Title: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: lovetadraw on June 13, 2017, 05:20:35 PM The Kylo-Renegade. I got a Renegade empty and gutted it, DARN that's a big hilt. Love the neck though. Most of the hilt is TCSS. It's installed with some otherguys electronics allowing for that dank staggered ignition. I'll have more pics and video when I can :)
(http://i68.tinypic.com/10sertc.jpg) (http://i67.tinypic.com/2hywd3b.jpg) Aluminum Black and spray paint on the parts to give them the weathered look. Icicle lights as the side-blades (since US doesn't sell pairs of them anyway.) Scarred up midgrade blade (as pitforce showed off so well.) Deep Red main and green leds for the flash, gives a nice amber flash. Flash on all 3 blades :) http://imgur.com/gallery/3grxK Shout out to Calculon and PitForceFive to their great Flamberge mods. Shout out to US for their great crosspieces. Video soon. Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: Therion Jinn on June 14, 2017, 02:55:36 AM A LOT of work going into this one. And it shows
Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: lovetadraw on June 14, 2017, 09:29:12 PM Ooooh yes, and LOTS of planning. FYI, getting big w5 or greater resistors down the throat of a crossguard lightsaber is HAAAAaard.

Probably one of the coolest Flamberge mods I've seen so far next to my buddies out in Colorado =] I like how you did the side emitters too. Since the main hilt looks somewhat shorter now is it kinda harder to get a good grip or not really? I need to get me a royal blue led and proper buckpuck from them to put in my custom Shock saber this summer :P

Post by: Isola815 on June 15, 2017, 08:38:58 AM Probably one of the coolest Flamberge mods I've seen so far So modified that it became a Renegade and not a Flamberge! ::) Seriously good work though, lovetadraw! Would love to see some more detailed pictures if you find the time :) points coming your way. Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: Zren Tobas on June 15, 2017, 09:00:57 AM Oh right. Was tired and had a stressful day yesterday so didn't really notice it x.x So my bad. Really is cool though
Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: lovetadraw on June 15, 2017, 03:21:18 PM Yeah, I was gonna use a Flamberge but I got tired of waiting and went with a Renegade. Worked better for my purposes anyway :)
Tiny Pic isn't working for me so more Imgur albums it is, sorry. http://imgur.com/a/0r0mH Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: scifidude79 on June 15, 2017, 03:34:43 PM This is really sick. I like how you got that "short and squatty" look of Kylo's saber out of an UltraSabers Renegade. Sure, it took a lot of custom work, but it's totally worth it. It says "Kylo" but it's also uniquely yours. A great blend. :)

Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: nathanielreykun on June 15, 2017, 04:37:36 PM Great job! I especially like the covertec way at the top--is it doubling as a blade retention screw?
Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade! Post by: lovetadraw on June 15, 2017, 04:59:00 PM Yeah, I forgot to get a hole tapped on the bottom, so I went with the only logical option :P US blades are tight AF in TCSS blade holders so I doesn't need to be too tight.

I like how you got that "short and squatty" look... Short and Squatty, much like its builder xD. I doesn't look it but it's almost 12" long. The width of the cross shroud hides that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhuDPNCJZZE Title: Re: The Kylo Ren-egade!
