Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: Landen Se-Sentien on June 18, 2017, 12:36:41 PM Bravo! One of my favorite video game saber designs, and you did a lot of very clean work on that.
Point! Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: Therion Jinn on June 18, 2017, 03:51:48 PM I like it.
Not usually fond of the claws, but it works on this one Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: armsofilum on June 19, 2017, 02:38:11 AM Thanks for the kind words, folks.
The claws are every bit as long as they look. They're the Super Sith version, so you're looking at 7-8" in added length with the claws. The hilt as a whole is huge. It somewhat makes me hope that one day US will move the the MHS V2 standard, but it is what it is. In all honesty, I never really intended to do this build. I was working on another project and had a major US-based LED retailer botch up an order twice. The end result was that I had an extra Tri-Cree XP-E2 laying around with no saber for it to live inside. That had to change. Since there really aren't any canonical orange sabers at this time, I wanted to go with something that at least seemed right for the orange that the amber and red dice make. The Raven fit the bill. Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: Taegin Roan on June 19, 2017, 06:06:30 AM Quite the gorgeous piece of work there. And you're right, It looks amazing in Orange. True, I think any saber looks amazing in orange, but this one especially. I always use an orange blade on TFU2, so it works amazing. I know that this hilt is based more off of #1, but still cool. Nice job.

Funny that you mention the LED. That was the color I always used with that saber in TFU, so it really does look like what I always used in the game. I keep coming back to this page to admire it, so have another point Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: Jediseth on June 19, 2017, 03:46:10 PM Very nicely done!
Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: Ginsu117 on June 19, 2017, 05:40:17 PM Very nice paint job, what did you use to make the precise shapes, I usually do a whole piece or paint free hand
Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: armsofilum on June 19, 2017, 07:19:13 PM Very nice paint job, what did you use to make the precise shapes, I usually do a whole piece or paint free hand Thanks! So because I used powder coat, free hand isn't really an option. To get the shapes, I used digital calipers to measure for spacing and my Silhouette Cameo to cut Oracal 631 vinyl for the masks. Let me know if I shouldn't be posting this, but I put together a guide for my process: http://armsofilum.net/2017/06/04/powder-coating-saber-hilts-using-vinyl-stencils/ (http://armsofilum.net/2017/06/04/powder-coating-saber-hilts-using-vinyl-stencils/) Title: Re: Starkiller Stalker: Custom US Raven Post by: MavRick on June 19, 2017, 08:59:51 PM Now that is the kind of clean looking modification I like to see. Very nice job. Point to you good Sir. :o
