Lord Atrocity

i went down the CSS route and i tried a million different configurations and unfortunately it didn't work out the way i wanted it to. the distinctive parts that rep the revan saber is hard to achieve threw them. the on/off switch on the main bodies from CSS does not fit well with the revan set up. the lines dont match along with the emmter, even after you build something that is slightly resemble revans saber their powder coating coloring config does not fit at all. i believe i saw someone on the forum that bought something from ultrasabers and painted it. it looks good and fitting for approval, but like i said what is good and bad because there is no set standard. the saber i bought off of LDM was a little pricey but thats because i added some bells and whistles. my honest opinion instead of driving yourself nuts trying to work out something with CSS ( like i did lol ) save the casholo contact LDM and work something out. like i said his service is amazing and he is willing to help anyone out, believe me on this i slightly tortured the poor man for a little while lolol

well on the update... i finally gave in and i placed an order from LDM, all i have to say is the customer service is AMAZING ! it was a little pricey but worth it, i should be receiving my saber within 2 weeks. so ill update with pics

to all my brothers and sisters out there i just want to say may the fourth be with you. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Lord Atrocity

oh believe me i will, i tried the glass/bondo route. didn't like he outcome. now its time for the foam and plastic. lets see how that ends up. but if i do work something out were it is durable and is accurate, you guys will first to find out.

if nothing is set in stone as in " approval " for the right saber, then i dont think it will be officially approved. if you really think bout it, every revan saber that was made is custom no matter if its pieced together from different sites or if a saber smith makes one with his own twist to it. what needs to happen is someone to make an EXACT replica of revans saber and post a tut like the previous post suggested. then when that is done it all of a matter of time before we all emulate that tut and THEN it might be approved, other then that. i think we are all just going to sit here a scratch our heads and do out best lol

well, isnt that a bummer. looks like i have to use my superior creative mind to do this lolol

does any one of you fine people have /or know someone who has the templates for Revans armor. im having slight issues here

just like the rest of you guys/girls im also working on a revan build. from what i learned is that its trial by error. with the mask itself you have to figure out how to scale the file on the pep program to your liking, but depending on the the mask file you have or received, your going to have to make some mods to the mask after the pep build ( yes i mean hacking and slicing lol ) unfortunately i learned the hard way, after i glassed and bondoed im still in the process of making it work and fit.

i appreciate the help guys. i did find someone who made a decent replica of his saber but the site wanted over 600$ for it, im desperate but im not that desperate lol i understand that its not really "needed" for 501st approval but im sure you all can understand that the costume is not complete without his saber. unfortunately i am kind of a perfectionist with my work, so last night i decided i was going to try and create my own Revan saber. as of now im going to piece parts together from the custom saber shop and ultra sabers. i have the tools to do certain mods to the hilt and im going to try and paint/weather it on my own. i hope i can start this project within the next month, ill try to post pix and steps on the progress. i hope by me doing this, i can help every other revanite here. so we can end this ongoing battle lolol

I am sure this isnt the first nor last time this is going to be brought up. I have been searching for the last 3 to 4 months , high and low for a decent/somewhat exact replica that Revan wields. i tried piecing parts together from different sites and e-mail every site i can find and nothing looks decent enough to pass for his saber or i get the " sorry we are booked up for custom builds". Is there anyone that can help me out. the goal is to pick this bad boy up by June for Philly comic con. i know time is short here. i appreciate any help that comes my way.
