Blue is my color, it is who I am

Here is my new custom saber. It's a DSI I got from a grab bag a while back, so I decided to change it up some. I've become more and more fond of yellow as a blade color but wasn't sure what hilt it would look good on. Then I remembered about my grab bag DSI and that it was the only saber I owned that I wouldn't mind changing the LED of (it had a SRD module in it). It was also the plainest hilt I own, which made it good for my first fully custom project (other than the hilt obviously).

It has an Amber LED and yellow-ringed, latching AV switch. I also added Li-ion battery setup so the blade would be nice and bright. I used contact paper to add some more silver to the body of the hilt and weathered it some to give it more of a steel look. I also replaced the retention screw with a steel thumb screw, replaced the pommel with the Raven SS one, and customized a blade plug to fit the look of the saber. I am very pleased with the way it turned out, but still have a couple parts I want to add before it is completely finished. Pics below.

Thanks! I'm glad y'all like it. It took a while for me to decide on the parts I wanted to use for it, inside and out.

This looks really great! But also not too extravagant at the same time. Point. Smiley

I'm really happy with the color of the blade. The amber LED is the way to go if you want a nice golden yellow. The pictures still don't do it justice.

Finally got my custom shroud done that I designed for this saber. It has some weathering on it as well. Pics below:

Oh nice saber dude. Has a really menacing look to it. Tongue The wider rings would actually be a cool new finish option for the DSI saber. I should see about getting me one.

Thanks everyone! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it. I may add a couple more small things. Nothing too major though.
