So help me decide...



Single saber display, or



All three?

I am leaning towards the single, as it's more elegant, and will look cleaner once I cut that extending piece off the middle.

Yep, Single is better!  ;D

One question: that Luke ROTJ saber I can see in the pic is a "work in progress"? I so, it's already a beauty!

I really like the three together but if you have the room, I'd make 3 seperate displays for each saber.
And do the same your your great Obi ANH.
 Your website is cool too mate.

Two weeks ago, I sent off designs for the most accurate HP44 bus board replica I could make, and got them back from China today!



These have the slightly offset thin trace, coming from a rounded transition section, as well as the diagonal traces on the back, leading to round traces.  I based by design on this shot from Parts of Starwars, the HP-44 Bus card.

I did a small batch of 50 from my circuitboard manufacturer... I'll be selling these for $15 a piece shipped domestic, if you're interested, and you live outside the US, message me to see what shipping will be.
