Hmmm....if you do a 10W LEDengin RGBW with the CFV6 you can connect the RBW for mixing and have both a Chris Trevas force-sensitive style red blade on some banks and Ralph McQuarrie silver/BW concept ST blade on others. Not to mention OSPP??  Dude the ultimate ST is coming!

Dave are you handling any of the install work yourself?  Or is this going to involve guild members?

Congrats again Dave, I'm happy you were able to track down another one of these.  Everytime I see pics of these now, I regret not getting one when the run occurred.  I love the black shadow stormtrooper one too.  Awesome pics, looking forward to the other phases.  8)

Well as I don't know the difference between a soldering iron and an ironing board, I think I had better leave it to the pros :D

Thanks Obi-Wan :) the Shadowtrooper one really is cool, isn't it.

Hey, maybe you can track one down yourself if you happen to see a FedEx worker playing with one somewhere  ::) :P

Thanks for the kind words.  These were a bigger pain than they look to powder coat but in the end they turned out pretty good.  I had to strip and redo a few of them (one like 4 times...it was cursed) but I wouldn't accept any small imperfection if I found one.

They are nice sabers indeed and I really like mine as well.

Hello again guys :) First off, I owe my apologies to Sanjuro as I have had phase two ready at my house to be posted up here but I just haven't had the time lately to do it. However, here I am with........

Phase Two!

Also a big thank you here to Sanjuro for allowing me to be the one that reveals this surprise for my Stormtrooper project. I'm very excited to do so, and to show off yet another of Sanjuro's masterpieces! I couldn't be happier with the product I received, as is always the case with Sanjuro :) I'm proud to have this on display with my Stormtrooper saber, and as a part of my "bigger picture" whole Stormtrooper project ;) So enough talky, here's some pics of my custom Sanjuro Stormtrooper stand! This one is a bit hard to capture on camera with it's details unfortunately...the base actually has a lot of facial detail for the helmet of the Stormtrooper, but it's a bit hard to make out in any picture I tried taking  :-\ I still think the pics turned out quite nicely though:




Once again, thanks to Sanjuro for keeping this one a surprise so I could reveal it right here in my project log :)

Comments are most welcome as always guys, and get ready....Phase Three is coming, and oh boy it's a special one ;)

The Stormtrooper saber looks great  ;)
And the stand is really interesting.

Haha... Well, it's a fool's errand, boy. The Emperor's army is infinite. You'll eventually be killed... or worse... and nothing will have changed.

Here's a little more backstory...

I contacted Sanjuro with my vision in mind of what I wanted from this stand, which is exactly how it looks now. I wanted this stand to be simple, relatively small and with this exact theme. I was after a small sized stand as the end result of this project is going to leave me with limited shelf space :D so I wanted there to be enough room for the saber on a nice stand on display. Mission accomplished.

Mmmmmm
ST hilt.

Hey 3PO - now you're a Shiny Protocol Droid and no longer a Clone, how about you send me this bad boy hilt  ;) :D

Remember - Droids are for flying - not aggressive negotiations  ;D
I'll treat it real good, honest!!
it's all Elemental

Hey Pete, I never get a turn with the sabers...it's my time to shine :D besides, Master Luke just got himself yet another Graflex, so I don't wanna feel left out.
