CHRONOS by Nuclear Jedi Sabers

[cannibal869]

Hello Saberland!

I know it’s been a while since I posted a build (mostly cause I’ve been building my entry into the TCSS Contest ) Well, I finally finished my steampunk themed saber. Nuclear Jedi Sabers is proud to present to you…

CHRONOS

This was a fun build with occasional moments of frustration and cursing. During this build, the cram-fu was severely tested (*ALL* the electonics and the slip ring are housed in front of the choke section). One battery is located in the choke and the second is in the rear hilt on top of the battery meter.

The front shroud is a brass graflex replica with a lot of watch parts and elements incorporated into it. The design of the shroud was inspired by Slothfurnace’s Derelict. On the top of the shroud is a (non-working) small watch element and on the underside is a mesh-lined emitter port. The choke area is covered by a gold weathered watch band. In the pommel is a real working watch element. There’s a working battery gauge meter in the rear of the hilt as well. The activation switch is a mini toggle flip switch surrounded by a small motor stator from a 2.5” hard drive.

WOW...that's NOT your entry?!
Not even sure where to start on this one. The steampunk theme is alive and well! I love all the watch accents, the hard drive parts, a cool toggle switch, I could just go on. I absolutely love the kill key!
Really well done.

Looks cool man.

Excellent job. Good amount of function in that saber. Nice Fu. The hilt, the blade, the font, It all goes together very well too. Super win dude.

[cardcollector]

well, I can kiss my chance of winning the contest goodbye... (not that I had a chance anyway )

I love everything about this saber. The weathering is perfect, and the motor on the activation box is a perfect touch.

props to you sir.

Dude, That it flippen out of this world. It's like George Lucas's Star Wars meets H.G.Wells's The Time Machine or Jules Verne's 10 000 Leagues Under The Sea. At least thats what I think of when I look at it. I love the working watch mechanism in the pommel.

You did a wonderful job.

[Darth Midian]

That turned out great!!!. I love the stand you have for it. All in all, that is just awesome.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

@ Cardcollector - I strongly believe *EVERYONE* who enters has a chance. I've seen your sabers and believe me, they're DEFINITELY good enough to win. Remember, it's not just about what you build or how you build it, it's also about the clarity of your pics, and how you "sell" it.

Good point, gotta remember the good pics...

The problem is... I would vote for this saber over my own...
