After a long period of brainstorming, I finally was able to finish adding the bits and pieces I wanted on my Bellicose.





I'm sure you are all aware that the Bellicose, while being a cool hilt, is not very customizable due to the fact the only swappable MHS part is the pommel. I settled for an Archon Pommel on my hilt.

All of the bits I added are external, there isn't a spot of glue or drill bit mark anywhere, thus making it all removable. I mainly used flexible metal wire to fasten things to the hilt in the groove areas. Everything is very securely fastened to the hilt, to my surprise, it's able to take quite a bit of shock without any of the features I added moving or breaking off!

The emitter shroud was a bit of PVC that I sanded, carved and painted one afternoon that ended up sliding firmly over the pommel without any slippage.

The retention screw was replaced with a larger thumb screw for easy blade removal.





I made a little cracked Kyber crystal by purchasing a quartz crystal and jamming it into a holder that fits nicely into the second (black) blade-holder that I use when the blade is not attached.

Also, I turned the red button black. I think it looks a lot better.







I sanded and burned with a BIC lighter the inside of the emitter and the silver blade-holder to give a burned/blued steel effect.

Finally, my favorite part is the unstable blade I made by coating a normal ultrasabers blade with transparent silicone rubber. As with all ultrasbers photos, it doesn't really do it justice, and looks a lot better in person.









Tell my what you think! I've been working on it for a few days and I'm eager to hear comments/criticism!  Cool

Wow man- really creative.  Very cool details, love the look of this!  Awesome job!  Everything looks wicked- especially love the shroud and wire.  Crystal looks wicked too!  Point incoming ASAP.

I agree with everyone, you took the Bellicose to a new level. The amount of mods you did really changes the feel and I esp like the routing of the wire and that nice shroud. Point!

Point awarded for some cool, original ideas.

What exactly is the product you used to coat the blade - the transparent silicone?  Is it something we can easily buy?

Thanks & great job!

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

It's great to see new customizations inspired by new saber designs. The wiring is a nice touch and the black shroud really brings this saber over to the dark side. That blade is wicked in and of itself! +1

Yeah, it's super easy. All you have to get is some transparent silicone rubber sealant. You can buy some at a local hardware store. It's really not expensive, and it's also removable which makes it a great mod. It also protects the plastic on the blade so it's great for dueling. When it clashes with another blade, it muffles the "clack" sound, which makes your saber's Obsidian sound louder. Honestly, after doing it, I don't think I will go back to using a normal blade, hahah.

All you do it suspend the blade upside-down and apply the rubber liberally all over the the blade and spread it around. Then let it dry for about a day. Easy.
