Jacen Solo "V2" Saber for David H-W
« on: July 27, 2014, 10:28:38 AM »
The Saber of Jacen Solo...in V2 trim

This is a CSv2 Jacen Solo Saber builds for a web client.  The saber is, of course, from the Rebellion run.  They are just such great sabers that I am constantly amazed that there were so few made.  The 1" ID makes the install tough, but the 2 accent LEDs right in the middle of that 1" make it even more so.   The machined resonance is a neat little unit as it contains the 23mm HO speaker and recharge port as well as provides the fulcrum for the easy spin pommel insert.  It has to be seen to be appreciated for it's elegance.  I always thought that this design would lend itself well to the V2 style. In place of the cone knob, the client wanted a Covertech wheel.  I also decided to change the accent LED colors up from the standard Jacen so I went with a blue and a green (blade and FoC colors).  Blue is the power on and green comes on with the blade.  Enjoy.

Rebellion/LDM Jacen Solo Hilt
CSv2
9W RGB (B blade, G FoC)

That does look really good with V2 weathering!

That would look pretty cool if the activation plate was a etched silver mirrored acrylic with an accent led underneath.  >:D
