51TH Commando PV's for Simpi and Johannes

51TH Commando PV in Oxidium for Simpi

Simpster wanted a CSv1 version in Oxidium weathering, so I obliged.  I think he will add his own grip material once he sees it.  It needs it IMO to break things up a bit.  Other than that, this is an awesome saber.  Great spinner and 100% duel worthy.  Oh yeah, also did some custom Oxidium weathered AV switches for Simpi and Vercify as well (Vercify's is a DIY kit, so I will let him post that when he finshes, but suffice to say it looks just lime this one, lol).

Particulars:
51TH Commando PV hilt
Oxidium, triple-baked Weathering
CSv1 with Nightstorm's JK2 Outcast
Aqua LED with Salmon FoC (9W RGB, mixed)
3.7v Li-ion
Machined Resonance and Easy Spin

51TH Commando PV in Carbon Fiber and textured Leather for Johannes Huber

Johannes wanted me to do "something cool" with one of these.  I wanted to do a "clean" version with some legit contrast.  Carbon fiber is way over-used in my opinion, but I wanted to show that it can indeed be used in a tasteful manner and actually contribute to making a saber look like it's parts all are there for a reason.  These sabers are, at theri core, meant to be used so I also thought of what I would want if I were actually using this and leather grip seems a must.  Rather than a wrap, I went with an inlay to keep things clean.  This one has a CSv2 and the blade colors are a light Aqua and a light blue (between SkyBlu and IceBlu).  I may end up modifying that prior to shipping if Johannes so desires.

Patriculars:
51TH Commando PV Carbon
CSv2 (Brawler and TOR Justice), 2 button config
9W RGB tuned blade
Ho speaker
3.7V Li-ion
Machined Resonance and Easy Spin Pommel

GASPS!!!If you combined the leather and the oxy~:dies from neural overload:

Yeah, I have a feeling that is where it will go.  The reason I didn't just do it is that Simpi is a Mang and does as he pleases.  He's kinda like the Honey Badger, so I don't mess with him. 


LOL, if he wants me to, I will be happy to add weathered leather wrap or inlay ;)

Looks fantastic! Use your own judgement on the blue as I said before (the good General is a great person to just "turn lose" on an idea). As always you deliver far more than is ever expected. Make sure all 4 of your arms are back in working condition before charging after any more Jedi ;)

LOL, okay ;)  I will send it this way (we can always change it) because I really like the color.  Like the sky on a clear Summer's day.  I almost want to call it "Crystal Blue".

It is not mixed, but if I were to mix it I would use blue (resistored) and green in //.

Thanks man!

Well, they can be quite reasonable since they are my entry-level product ;)  These have received great reviews from those who have them, but folks still seem to forget about them since I am not a big promoter/advertiser.  If ya ever want one, I have 'em ;)
