Title: Consular modification (finished and pic heavy!) Post by: Ekosk on March 04, 2015, 03:20:34 AM Ladies and gentlemen of SaberForum, I present to you my US Qui-Gon Jinn, formerly the Consular.
When I first got it, I knew I wanted to do something special with it, so I set about finding where I can get an accurate AV switch and holes drilled into the shroud. As you all know, I got the shroud done first by Caz of Darkside Engineering. (http://i57.tinypic.com/357irfd.jpg) Next came the switch. I contacted One Replicas VIA email because I knew he made a special switch for his Qui-Gon sabers. (http://i60.tinypic.com/oivgpc.jpg) So it sat around in my room for awhile until I met with a guy who just happened to know how to work wonders with a soldering iron and wiring (as I have no idea how to work with either in fear of damaging the saber) and he installed the switch over the weekend. (http://i59.tinypic.com/1zxs0tj.jpg) Needless to say, I am pleased with how this turned out. It was a bit more elaborate than what I originally planned (if my Consular had come with a black guarded momentary switch, I would have gotten a red TCSS thumbscrew, dremeled the screw part off and glued it to the button itself that way or would have gotten a Sedsti Skyfaller switch cover in the button style). Also I decided to use a silver screw on the covertec wheel to make it a little more accurate, and I think the saber is pretty much perfect now. (http://i62.tinypic.com/2cqgz6e.jpg) Thanks for looking guys and if you ever have an idea for your sabers, plan it out, then implement it, then bask in the glory of your personalization/customization. As always, May the Force be with you, always. Title: Re: Consular modification (finished and pic heavy!)
