Title: raven in SRD
Post by: ashtor on March 01, 2012, 03:06:31 AM
first off i need to say  that all the other post are exactly correct pictures do not do these sabers and colors justice.

pic of the raven ss edition  ;D

most people  automatically call this a sith saber when they see the hilt . but in my mind and with others as well my thinking is the most effective weapon is one you never have to use. with its menacing looks alone most  beings would think  twice  before making you activate it .

SRD is meant for this hilt  :o

i love how the ridges on the hilt feel with its weight if it were smooth  i think it would slip out of my hand  when doing overhead slashes

out of the box i was very impressed with the craftsmanship and it was packed very well. i was thinking when i bout it that i would send it back to have sound added  at a later date but i like it with out sound. with looks this menacing a silent  arrival of the blade to me is more  unsettling.

im already thinking about a minor modification im thinking about adding a couple leather strips around the 2nd and 5th rings on the hilt  in a teal color .

First Raven in SRD I've ever seen.

Point.

Enjoy your new saber.

Nice. Never seen a Raven in SRD especially in the SS edition. Heres another customization idea, you could paint the sides of the claws black and kinda weather the front of the claws, that'd look sick.

Well well well...  Who's this intruding on my SS Raven dominance?

Welcome to the club brother!  I also love my SS Raven as a Jedi saber, although I got mine in RGB so I could be Sithy as well.  Personally, I think it looks best in Consular Green, but the SRD isn't all that bad either.

Just wondering, did you get it with Obsidian or no?

What a massive beast of a saber! Even in Jedi color, it's menacing! Had my wife not called the Raven claws as trash picker/compactor, I would have ordered it. :)

I hear ya.  My first 5 sabers were stunts as well.  You'll have to post a detailed review when you get the Dark Catalyst, so I can be insanely jealous of you.  That's always been one of my favorite hilt designs.

It looks fantastic.  Very unique!

Perhaps SRD will be my next MLS unit...

That does look good in SRD. Still not a Jedi saber though, IMO.
