Title: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: DarthCooper88 on January 25, 2013, 01:19:40 PM This is the 4th hilt from this series that I have built, with this hilt I decided on a hand cut tsuba (still having a tough time locating more oval aluminum for hilts) Originally this one had a cursed PC1.6 installed that lived for all of 5 seconds (and worked!) until the operator kissed the recharge port with the rice cable whilst attempting to plug it in to the computer....oooops :'(
So I got the board repaired shelved the whole thing and let that one collect dust. Along came a spare Nano from my last SK(Ghosts of the grey font Installed, Thanks LordBlako), an 18650 trustfire 2400ma, a custom delrin mini-rail, bass speaker, Harley chopper mom. switch 2 power on red 3mm leds, 1 green pommel accent slaved from the main blade circuit , and a Green P4 running at 1400ma. I have to say thanks to Jedi Yar-Nala for the custom Leather Tsuka-Ito wrap masterfully applied as well as the great pix after he finished!.This one was covered with Copper-vein powder-coat gloss and distressed black Corinthian leather.It also handles quite Admirably, Enjoy ;D (http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z433/DarthAlice88/P1230114_zpsd72ee843.jpg) (http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z433/DarthAlice88/P1230131_zps4656b365.jpg) (http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z433/DarthAlice88/P1230146_zps135c3dc1.jpg) Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: eerockk on January 25, 2013, 02:17:07 PM Beautiful work again, DC. Is that the one you posted as once being too bright for your liking?
Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: DarthCooper88 on January 25, 2013, 02:28:58 PM Beautiful work again, DC. Is that the one you posted as once being too bright for your liking? Same main hilt design, different saber,this one has a single P4 green (cannabilized from my Prophecy) with a 1Ohm, 2 watt resistor, giving me 1400ma of overdriven powah! ......... the ungodly bright green one ended up in a Jedi's hands down in the steamy jungles of Brazil ;DTitle: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: Darth Kitsune on January 25, 2013, 08:25:45 PM Oh god another. I freaking love these. Like. I don't know how to describe it, but these designs are making me in lightsaber heaven.

Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: Big Andy on January 26, 2013, 06:17:15 AM I love these things, lightsabers and kitanas, my two favorite things now meshed into one. ;D
Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: hedgehog1 on January 26, 2013, 06:25:35 AM Yup - this is a seriously sweet saber.
I really like the oval shape the pommel end up with. It would never have occurred to me to try that... Several round of bowing and "We're not worthy" are in order here. ;D Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: eerockk on January 26, 2013, 12:51:24 PM Several round of bowing and "We're not worthy" are in order here. ;D Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: Master Rel on January 26, 2013, 03:21:39 PM We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
;D Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: Sandtracker on January 26, 2013, 04:44:01 PM Awsome saber, as always, Darth Cooper!

Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: DarthCooper88 on January 29, 2013, 03:20:13 PM Thank you Saberfans! I'm finishing up a couple of projects while I wait on supplies (to finish other projects) this is one that I built awhile back and is the last of this style to be built ( I have a couple different ways of making these, and unfortunately I can only get Oval pipe in 100' sections) the next build possibly on the list will be a Devil May Cry Yamoto (the design is solid) and materials mostly on hand. I have also been collecting economical tsuba, some of which may end up on future hilts ........Teaser Pic :o

Really liking the lower right one with braid/weave and gilded accents :D Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: Darth Sabre on January 29, 2013, 07:50:12 PM I know it has been expressed before, but...
This is the most fantastic thing I have ever seen! You are a genius, Dark Brother Cooper! Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: swords4two on January 31, 2013, 03:13:59 AM I saw an epireal symbol belt buckle made of brass somewhere. How awesome would that be for a hilt
Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: DarthCooper88 on February 01, 2013, 12:45:38 AM Nice collection! Thanks, I am thinking that one might be a good candidate for a build coming up, another new board out there, with 2 fonts, and 2 colors clingy blingy and lots of color mix, this might end up in something similar to the Electrum style , I want to pull of something bio-mechanical looking in this seriesReally liking the lower right one with braid/weave and gilded accents :D Title: Re: The Heavy Battle Katana "Isotope" Post by: kagemusha shin on February 01, 2013, 04:38:28 AM Piece of art I love katana my choice in combat.
