SABERWORKS Presents THE MAKASHI RENEGADE Run/Kickstarter Project
« on: September 11, 2012, 07:00:46 PM »

THE MAKASHI RENEGADE

This will be the official FX order thread and update thread for Kickstarter but first I want to thank all of you who have shown interest in this project and hung in there while the detials got ironed out... I would also like to thank Koza of The Rusty Raven for all of the excellent professional work he has done to bring this project to life... We would not be here now without his help...

Link to Kickstarter campaign...
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1531514770/makashi-renegade-custom-led-lightsaber

So this is a what if saber... What if we had seen Count Dooku in The Phantom Menace when he was still a Jedi?... What would that saber have looked like?... Assuming his Sith saber is crooked as a reflection of his turn to the dark side... Assuming you would see the influence of this saber in others that came after...

The Package will include...
One complete Makashi Renegade with black anodized grip and permanent mirror finish not polished aluminum as that would dull over time... The Saber will have a media blast accent on the step downs behind the chamber/overlay and the ring in the middle will be polished brass... the emitter will hold a 1 inch blade and will not have the brass accents as shown in one of the render photos... The covertec knob will be polished brass as well as the buttonhead accents in the pommel...

It will be running the Plecter Labs Crystal Focus 6.10 with FoC and CeX and will feature a custom 7 color SMD LED bargraph built by Sollus Vir in place of the crystal seen in the prototype... It will also have the new 3watt 4ohm speaker used by Vader's Vault... For size comparison look to the static MR Anakin from AToC... This saber will be comparable to that in size and finish...

Avlabile in 4 color options ...
Option A - Cree GGW
Option B - Cree BBW
Option C - Cree RRW
Option D -Cree RBW
Option E- Cree RGB for CeX

also included will be a
Custom Emitter Plug
Custom Saber Stand
Custom name plaque


Price will be $1200.00

Deposit will be 50% down which is $600.00 Pending the out come of the Kiskstarter project...

After you've been confirmed if for any reason you can not complete the run you will have to sell your slot to get out... Right now there are 27 slots available but I will add more if there is a demand... All 27 slots have to be filled for the run to move forward...


Paypal payment to thesaberworks@gmail.com

Please pay as payment owed under the personal tab or add 2.9% for paypal fees...
 
Please include your option choice, real name, forum name and mailling address in the paypal notes...
Also post your option choice and payment sent in this thread and you will be added to the list...


This thread will run with an open end date until the list is full... At that point the list will be closed and we will move forward with placing the order...

Quick question...

say we send desposits... and we don't make the minimum number of people for the run to go forward...

Sounds like a dumb question... but I assume we get $ back? Or does run commence anyway?

Hasbro Darth Vader Removable Blade
OR Qui Gon CFLS w/Makoto Green
MR Luke V2 LE
MR Qui Gon LE
EFX Ahsoka
Real Parts Obi Wan ANH (90%)

If we are close by a couple I will cover the cost and the run will move forward... if it's short by alot the run will be put on hold and deposits will be refunded to those who don't want to wait and we will try again at the next window available from the machinist... probably around March or April...

First post updated... Thanks Aginor need to know your option choice...

 Ki-Adi, assuming all's a go after Nov.5, what is the expected completion date. I realize there are always unforseen delays, but any rough eta? Also, besides the artist's renders, is there an actual working prototype we can see on video?

Thank you.

Thanks Jango... Also here is a video I did just after I finished the prototype... It's running a CF4.2 and a Lux V bin 1 cyan...



For a time line if all go as planned I hope to start shipping sabers in March...

*LOUDER* !

what did you say ?

note : 3W is great. Still, remember that wattage is a rating, no the power that will go in it as it depend of the supplying device aka the audio amp.

Basically it's about size of the speaker in this situation I needed something smaller then the standard 2w bass speaker we normally use now days... Not about louder... I don't have one of the speakers yet but from what I remember from Celebration they are similar in look to the 2w at TCSS...

3 watt speaker in this saber is awesome and i reckon almost impossible to damage with all current sound boards, i use 3 watt speakers on my bench and even a hasbro economy board sounds ok supplying 0.25 watts so imagine what a CF 6 will do .?

I would love to get in on one of these, but timing on funding couldn't be worse. No likelyhood in sight of anything like this for me.  :'(
