them, and we nurture them, whether we realize it or not. If we can't find real enemies, we'll invent them and make them as big as we can. They become out justification for living, or excuses for our own failings. Many of us would suffer if we didn't have them- who would need Jedi if there were no Dark Force users?

    Nice! I've got the same crystal chamber in mine, been meaning to take pics of it.
