I am Mr. Yellow.

As some of you may know I recently burnout the LED in my Fire Orange Liberator.

After some deciding I chose to retire it to the mantle.

So one more time here he his,

"Praxis"


He will be missed but not forgotten, for a new saber has risen up to take on the mantle of "Praxis".


A lot of thought went into how I could wrap the Bellicose like the Liberator since they're quite different.

You may also notice I chose to put the Bane pommel on my Bellicose.

May I present the,

"Praxis v2"


Here is a bonus pictures so you guys can see how the leather drapes over my hand. No it doesn't get in the way.

Cool customization.  Good to see you have a replacement finally, though I hope you're keeping the original hilt (maybe you could put new electronics in one day?)

Is that the Pyrestone MLS unit you have in the Bellicose?

Thank you.

I am keeping it, I will get a stand for it so it can sit above me on my desk.

One day hopefully I could get it repaired. If I didn't spend all my money on new sabers I probably could have sent it in.

And,

Yes that is the Pyrestone Orange. I was going to take a picture up close but it just looks red on camera.

Maybe I do a BR and PO comparison thread. Grin Grin

YES! Grin

Get like 4 yards of it.

That should be enough to wrap, maybe two sabers depending on how you choose to do it.

In the spots where I glues it I took the very tip of and exacto and scored the spot the applied the glue. Then hold it.

I like to use E6000 and good Nail Glue.

It's usually with a wall of different laces, and ropes and such.

They do carry thinner brown strap,

As well as different kinds of rope and laces.

The rope on my initiates was white, then I tea stained it and coffee stained for a few hours and hung up to dry.

i have an idea for my bellicose wrap, but i would need a wrap that is 1 inch wide and thin.  i would wrap it on the lower part and have the straps hanging off like yours.

You should be able to find something there. Grin

If not at Jo-Ann's than try Michael or another craft store in your area.

You could also try just buy a sheet of thin leather and cut it into the strips you want.

Or you wrap the bottom part like this,

This is A'Shraad Hett's saber.

This is pretty much the reason I'm obsessed with wrap my hilts. lol Grin

He's a pretty badass dude.
