<font size="3"><font color="blue">I know many of you buy parts to design one saber at a time. But are there any of you out there who are obsessive like me and want to be able to change the look of your saber to suit your whim, or LED color?

I started out with one of the MHS stunt sabers with a Royal Blue LED that Ultra sent me and have been buying more parts from Tim as they come out.

I now have 3 more LED colors besides the RB:</font id="blue"> <font color="green">green,</font id="green"> <font color="orange">amber</font id="orange"> <font color="blue">and</font id="blue"> <font color="red">red.</font id="red">

<font color="blue">Besides the main hilt tube and the style one pommel and emitter/blade holder, I also have the extension tube, pommel styles #2, 3, and 4, and emitters #3 and 4. I also put a quick connect on my battery pack just because I can. lol

Who else is amassing MHS parts like I am?</font id="blue"></font id="size3">

Guilty!

Even have an EL MHS holder, that's one of my favorites set up with the ribbed section, two extension pieces and switch in the butt.

I have been slowly working on getting every piece as well but all this Windu excitement has gotten me sidetracked.

I now see why we are out of parts all the time J-Lo is hording them[:p]
I really don't have any extra parts since most everything I buy goes into building sabers that are for sell or already sold. I am working on two sabers right now for myself which will stay with me, a red custom el saber and a darth vader saber built in a heiland flash handle. Both are about half finished and will take a while since I have other sabers to build first.

It appears that J-Lo has an apprentice, now that you too have revealed your weakness it shall be exploited. (evil laugh goes here)[}:)]

Have:

2 tapered pommels
1 base MHS (complete)
1 2.5" extension
1 ribbed section
4 swap kits - red, royal blue, green, and white w/ filters
spare harness

I scrapped my Obi-Wan idea, so that means that I'll have a spare switchbox too. [;)]

--------------------------

Still need:

3" fem/fem
tapered emitter

--------------------------

This is what my saber will look like when its done, and below it is my sons. I guess we can mix and match as needed.

Wow, that is a neat set you have Jedi-Loreen. Totally interchangeable, now that you mention it, I should do that!

BTW, Devilstar, I've been meaning to say the child's one you made looks really slick.

WOW....you all have money for the MHS parts ??!! [:I][;)]

I'll be saving up and ordering for a specific saber build...maybe three so my kids can each have one.....of course then they'll be beating up on me....[:(]

Reality often interferes with what would otherwise be an idyllic delusion.

I make my money to build sabers by selling NASCAR diecast cars and other assorted things, otherwise the wife would of had issues with it long ago and I can't blame her, I have made a ton of lightsabers for people "on the house" so I am not to much of a threat on the ebay world right now[;)]
After talking about this last time though other then a couple of kids sabers that I still need to do anything else will be done on at least a pay for parts basis.

Hey guys, I just bought my second MHS set ... just finished painting it to look similar to Obi-Wan's. Here are some pic links:

I'll probably end up buying tons of parts from Tim, best one-stop-saber-shop anywhere!

I like the painted look, but I decided to polish mine (and I'm not done quite yet).

Hi xwingband! LOL, yeah I painted the threads ... I got so anxious to start painting that I didn't tape up the threads ... I noticed after I was ready to start ... I thought about taping them but my impatience got the better of me. Luckily it didn't seem to affect the threads connecting properly. I'm going to add a control box, blade lock, and some control studs this weekend. I'll post final pics once it's complete and I get the electronics installed.

Gah... Those Obi/Lukes look so nice, maybe I won't abandon my original plan after all.

Jedi-Loreen,
I just ordered a couple of pommels and that is just the start.
I'm sure by this time next year I'll have most of the MHS parts offered.

Jedibum,
No final picture of this saber?
There is a jeweled pommel fo sale now it is Pommel Style 3.

Jedi tom, you realize this thread is over a year old, don't you :roll:

Jedi-Loreen

Yeah. I forgot I even started it. :P

JediTom

Yes, I know it is an old thread but I had something to add and Jedibum never did put up a picture like he said he would.
I wanted to see the his final saber.

In fact I may have posted to older threads.
I starter at the last thread and I am reading them all.
