Saint's Schizophrenic Sabers

OK. We're no longer worthy.

I'm very excited for Scifi on the rock to get a live view of this set. I really want a guardian and I think seeing one in preson will put me over the edge to get one.

Hey, any chance you could screw the windowed reaper emitter end into the 'knuckle' of a malice?  The rest of the hilt can be whatever.

Much appreciated!

I wouldn't mind one of those emitters for my Overlord. Great set ups, Saint! 

[James Casey]

When I grow up, I want to be Saint...

...or, at the very least, to have as many cool toys.

Awesome pics, amazing collection. Even that box of spares and filters makes me drool.

I really like this one. It Force screams Sith! B-E-A-utitful saber Saint, more points for your endless sea of pure unadulterated creativity!

Hi all.  Still playing around.  These are my latest favourite concoctions and saber-alchemy (SA)...


SA:  Reaper body + Arbiter neck + Malice pommel + TCCS choke (style 1, short) + Manticore emmitter + TCCS trim ring 2 (x2) + Kent's 1.25" chrome ring (x2) + TCCS black o-ring (x4)




SA:  Dark Initiate LE + Bellicose short groove pommel + Reaper emitter + TCCS trim ring 2 (x2)




SA:  Malice body + Dark Shock pommel + Coupler with vents (black & silver) + TCCS 1.2" double female adapter + Malice emitter (small blades)

Note:  Hmmm, I think I meant to put a black trim ring between the emitter and adapter...




SA:  Archon v2 body + flush black coupler with vents + TCCS 1.2" double female adapter + TCCS blade holder (style 13) + TCCS Covertec button thumbscrew (crimson) + TCCS trim ring 1 (crimson x4) + TCCS style 4 pommel (insert style 6...not shown)

Note:  The Covertech thumbscrew leaves too much of its threading exposed when used alone.  However, it replaces the original wheel's socket screw nicely, keeping the original wheel in place.  It sticks out a bit more than I like, but sacrifices must be made...for CRIMSON!  This is my favourite creation to date and looks smokin' in Adegan Silver!

PS  Sorry Deep and Ultra for so many other parts, especially on this one.  I'd happily pay a mark-up if you sold TCCS parts as well.  It'd save me shipping!  




SA:  Guardian body/emitter + Consular pommel + Kent's 1.25" brass ring

Note:   I'd tried the Consular pommel before, but the brass ring really completes this modest customization; coordinating with the small jewelled brass knob near the emitter (extra pic below).  Interestingly, the girth of the Guardian body and Consular pommel allow the 1.25" brass ring to be used without o-ring support...  





SA:  Consular body (nickel shroud) + Overlord emitter (nickel) + Overlord pommel (nickel) + Dark Arbiter neck + Kent's 1.25" brass ring (x2) + TCCS black o-ring (x12)

Note:  I wanted an all-black grenade grip so I just added back o-rings to all the silver grooves of the Dark Arbiter neck (see additional pix below).  I was both surprised and pleased with how it flowed with the Consular's black body grooves.  The o-rings provide awesome grip for a high one-hander, or second hand.  This is my second favorite creation.  It's just a flick to change it from its new bastard-sword configuration back to my elegant nickel ConsuLord.

Pour vous...

Ah, thanks!  Glad I got to see this - the Reaper emitter looks a little longer than I anticipated when it's out of its...  adapter-sheathe-whatever you'd call that piece.  Turtleneck.

Hey Saber Jockeys.  Here's my last kick at the cats for a while.  Final (for now) shipment of tidbits arrived yesterday...

[Valx Vanzan]

So many sabers and you only have the two hands.  The fight will be over before you decide which saber combo to bring. LoL you are the envy of so many of us. I think some Jedi have even fallen to the dark side.

[Saint]

Thanks VV.  For most designs, it's the adapter pieces that allow the US emitters, necks, and pommels to be mixed and matched in so many ways.  As an example, I think it took three different adapters in series to get the Reaper shroud onto the emitter end of the Archon body, which is too thick for the shroud  The trim rings are the icing on the cake.

As with my sabers, I went overboard with rings and adapters.      A cost effective (~$100) kit would be: female/female x 2, female/male x 2, male/male x1, and 4 trim rings of one's preferred design/colour.  With one MHS emitter/pommel Ultra Saber and a couple Ultra Saber emitters, necks, couplers and pommels (and the above kit), someone could easily have over a dozen relatively unique designs.   

Thanks for looking!

My favorite so far.  The window below the choke point looks amazing!  I bet you need a 40" blade for it though!

[Darth Megaton]

This is just incredible saber-porn.

[swords4two]

how did you get the dark initiate threaded for MHS? And OMG saber porn! Even my girlfriend was drooling!
