For the record - This is a Dark Catalyst with Tri-Cree Adegan Silver, filtered to Sentinel Yellow using a double filter of Lee Yellow (765). The saber is equipped with an Obsidian Lite card, blue AV switch (black) and has a Scorpion pommel.
Illyiss, I actually like the pommel a lot. It adds just enough extra weight to counter-balance the blade perfectly when using 32" heavy-grade blades. This picture was taken with a mid-grade blade btw.
Honestly, it always annoyed me that LSG wrote Kimar's blade as yellow. *sigh*
If it's any consolation Karm, whenever I think/see/read about yellow blades I automatically associate them with you Red probably is more my color Sam your dedication and just obvious love of SW and FUN is laudable ...And it wouldn't be a Force Friday without a quality LR pic!

Yeah. IMO the best SY is either filtered or full R+G on Emerald.

Yeah, at the base where the LEDs are at the highest intensity, you're going to get hints of red and green, but they mix well along the blade.

Very true. One interesting thing I noticed about that: If you hold the blade out in front of you and look at it from the side, you can see a green line on the top of the blade and a red line on the bottom of the blade. If you flip the blade over, the colors stay where they are. Its a side-effect of the red-shift / blue-shift phenomenon caused by the prismatic effect of the blade itself. Sorry. Science fascinates me....

Very nice! And yeah, it was just too good a joke to resist the reference, as though it found someone who was worthy.

Yellow LED's can be inconsistent as the Red/Green mixture is hard to master, which is why it's not offered as a standard colour. Filtered with an AS LED is generally superior ... there are some really good examples here - http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=38175.msg623011#msg623011I've found the yellow filters to be the cleanest, most vibrant and brightest there is - just awesome.

Had a little fun with some brief photoshop editing. Kind of a test of the waters if you will. My character is the apprentice of Master Plo Koon so... yeah I love this one.
