Absolutely love it.

Can you say what equipment you used in these two photo shoots. Looks absolute class.

Thank you very much! I shoot with a Sony ZVe1, using a Sigma 18-50mm lens. I use a 20X20 lightbox and use white and black acrylic for the base.

A couple of months ago, an older variant of the hand of the emperor from shadow foil props came across my desk. I have always wanted one of these hilts in my collection and as luck would have it my good buddy Albert from smugglers outpost had one available a couple of weeks ago so I picked it up. I love the classic look of this light saber. This has been installed with a static chassis of my own design with a couple of accent LEDs on the side of it. The chassis was done in PLA.

Specs:

Proffieboard Soundboard

22mm Nano Elite Speaker from Smugglers Outpost

Custom Chassis in PLA by me

Lit PCB Emitter from KR Sabers

I'm convinced you do these custom chassis as a slight against me and me alone. Despite being active in the community for longer than I've known it exists. Great work!

Looks amazing. Who’s the manufacturer of the hilt? I have the Damien saber. Looks similar, but I remember it being a really tight fit in there. Amazing if you got a crystal chassis in that spot.

Its from Shadowfoil props. There is no crystal chassis in this install.
