Title: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Therion Jinn on June 10, 2017, 02:54:29 AM Okay,
Picked up a Dark Catalyst after being inspired by one of my Old Republic characters. Review and initial pics are here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=35164.0 Decided tonight to go in and customize it a little to make it better fit the character in question. She's a Jedi Sentinel who I've sometimes nicknamed 'Saint T'Kasha' because of her tendency to make light-side decisions. The saber, I call 'T'Kasha's Hope.' To make it more 'hers,' I swapped out the black covertec wheel for a silver one I had on hand. Then I used my Dremel to engrave the word 'Hope' in the Aurabesh font just above the activation switch (http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq45/quaralane/Star_Wars/Ultrasabers%20Dark%20Catalyst-Apprentice%20V4/20170609_200456.jpeg) (http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq45/quaralane/Star_Wars/Ultrasabers%20Dark%20Catalyst-Apprentice%20V4/20170609_200519.jpg) Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: MavRick on June 13, 2017, 09:59:55 PM Hmm, nice mod! ;)

Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Therion Jinn on July 15, 2017, 01:54:36 AM Decided to do a little more personalizing on this hilt.
To my eyes, the back end of this needed, well, something. To that end, I played around a bit on the other guys site with their MHS Builder and came up with a solution. I added a short extension between the stock hilt and pommel. It was powder-coated, but came out close enough in color (http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq45/quaralane/Mobile%20Uploads/20170714_193324.jpeg) (http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq45/quaralane/Mobile%20Uploads/20170714_193316.jpeg) Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Taegin Roan on July 15, 2017, 02:04:42 AM This saber looks really cool. Great job.
Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Therion Jinn on July 15, 2017, 02:08:30 AM Thank you. It was an idea that struck me while looking at some of my other hilts a few days ago
Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Hansrad on July 15, 2017, 02:50:37 AM That is a nice addition. Is it the mhs gear extension? If so how comfortable is it?
Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: digitalsithlord on July 15, 2017, 03:38:26 AM Simple, yet very effective....have to remember that! Very creative!
Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Therion Jinn on July 15, 2017, 05:04:20 PM Thanks, guys
That is a nice addition. Is it the mhs gear extension? If so how comfortable is it? That's exactly the piece.Doesn't effect my grip because I use it single handed, so I'm still on the main grips Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Hansrad on July 15, 2017, 08:53:45 PM Thanks, guysThat's exactly the piece.

Thanks Title: Re: Dark Catalyst-personalized Post by: Therion Jinn on July 16, 2017, 02:28:45 AM I played with it using the MHS Builder to check it first. Wasn't taking chances
