Nice work on the Hilt AG : Although you should have installed the CFV6

It would have made this build much more simple lol

Ha, it would have, but the v6 is mine.

Plus in my opinion this saber only needs the two colours it has

technically speaking, I could have used the CFs color changing ability via multiple power xtenders, but 3 power xtenders was just a bit too much to fit in the saber (maybe they could have fit on the battery pack, but then there's the extra wires, the reduction in brightness because it's being "direct driven", etc.). Plus, this way he can have whichever color he wants with whichever font he wants. With the v6 and the older color changing (assuming no rice on the v6 since there wasn't room for it anyway) it would be pre-defined per font.

Wow, been waiting to see this one...and what a reveal thread it was! JM, you know how much I love this saber, due to our previous convos plus that was when it was empty!! it looks incredible now, congrats on the finished product of this magnificent saber.

Alex, your work is getting more and more amazing. I think this is my favourite build of yours to date I have huge love for this Darth Revan saber, and you have transformed it into a wonderful display piece and weapon. The story of the fonts that go with this saber is really cool too. It's perfect that it has KOTOR fonts, and the others you have chosen are awesome. Huge love for Calibrate over here!

I'm surprised no one has commented on the quick disconnect colour changing options yet. This is a great feature, and works especially well in this saber. I myself would be torn between the two colours you chose, so it's cool to be able to swap them out at will. The white FoC looks awesome on both LEDs, and man that sky blue looks sweet. Extremely bright!

JM, once again congrats on your new saber and Alex...can't wait to see what you have for us next

Yeah, when I post my thread, I'll talk a little about the colors I picked. There's also a reason behind each of the fonts, which I'll be sure to write about in my writeup. This one also has two KotOR fonts, which I couldn't be happier about, and some really neat fonts to go alongside those.

Thanks for the continuing interest, Dave. This one's going to be a lot of fun.

That was all JM. I might have recommended korriban, but either way he chose all 6. He had a pretty specific idea of what he wanted. James, was it you or me that suggested the color change? I can't remember.

I look forward to your write-up James. Great job Alex.

I always wanted it - that's the main reason I wanted to upgrade from my Machined_Fx Revan - but I don't recall who actually suggested it. It was probably me, but I think you were on board right away.

Alex Gordon · « **Reply #24 on:** June 25, 2012, 04:21:10 PM »

yeah, it's not like it matters, I just couldn't remember.

jetsaber · « **Reply #25 on:** June 25, 2012, 04:26:25 PM »

Actually it's Perfect for this Hilt

Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. No worries.

It is perfect, isn't it? I always played as a Guardian, and since Revan was, canonically, a Guardian, (I think) what a great fit.

Headed to ship this out after class. You should have it this week.
