This looks really, amazingly fantastic.  What a beautiful kit.  And I have to add that I'm completely jealous of your New Rocks.  I've wanted a pair for about ten years now.   :D  Best of luck!

I cannot believe I missed this build thread, especially as a fellow Vok'Chi applicant...your work is utterly sublime. Just had a read-through of this thread and I don't think I've ever been so inspired to get home and work on my kit!

I may have to have a stab at making a vibroknife with your method too...was one LED all you needed? And where on Earth did you get such fine perspex? :L

Thank you:D *hides blush  under the helmet*

Cant wait for August till I move to a new place and will be able  use garage  as a workshop:D
Need do lots of additions for this kit and improve it.



For vibro-sword I used one LED at the bottom, but if you add more it will be even better:D
Maybe even use the strip of leds along the blade. During bright day lightning glow is not visible;/
I reused LED from dog collar ( it has batteries and button already) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zehui-Safety-Flashing-circular-Pendant/dp/B009WJF94W/ref=pd_sim_199_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CNJTRENGC19BBXZMWFD

Perspex I  got from here http://www.midlandplastics.co.uk/
paid ~ 1£ ( without postage) for  thickness 5mm length 500mm width  60mm piece.

Do you ever see a WIP so awesome it makes you mad?
That's this'n. Fan-bleeping-tastic, vod. Everything about this kit is really remarkable.
Good luck with your application! (Though I doubt you'll need luck, frankly :P)

Hi !
The one is the middle is more classic, but I like the idea of the third one. The thing is that 2nd one is more balanced.

Just stumbled across this while I was seat in to see how people mod New Rocks. Mind is blown. Amazing work vod!

Good to see a fellow Londoner on here get approved. Here's hoping I'm not too far behind. Be great to meet you and the rest of the Vok'Chi sometime soon.

That Vibroblade...  :o :o :o
