This is my favorite of your Mark III's as well.
Probably, like you said, the best of its kind out there.

The scrolling RGB colors look great.

Is the LED an RGBW? You list RGB but I wasn't sure if you got the white hues by combining all the channels or if you really have a white die in there.

Also, how does the 3.7 hack affect runtime? With a 3000 mah pack maybe it is not noticeable?

Wow. This is one of the best MK-III I ever seen. Excellent weathering job.


Have you heard the tragedy of Mark Hamill the Wise?

It is an RGB.  Was easy to tune with RICE to have a nice white flash.  The run time is EPIC, like 1.5 hours so far.  Not showing any signs of slowing down yet.  Thank you for the kind words. (JANGO as well).

I may Auction this one as a package if SS doesn't show up soon-ish.  I am giving that standard 30 days from the time that it is finished, then it will go up.

You should just sell it to me and save yourself the trouble ;) hehehe, kidding. I love me some intense auctioning. I bet this will be a good one to watch with all the interest expressed so far.

I hope so.  I have had some legitimate issues with non-paying clients lately.  It is difficult to build a great commission for someone only to have them disappear when it is time to take possession of the saber.  I hope SS is okay.

A great question.  I have given 6 full weeks come this weekend without contact, so an auction it shall be.  I will likely auction the Gladius this week and the MKIII some time in the next two weeks.

Sorry to hear that man.  His loss is the forum's gain I guess.

I am very disappointed.  He was so excited about it.  I really spent a great deal of time with blown up pictures trying to get it just right for him.  I pray nothing happened to him, but this was a major item on my build log so I can't afford to hold it forever.  Heck, I still have a MKIII and a Graflex from another guy who disappeared and a MKVI too.  The MKIII and Graflex will have to be upgraded at this point since they have PCv1.5's in them.  ugggh.

Strange that someone would just abandon a project like that... I am assuming you require an initial investment to shoo away flakes? You seem like an astute businessman.

How odd... Military perhaps?

Nope.  He isn't.  It is indeed weird.

On the one hand I hope that he's OK, but on the other hand, I almost hope that he isn't - it's unjustifiable to just "vanish" after initiating a contract with someone, (legal or otherwise.)

Sorry to hear that you've had more than one of these types of incidents General.

I too hate to think we've lost another member on the forum.

These beauties will sell. I don't see a true need to upgrade.  :)) they look great to me ( I'm sure)!!

I'm just such a fan of this work!
