This is my first Ultra Saber, and sadly (due to not having Da Monay) my only Ultrasaber. CG PVC Malice customized. I did the customization a few years ago, and it kinda looks a little bad, but hey, I'm proud of it. There was a leather cord wrapped around it at one point, but that fell off. I'm looking to customize it better soon. It's also missing the end cap.

What the original Malice looked like:

I'm really interested to see what sabers all you guys are most proud of, so get posting! Smiley

Nice saber! Looks kind of Clone Warsy. The emitter on that model reminds me something of Yoda's saber, but blown up to full sized. You've done good with it! PVC sabers are kinda tricky to get to turn out nice, IMHO, and you've managed it. Kudos to you! (My only attempts at PVC sabers have resulted in a pile of hacked up PVC in the shed. I do not have the touch. LOL)

As for the saber I'm most proud of.... well, I'm really skirting the line here, but she's got Ultra guts in her for the most part, so that counts, right? Wink For those of you who've never met her, this is Ann:



I designed her, and my more electronically inclined Pop did the wiring. She was, to my knowledge, the world's first Heiland 2 Cell Flash Conversion. I freely admit I could be wrong about that, but I scoured the web for hours and hours looking for another one when we built her and couldn't find one, and only found I think 2 vague mentions of static Heiland 2 Cell sabers. There have since been a few others who've built these on the forum, and their threads are WELL worth digging up and looking at. BEAUTIFUL builds, and all are surprisingly unique from each other too! Smiley [/proud papa story] lol

Damn... tough choice.  My first instinct is to go with my custom MR Luke ROTJ - as some of you know, it had an Obsidian install done by Ultra a good while back, and he even threw in a few accent LEDs to boot.  I would be inclined to call this the saber I'm proudest of.





However, I have another very close runner up.  My current favorite saber to duel with, and one of my most unique, this is a Dark Prophecy V3 that's thematically linked to Jacen Solo.  To provide a beautiful Emerald Green blade, I sent Deep a Luxeon V LED for the install (a Bin 3 Cyan).  Combine that with a green AV switch, and you have one killer saber... the weapon of Jacen Solo as he began to slip into Grey territory, and fittingly enough my main combat choice (though I'm not nearly as Grey as I like to think).

lol Mini-MAV in the second picture!

But yeah, I think at least half of the forum is still smarting from you getting that custom Luke. Poor Ultra, he must have gotten SOOOOO many messages asking for him to do that for people. lol

Haha it's true, I don't know who I feel worse for... the folks who envied the hilt, or poor Ultra trying to sift through a million requests for similar work.  From what he told me, it was a major pain to get the Obsidian in there, and in addition I can't really access the board, so that's probably why he doesn't do them anymore.

Thanks! And as for ann? Well, she is one of the prettiest sabers I've seen.

My favourite is probably my (slightly) modified dark shock.

It's a cheesy answer which will probably get me a 'gee, EeRocKK, thanks for putting in the effort', but I am proud of this:



It's my whole collection along with my son's Prophecy. There hasn't been a day that's gone by where I failed to swing at least one of these puppies around. I'm a computer geek, and it's safe to say that my rig has not received as much love as these sabers.

Thanks johnpicollo! That's high praise to hear somebody say that, I think she's blushing! Wink
