Safe to say my second attempt at a Titanic model is going better than my first

First model I made around 2017 or so. I did not know what I was doing.

The second iteration that I started in 2020 has been going much better. It's all handpainted. Literally no spray paint. Please help me I'm insane

Have you fixed your loose D rings?

Something that does annoy me about these LGT sabers is that the D rings are insanely loose. I like the jingle when I carry them, not when I swing them. How have you fixed them, or do you not care?

By the way I loaded Kyberphonic's Return V2 on this proffie saber and MAN I'm obsessed. I also changed out the voice lines with different ones. The originals were just too cringe and annoying.

Luke's ROTJ saber from Vader's Sabers

I bit the bullet and bought the proffie v2.2 ROTJ saber from Vader's Sabers, and opted to have it weathered.

Holy smokes what a cool lightsaber experience. It has amazing sound in comparison the XenoV3 I blew up a couple weeks back. Having an issue with the SD card being corrupted but Russ and customer support are getting that straightened out.

It took a week and one day from point of ordering to arrive. That's from China to me. In a week.

This will make a fine addition to my collection.

Wedding lightsaber duel

I struck gold with my fiance because I got a text from her while I was at work asking if I wanted to have a lightsaber duel at our wedding

This gave me a lot to think about, in terms of what character lightsaber I'd want. I decided on a LSW ROTJ saber. It's just cool. She decided she wanted Mara Jade's lightsaber. It was only after she told me this that she found out Luke married her. How fitting is that?

We are going to do choreography with the sabers. I wanted a proffie board saber, and she will be getting a XenoV3. We understand the blades are delicate.

Two questions: does anyone here own the Dark Hero 3 V2? How do you feel about it? How long did it take to reach you? And second: how durable are the ultrabright pixel blades? They've just come out recently, and I might pick one up from Vader's Sabers.

1 month with a Brottar Case

I've had my Brottar display case for a month now and want to give you my thoughts

I got this on discount for around $170. It's the curved panel display case

If you recall, I said that this case reminds me of a Walmart jewelry case. I no longer feel that way

The case does a really good job of displaying these figures. I feel like I don't have enough crap to fill the case but that issue will be solved soon. I absolutely love the motion sensor for the lights. Not having to turn them on and off is a blessing for me

I have rearranged our office a few times and this thing has moved just fine. I was originally worried about It's wobbling but have come to understand that's how it's supposed to be

This is a SUPER great budget display case. Moducase is great but I'm not shelling out three times my monthly car payment just so General Grievous looks good

I will buy another one when we get a house in the next year or so. Installation was super easy and straightforward. I am super glad the curving side panels are acrylic and not glass. Curved glass is weak and one wrong move could shatter the pane.

Pros: easy to build, lighting is good, motion sensor is good, it looks great, and you can fit up to 5 figures per shelf depending on poses.

Cons: none. dust, maybe.

Artsabers experience

Alright. Final update. Never buying another one of these lightsabers.

​

Artsabers shipped me a xenopixel Neopixel saber and it arrived with no battery. I ask them for a battery and it never arrived. In the meantime, I did research, and ordered an 18650 3120mAh battery from Illumn.com. it arrived today. I put it in the core, and it gave me an audio warning of some kind.

​

I have been ignored by artsabers.

​

After fiddling with it for 3 minutes, the board started smoking.

​

I'm now out $300. Great.

Audio error with new battery

I'm getting an audio error with a new battery for the saber I recently got. It is a KeepPower 18650 3120 mAh battery, a battery that should work. What is this error?

I got my first replica lightsaber out and the first thing my cat does is try to eat it

Artsabers lightsaber arrived missing a battery

Is this normal? Removed the core from my new Luke ROTJ saber to find no battery. I feel like it should be somewhere but it isn't.

I did contact them. I expect a reply in two weeks lol

Darth Vader only used one hand to pick Palpatine up in ROTJ

He used his severed hand to brace the body as he threw it down the shaft yeah but damn, anakin was flexing with this one and I never knew it

I also love that even as he's being picked up he's absolutely hellbent on still killing Luke

the "I'm taking my time" collection

I literally maybe only buy a figure once per year. I don't overspend. I look for deals. I wait for discounts. I have a pretty good budget I've stuck to and treat myself occasionally.

The display case is a Brottar one. Someone will ask.

What's next? Anakin and Obi Wan (mustafar) not that artisan crap either.

My favorite figure is 40th Anniversary ESB Vader.

My tier list is:

  1. ESB Vader

  2. MK85

  3. General Grievous

  4. ROTJ 1/4 Vader

  5. BBM Optimus

  6. MK2 1.0

  7. MK4

It's a tentative list. I love all my figures. I would not have bought them if I did not want them.

My copy of A New Hope is broken ..

This is art I made in Blender. I usually make trains, but I thought I'd take a stab at Star Wars.

The building sound from Lego Star Wars was made by rubbing two Duplo blocks together

I think, I mean honestly it sounds perfect. If anyone knows how the sound design for TT Games was put together let me know.
