Here is a saber I think no one else has seen from an Ultrasaber model  I name it "Eagle." And I love the way I customized my plain silver Apprentice V4. I believe it stands out from other sabers and the design is unique. Specs: Apprentice V4 base model, silver. Obsidian LITE sound. 32 inch UltraEdge Midgrade blade. 4 AAA power setup. Tri-Cree LED, Adegan Silver. LEE Filters for color changing. Glued V-ring on bottom of hilt functioning as red ribbon tassel attachment, as well as belt loop clipping feature. Self-crafted red ribbon tassel attached to bottom of pommel. Blue electrical tape for design.       |

I'm in the middle of doing some work on a Apprentice myself right now. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I can post pictures.
You made a very cool look there. How did you glue the ring to the pommel?
Just FYI TCSS has many different style pommels that you can add a D-Ring insert to, no way it did come apart. I have a couple added to my pommel collection.

I used double sided foam pad as a cushion because the ring is actually a picture hangar ring. It has a straight base and isn't shaped round, so the foam pad had to come to use. Then I used E6000 glue underneath the ring and all around it, and on top of it. $2 job compared to $10+ product. I held the ring and let the hilt dangle upside down many times. Hasn't fallen off yet. |

Nice saber! How did you create the blue? Is it an application, or a paint/coating?
Well done however you did it! :-) that's a nice looking saber hilt!

Thank you! All I used is #35 blue electrical tape from Home Depot. Can be found in any hardware store. I was going to apply tape down the hilt coming at an angle, but I decided it wouldn't look consistent with the hilt's design. |

Blue, red, green, yellow, purple, brown, black, white. Choose your electrical tape color 😎 Try using 2 or 3 colors on one hilt for 2 or 3-tone design. 😂 |

Thank you, Wolf! These are what inspired the design. The pommel's red ribbon tassel  The hilt's tape color.   |

Hey so how did you go about cutting the electrical tape for the small groves at the top by the emmiter? Did u apply it first then cut? Or just pull some of the roll and cut it before applying to the saber?

I cut the tape to the desired width, but my cuts weren't straight, so the tape was uneven. But I didn't mind. |
