Darth Nihl and Darth Talon Saber
« on: January 22, 2011, 07:09:30 PM »
This to my knowledge is the first ever Darth Nihl saber. It was sculpted by hand using a two part plumbing epoxy propoxy20. Not only is it Nihl's saber, but it has a Darth Talon end cap, if you would rather have either of Darth Krayt's Hands (Darth Nihl/Darth Talon). Sounds vents are on the underside of the hilt, opposite the AV switch and and inch down. The hilt took about a week to sculpt, and a few days in the shop to paint and complete the electronics. I started this just before the new year, and it is finally done.  ;D I hope you enjoy.

Specs:
1" Copper pipe base
3/4" End cap Led assembly
5W Red Ledengine
FX Yoda Board
Short AV red
Pololu board
3W rectangle speaker
Recharge port in pommel (inside)
3.7V 18650 Li-ion
Nearly everything inside is able to be removed, and replaced. (gold bullet plugs)
11.5" Darth Talon Saber, 35" Darth Nihl Saber all together.
INTERCHANGEABLE END CAPS FOR EITHER NIHL, OR DARTH TALON

Sorry for the video quality. My camera does not like doing videos. It will look a bit fuzzy, and the red will look yellow/orange in the video.

This will be in the trade federation soon.  ;)

Excellent job. I especially like the Darth Talon end cap. It just looks really awesome to me.

I saw the build progress of this saber, very impressive.  The sculpting and paint finish are top notch, the internals are very tidy.  Very well done  :)

Thanks for the comments.  ;D Sculpting took a long time for this one. It is also comfy to hold, becuase the ridges act like grips (at least for me they do).
