Title: some physical mods Post by: Darth Eyece on November 11, 2011, 01:39:26 AM Some quick bits on things i'm doin' to my Phantom v2 (almost completely LE)..
(http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/3y3EcE/Star%20Wars/100_0380.jpg) overall in dim room (http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/3y3EcE/Star%20Wars/Illuminated%20Sabers/100_0377.jpg) I really like the slotted windows from models such as the War Glaive, but I cant seem to find a claw I like yet... (http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/3y3EcE/Star%20Wars/Illuminated%20Sabers/100_0378.jpg) same pic w/out flash (http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/3y3EcE/Star%20Wars/Illuminated%20Sabers/100_0379.jpg) Cool little emitter design, came to mind thinking of the Aurebesh lettering... All hail Dark Violet Amethyst! My saberstaff, "DeViAtion:" (http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx246/3y3EcE/Star%20Wars/Illuminated%20Sabers/ready_to_play.jpg) Title: Re: some physical mods Post by: Qui-Tom Helms on November 11, 2011, 01:57:34 AM Nice mods! I imagine you will have to design your own claws if you can't find any.
Title: Re: some physical mods Post by: Manroon on November 11, 2011, 02:01:53 AM I like it! And I was never a fan of that staff model. lol You're right, it really does seem to beg for claws of some kind. I'd second Tom, you might want to just design some yourself. I normally favor the look of the Revan Claws, but I don't think they match this, and the War Glaive wouldn't be right at all with these lines. Maybe something with a reverse hook? (the claw sweeping out away from the blade instead of in towards it) That would be unique, and if done on sharp angles would match your emitter well I think.
Either way, cool mods so far! Thanks for sharing! :) Title: Re: some physical mods Post by: Darth Eyece on November 11, 2011, 07:48:44 AM thanks guys! yeah, i've been looking at everything metal with a slant to my eye as I ponder it's alternative function as a claw... Just 2 or 3 claws per saber would be cool, then I'm doing this gnarly grip area out of black leather and some conchos... It'll be a work in progress for a little while.
I just bought a whole bunch of wire, and i'm re-wiring everything so it's clean in the hilts, that way when I need to work on it, it'll be a breeze to pull it all out and do just that... I'm off to play with my iron... thanks again everyone! |
