Title: Consular (Nickel Shroud) in Consular Green with Green AV Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on April 02, 2013, 06:54:19 AM Here is my Consular (Nickel Shroud)
In Consular Green Green AV I wanted this to look similar to Qui-Gon's saber. I know his has a red button, but I thought green would better match the hilt and the blade. I also did get Quick Disconnect on it just in case, as I always do. If any one is thinking of a consular. Nickel Plating just makes it 10x better. It actually protects from scratching better than plain aluminum and even over adonization. It looks much deeper in the metal, its not that bad on finger prints as some people say, I can hardly tell. Also dont worry about matching the pommel if you change, it's still close enough, plus the emitter is still silver.

Title: Re: Consular (Nickel Shroud) in Consular Green with Green AV Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on April 02, 2013, 07:11:04 AM Ill be getting Graflex CE now instead of SE just for the nickel
Not on my overlord though as I am swapping out the pommel onto other sabers. If I ever get a monarch. I wish they had a Nickel Plated Shock though I would buy that in a heart beat! Same with the Prophesy and the Aeon. Title: Re: Consular (Nickel Shroud) in Consular Green with Green AV Post by: Zren Tobas on April 02, 2013, 07:33:23 AM Don't get started on a nickel plated Shock. Lol. I'll want one also then. xp

They look so awesome. Got my mother a Graflex SE (which she loves) and to me it just looks kinda plain and almost fugly because i'm so used to seeing the CE.
I dream of US offering a plated Manticore emitter. And plated Reaper claws and shroud. And lots of other things with the plating...

US can't give us enough nickel options. Bring 'em on! :)

Title: Re: Consular (Nickel Shroud) in Consular Green with Green AV Post by: Sky Dragon c5 on May 02, 2013, 12:36:34 AM I am really wanting a Nickel Plated Shock LE. I wonder if the Nickel would cover up the gold, or just show it slightly.
