Hey everyone !  I just finished my VERY FIRST! Curved hilt !  Very excited about it. It is made from PVC / P4 Green / Econo Obi Soundboard.  Plus, I finished my other stunt Starkiller from TFU II !  I hope everyone enjoys. And THANKS SO MUCH to everyone on all the forums, and to anyone who helped/directed me in the right direction. Couldnt have done it without ya !







AND MY STARKILLERS !

These turned out great! How was putting in the econo board? I plan on using the econo board sometime in the future.

Looks nice. I might build a shorter version of the starkiller sabers for dual wielding purposes.

I whole-heartedly agree with everyone on this!! The curved-hilt saber looks fantastic and the econo obi soundboard completes it nicely. Your TFUII Starkillers are very accurate and I love them regardless if one is slightly different than the other. I've always planned on making a curve-hilt saber; do you have any tips on curved-hilt construction from your experiences?

Wow, Thanks everyone so much for all the nice complements. I actually didnt expect so many. : )  

EDIT:  "Sorry everyone. I had put info on here that didnt belong"
Ill try and post a couple more pictures of the curved hilt with Red and Cyan "Crystals"
To everyone else thanks again for all the great words !            

UPDATE:  Here is the curved hilt with different "crystals". I didnt put the green in cause its already been seen and I didnt put my Lux Rebel Cyan cause its almost the same shade green and not even a noticable difference on camera.  No blue yet for this one.

P4 RED


P4 WHITE


P4 WHITE W/PURPLE FILTERS


P4 WHITE W/ YELLOW FILTER

Love the yellow!  I think my next saber will have to be in yellow somehow.

I think you used 3w white leds right?
what kind of resistor did you use with your current set up?
4X1,5 volts is 6V right?

Yes... 3w Seoul P4 White.    I think i used a 4.7ohm 5w  resistor just to be safe.  The white ones only need a 3.3ohm 5w but I know you can always go up but not down.   And yes my battery set up for this was 4 AAA  @ 1.5v  =  6v total.

I will be deploying soon for a year so my saber building will be haulted but I will still be active on the forum.   
Take care friend...                                                                                                                                                     YouSeekYoda

Dang, that white looks nice. After settling in for yellow, suddenly, conflict once again. Dang it...

Anyone know if that would be the same LED / power set up Ultra would use?
