That is awesome!!!! DO WANT!!!! lol
Have a point!  ;D

OMG!! He's at it Again!!!  :o

Dude! you're either a Genius, or are just completely Mad! That's -IT-!!

You're the 'Mad scientist' of the Forum!! Huzza!!  ;D

Interesting! How comfortable is it in the hand?

Lamo I like that


Not that bad really. Although if I where doing a lot of deuling with it I would probly use gloves

I like it. Gives it a nice industrial look. Point!

Very nice!

Though in my mind's eye, I keep seeing the tubes not as brass, but as lit LED tubes or mini "neon" tubes...  Yeah.  And if I could do stuff like that I'd be selling these things instead of drooling over the work of those who CAN!

Excellent work!  If you're in a climate that requires gloves those would make the hilt far more secure.  Well done!

I didn't notice the industrial look of it till after all the bars where in place.
As for gloves I was thinking of more like biking or riding glives. Just something for a little pading as I live in florida cold weather isn't really an issue.
And just a little info on the materials the bars where made from a wire hanger then I just drilled out pilot holes and secured them in place with some epoxi( I love that stuff).
This project is far from finished there's still the shroud and acennts to add. More pics as I finish each stage.
Again thanks I'm happy y'all like my work

WooHoo! I am in Florida too! Near Ft. Lauderdale.

I'm also in Florida! Way up in the panhandle, not too far from Panama City Beach.

Point for the Floridians!

Ha sweet. I'm all the way on the other side just north of palm beach

Wait, all of us live in Florida?!

It looks that way.And there's one more of our forum buddies in wast palm.
Genkaku Sho'shyk

Maby we should have a gathering of the geeks. :D

Are any of you going to the Tampa Comic Con this year (or any others I may not know about)? It looks fun, but I'm not sure if I will be able to make it because of work.

Same here. Plus Tampa is a little bit of drive from South Florida.

Genkaku and I where talking about going we shal see though.

Back on topic here, not that I mind the side track conversation.

Ok here we go I've got a few peices done well sorta.

This is a pvc switch plate I fitted with the av latching switch.

I haven't decided what direction to place the shroud

Relan, where you get these ideas from, I haven't a clue, but they are very inspiring. Can't wait to see the finished project :)

On the side topic, I won't be going to the Tampa Comic Con... a bit far away and work :(
Also missed the PensacolaCon a few months back... David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, and Jeremy Bulloch were there. I missed Darth Vader, Chewie, and Boba Fett! I'll never forgive myself.

I have an actave imagination and I like to build stuff.

And you're also quite good at it.

Thanks bro.

You're welcome. I honestly salivate a little every time I see the thread for your Azure Wolf come up. I also have a soft spot for Sentinel blades after playing KotOR II.

Ah! That would've been awesome to go to. I had just moved here at the time so I couldn't make it either.

Relan, I like the design concepts you are incorporating here. I like the shroud with the solid part in the front.

Funny story about how I got the shroud idea. It was actually the leftover sink tube peice that I used to make the belt clip for the Azure Wolf. Because it was too small to fit around the dsi I just split the one end and there you have it. A bad @$$ looking split shroud. Repurposing scrap at its finest.

A little more done on The Infiltrator the drilling and tapping of all the holes. Then test fitting of all the parts. So far so good, although I'm gona have to trim down some of the shroud just to even it up a little .(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab316/christophermcleroy82/IMG_20140523_142009_zps2c234a77.jpg) (http://s875.photobucket.com/user/christophermcleroy82/media/IMG_20140523_142009_zps2c234a77.jpg.html)(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab316/christophermcleroy82/IMG_20140523_141955_zps5255dc55.jpg) (http://s875.photobucket.com/user/christophermcleroy82/media/IMG_20140523_141955_zps5255dc55.jpg.html)

I haven't decided on what color to paint the pvc parts yet and I'm gona try to find some brass 1/8" button head screws.

Well I finished the shroud and I think I'm sattisfided.(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab316/christophermcleroy82/IMG_20140523_154358_zps779c3b3a.jpg) (http://s875.photobucket.com/user/christophermcleroy82/media/IMG_20140523_154358_zps779c3b3a.jpg.html)
I left it kinda rough cuz I want this thing to look like its been threw hell and back
Speaking of witch I found an interesting way to do some uniuqe weathering. Using a brass wire wheel on my dremel instead of taking off the anodizing it  added the brass powder to the hilt.(http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab316/christophermcleroy82/IMG_20140523_155144_zpsad4e3b69.jpg) (http://s875.photobucket.com/user/christophermcleroy82/media/IMG_20140523_155144_zpsad4e3b69.jpg.html)
And I think I'm gona go with a bronze for my acent pvc peices.

Very cool effect! The brassiness really works with the accents you're adding.

Thanks. I'm painting the acent peices now I didn't have bronze so I went with copper. And once I add the brass button head screws they'll stand out a lot better

After 4 coats of base color and wet sanding in between each then another 4 layers aging and weathering the acent peices are ready for the clear coat. Here they are. The pics don't do justice to how they actually look.

Yes I even dry brushed the switch and bezel.

Here she is 98% complete I still need to track down some brass button head screws and order a anther pomel

Nice. Kind of Starkiller-ish.

 Thanks. Some elements where star killer inspired

Nice Relan , I think that the Archon classic pommel looks good on there:). Even if it isn't quite what your looking for in the final product:). Have a point:)

Thanks. I think I'm gona get the dark arbiter or the raven ss pomel for it. That with the brass button head screws, after that I'll call it done.
Let Me tell ya this thing is a beast and for a stunt saber its got some serous heft to it. I might a dark orange led and it'll be my sith saber.
Hek the thing just looks mean.

Raven pommel would be cool for it. I like how my plain Raven pommel looks on my DSI, but the SS version would be even better!

I have the SS version on mine and it really fits IMO. Again, great job on the saber!

Dark Arbiter:). Totally

I decided on the dark war galve pommel I'll add pics when I get it

all right:).
