Well, it didn't become an annual happenstance, but we did finally get around to a second K3GR contest at JSSDC.
It's been a while and a lot of the older threads about the design phase were lost, but I do have a picture of the final design as voted on by the JSSDC membership.
Which was based on Arm on Fire's Samuri3000 saber.
I took the reference material and created a design that allowed a high level of creative customization from the base saber.
I kept the design plain on purpose and there were three 'blank' shrouds included to give each member a chance to do what they wanted with them.
I did my part and this is what I ended up with:
Sabers shipped to members and the 'game was on'.
The members who participated were:
Dave H and his K3GR2
Forgetful Jedi Knight and his Warsprite
Sollus Vir and his Tyranus
Ki-Djowac and his K3GR2
cannibal869 and his Rogue
Iggy and his Crooked Tooth
Chaos and his Cu Sith
Arc Angel and her Blossom
There were two rounds of voting and the overall winner was cannibal869 and his Rogue K3GR2 saber. Cannibal869 earns instant BMF status for his Rogue and bragging rights as winner of the K3GR2 contest.
Congrats to Cannibal869 and all the JSSDC members who entered. I encourage each of the entrants to post their own thread to show off their fantastic works.
