A V1 for Sekrogue1985 and a V2 for Oisse
« on: March 13, 2011, 09:22:59 PM »
Parks Arc Wave (an OLD one!)

This is an old Arc Wave.  It has painted gold and is epoxied together with a TON of epoxy.  Sekrogue wanted a "basic" conversion so I made it so.  I touched up the gold with 3 coats of gold leaf.  The Graflex clamp has a hole where the old EL switch was as well and it is generally scratched up but that just makes for a nice naturally weathered piece.

Particulars:

EL Arc Wave
MR Jedi board
3.7V Li-ion w/2.1mm recharge/kill in pommel
10mm Lux Rebel w/polymer optics
3/4" OM optics/heatsink module
slider switch on side of box
32" x 3/4" Heavy dueling blade
Reverse sound w/custom Delrin mount

The BMT:

JSS V2 for Oisse

This is the custom V2 that Jon did as an homage to Eastern's modded MHS V2.  He sold it empty to Oisse and sent it to me for electroncizing.  It is a beautifully done hilt, but I can see how he lost momentum on it because internal space is VERY tight.  All of the electronics live in a 3.2" section under the g-flex clamp.  It has a PC-L and supports a 7/8" blade.  It came with a bubble card so I replaced that with a green card and added a pommel insert.  Other than that I left it as-is externally (no cone knob).  Oisse wanted touch plate activation, but I couldn't make it happen since this saber has wires literally stored inside the box of the g-flex clamp!  I did mention space is tight right ;)

Particulars:

JudgeSabersmith V2
PC-L (Lightmeat)
Luxeon Rebel Green
OM Optics module w/copper heatsink
tactile switches in the box (aux under lever)
3.7V 2600 mAh Li-ion w/recharge/kill in pommel
Reverse sound w/custom PVC speaker mount
Red & Green HO blinkies under card

The BMT:



The Glams:





Selected Build:

Oh, it's not a question of if for me, it's a question of when. And it will be one of the General's when I do.

Both are really good looking! The red LED on the box of the V2 is super cool. 8)

Thanks fellas.  Sorry on the touch plate thing Oissie, but it really was impossible on this particular build (at least if we wanted to stay in budget ;))  But the red on/off switch is very low profile and this saber has APOP so no accidental deactivations!
