Title: Small collection (5 of 8) Post by: Vrakul on March 11, 2012, 10:33:19 AM Here's a couple of interesting pics of some of my collection. This is a Dark War Glaive, Dark Liberator, Dark Standard Issue, Initiate v2 LE, Master Replicas Darth Maul (unconverted). Just messing around with camers settings yielded some interesting results:

I've have a couple more builds in the shopping cart....just waiting to pull the trigger 8)

Title: Re: Small collection (5 of 8) Post by: Vrakul on March 11, 2012, 07:35:28 PM The Dark War Glaive got a custom paint job - I posted some about it here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4928.0. (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4928.0.) It's a work in progress at this point ::)
My wife was in a giant store that starts with W and ends with al-Mart the other day and noticed a nifty little rack for hanging brooms/mops/shovels/etc., so she picked it up for my sabers. I couldn't find a brand name on it, but it's called Stay Organized. It's got five slots, each with wheel a wheel with a little rubber cover and stopper on either side. It grips the blades PERFECTLY, and to take them out you just lift the tiniest little bit, the wheel moves up and away from the blade and the saber is free. I shot a bit of paint on it before I hung it. I'm think I will need to go back there and pick up another one or two of these, this thing rocks as a saber rack. I tried scanning the barcode from my smartphone but all I came up with was a hit from the UPC registry, "mop and broom organizer."
