"Godfather" an MHS custom by TyFighter
« on: March 10, 2013, 05:56:53 PM »
GODFATHER
[/font]
PC 2.0
Tri-Rebel RRW w/Reds in Series and White foc
2w high bass speaker
7.4V Li-Ion battery pack
MadCow's "Korriban" soundfont purchased at Saberfont.com
100% MHS based parts


This is a very personal saber for me. This marks my first MHS custom piece, and my first foray into Plecterlab products with custom soundfonts. Considering that I have only worked with MR soundboards, this was a huge jump for me. I am quite pleased to share the results. The parts are simply  painted and sanded for a weathered look. The shroud is cut with a dremel, hacksaw, and files (e57 style) and inspired by the works of Vader's Vault, but I did something a bit more simple to suit my skill level. This also marks my first chassis. I went with black PVC to keep my costs low, with mixed results. I probably won't use it again in the future, as it warps easily and flakes considerably. Anyway, on with the show.








A very special thanks to everyone who advised me during the build and to everyone in this community. I couldn't have done it without you.
