Title: Jade Nova Post by: shade_1313 on April 11, 2017, 10:33:56 PM When the Emperor's Hand saber came out, I wasn't really sure about it. I've never been a big fan of the emitter on the Mara Jade type sabers. But, it's MHS, and I did very much like the rest of it, so I ordered an empty, to see what I could make of it. I also had hopes (slim hopes) that the sleeve for the lower grip section and the ring sleeve towards the emitter might fit over a Graflex, because I thought that would be neat, and the ring near the emitter had grooves that matched the Graflex' sleeve that the activation box mounts on. Nope. The Graflex is too big to fit them over.
But...TCSS does make a Graflex emitter, I realized... I also really wanted to play with photon blades, so my color was set. Powered by a TRI-GB MLS unit, this green is REALLY bright, and between that and playing on the origin of the EH saber, I present the Jade Nova.

I would have loved to have simply crashed an Ultrasabers Graflex into an Emperor's Hand, for the visual tie of the two sleeve rings matching, but in the absence of any way to do so, I did what I could do. Credit to Ultrasabers for a beautiful hilt to work with, and all of the electronic bits which are so easy to work with in building your own saber.

I had to do a very very little bit of sanding of the hilt, just to adjust it by a few degrees. Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: firehand10k on April 11, 2017, 10:53:15 PM I expected as much. Just being nosey as to how lucky you are.
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Lord Canterbury on April 11, 2017, 11:28:50 PM Looks great!
Not a combo I would have ever imagined, but it really works! Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Corwyn VonBeck on April 11, 2017, 11:42:40 PM Wow, that really came together well! Impressive work Shade, impressive indeed!
Points! Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: hazard502 on April 12, 2017, 12:02:11 AM The EH is such a beautiful template to work from - fantstic mod.
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: MavRick on April 12, 2017, 12:59:43 AM It looks pretty good to me, so point to you my friend.
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: scifidude79 on April 12, 2017, 01:22:45 AM That's awesome! I really like that emitter with the Emperor's Hand body. It's a unique combo that really works on so many levels. Great work. ;D
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: JediXIX on April 12, 2017, 02:38:30 AM Very cool . . . +1 bro :)
I think, I like just about anything with the Graflex style emitter, I have one on an Archon v2 body at the moment 8) Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Hansrad on April 12, 2017, 03:06:24 AM That emiiter works fantastic on there! What a great idea. Gives a nice sleeker look to the saber.
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Lord Bladewraith on April 12, 2017, 03:13:29 AM Love the photon blades and what you've just done there combined with them is an A-1 classy mod. Love how that looks. It's kind of freaky really how well two sabers, one canon and one non-canon, marry together so well like that. Great idea!
+1 Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Zren Tobas on April 12, 2017, 03:56:20 AM Very nice for sure :P
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: HoverFloat on April 12, 2017, 10:37:07 PM That's one stunningly beautiful saber! I was in the same boat as you. I couldn't decide on whether or not I liked the emitter on the EH, but I very much liked the rest of the hilt and was primarily interested in the MHS possibilities... and the pommel... especially the pommel. :P
Point! Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: RevanReborn on April 12, 2017, 11:38:51 PM Awesome! That's a wicked saber, great work! I love how detailed both the main sections are, it makes for an amazing hilt- so much to love. And the photon blade just sets it off too. Very cool :).
Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Rapine on April 17, 2017, 02:32:16 PM Spectacular shade!
That really does look cool. :) The EH certainly is a versatile hilt. You possess great vision though, since I couldn't have imagined that. :P +1 for cool. 8) Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: TheDutchman on April 19, 2017, 06:32:53 PM When the Emperor's Hand saber came out, I wasn't really sure about it.

The graflex being my favorite, seeing such a masterful customization is a treat to see. GREAT job :) Title: Re: Jade Nova Post by: Jediseth on April 19, 2017, 10:42:27 PM I really like that!!! Great job.
