Sonnenschein Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 I like the bulb part at the emitter! Just like in the drawings! But sound is a little weak. Can you use a better speaker? Quote
SW1 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Thank you Karin , belive me this thing is loud i had to turn the volume down when recording , this is only a test just to get the feel with the blade lit up and the shimmering this has a blue luxeon 5 led very bright , i am going to test a white soul P4 Led that will be even brighter , really pleased with the tear bulb worked out a dream keep you all posted Quote
stukatrooper Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Not loud enough ! that thing is an ear bleeder !!! Blimy Steve you have cracked it my son .I would really like to see the White blade mate.Is that a letter M on the tear drop ? Quote

SW1 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Here is another vid ,to show the swooshing sound when moving it left to right ,yes Pete that is the letter M on the tear bulb and as Gary said M for McQuarrie and Empire made Will change the blue led for a white one to see the differance Pete , everything seem's to be falling in to place with this exciting project Quote
SW1 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Also going to taper the top of the tear bulb in to the main blade so you dont see any ridge , so it looks all as one , plus i can play with the sound's have differant light saber sounds just need to reset the sd card Quote
Sonnenschein Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Speechless! I didn't know you had such talent, Steve! Now imagine an entire squad of RM troopers at the premiere of Ep VII, all yielding a Lazer Sword! BTW: You have a very soothing,radio voice! Fact: In the german version, it has always been called "Laser-Schwert" (i.e Laser-sword) instead of Licht-Säbel (Light sabre) Quote
Billhag Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 I like the bulb part at the emitter! Just like in the drawings! ....my thoughts exactly. Mr. Weir, thank you for those stunningly creative, highly informative and INCREDIBLY loud!!, televisuals Sir. Have IT!!!!! Quote
clonetrooperdoubled Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Great job. I look forward to seeing the next iteration without the ridge. Perhaps a few holes in the blade under the bulb might allow for greater diffusion of light into the bulb. Just a thought. Quote
SW1 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Like your thinking there David with having hole's in the blade where it sits inside of the tear bulb , my only concern would be that you could loose some of the light up the main blade , i shall test it out Quote
clonetrooperdoubled Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Let me know how it turns out! Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Posted March 15, 2013 I think making the holes might be a bad idea. The cut edges of the holes will reflect the light. hence you will see the holes. I think the bulb area illuminates great. Just smooth out the transition from the blub to the blade and it will help. I'd like to see what a white light would look like. Kevin W. Quote
stukatrooper Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Dont drill any holes Steve ,the bulb is bright enough mate. Dont fix something that is not broken. Quote
89Batman[TK] Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Totally agree - if it ain't broke... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Sonnenschein Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Once we have a squad of concept troopers, we'll need a concept Vader, too- who's gonna be the first? Quote
kwdesigns[TK] Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Posted March 15, 2013 Once we have a squad of concept troopers, we'll need a concept Vader, too- who's gonna be the first? The Concept Vader has already been made. I have seen a few of them now. I saw one at Cel 6 in FL. Kevin W. Quote
Sonnenschein Posted March 15, 2013 Report Posted March 15, 2013 Oh, I didn't know that. More reason to finish the trooper! Quote
clonetrooperdoubled Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Just a suggestion. Looks like I have been outvoted. The point about visibility of the holes seems pretty valid. Quote
Dday[501st] Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) My long term plan is to do a concept vader. I've got the connection for a top notch helmet and armor... the rest.. thats the hard part. Slowly though I imagine. For now, it will just be my ROTJ vader I finished today, finally got my shins.

SW1 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Here we go prototyping a few items today at MEM troop Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote
Turrican Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 That's some realy great work. Looking forward to see the complete suit. Quote
stukatrooper Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 The picture was taken at one of the UKG s larger troops. Everyone who had something Mcquarrie brought it along . Steve and he's light saber , Billy and he's lid and my shield . Even with a stock TK it looks the part , with Kevins armour its going to be epic . Quote
