Title: Flower Saber
Post by: eastern57 on November 30, 2008, 01:51:57 PM

New saber - it looks kind of flowery, thus the name...

Specs:

- Lux III bin6 cyan (green)
- All accent LEDs (9) are 4.8mm, 120 degrees - very bright!
  -- 6 green for bar graph (4 programable, 2 PPO)
  -- 3 red PPOs

The main switch is a slider on the side and the aus is the white push-button over the bar graph.

Custom blade holder by Madcow.

Dude that font is INSANE~~~ ;D A+.  Nice dremel fu.  I remember when you first showcased the "flower" look.  I was a bit ehh about the possibilities.  Awesome execution Eastern 8).  Once again that font kicks arse.

It is indeed the Crystal Focus Saber Core - by Plecterlabs.  10 points, Vex! ;)

That's one of Novastar's gems, not mine. ;)

Gorgeous saber Eastern!  Love the floral pattern, the emitter, and the LEDs!!!

Post by: eastern57 on December 13, 2008, 06:14:23 PM

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

I went back to the custom choke.  It's just much more appropriate.  The short choke was on there for easier dueling... but really, there's not going to be any dueling with this... it's too pretty ;)  This is a Christmas present, so I'm not going to change it anymore - I swear... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I cleaned up the overall hilt, blackened the screws around the main power switch, put in a blade retention screw, and updated the sound banks.

I went with an Asian theme:
- Novastar
- EP 2
- Blackstar
- Steel sword
- Kung-Fu
- Satori Zen
