MHS Sith saber

[ElbE121]

Here is my recently completed MHS Sith saber. *I was aiming for a regal-esque feel to it, like the sith knew how good he was and aimed to show it through his weapon. *It is MHS based except for the pommel which is from Acerocket. *It sports a P4 red, MR Vader sound card, a 3.7 li-ion in hilt recharge, pololu board for momentary switch use. *I also added 2 Presta bike valves, the lower valve contains a 5mm purple led that is on when the kill key is removed, the upper valve has a 5mm white blinking led that is in sync with the main led. *The double male adapter has holes drilled all the way around the ring, since the pololu board has a small red light on it to show that it is on I positioned the board so the light would shine through the holes for an imitation crystal chamber. *As soon as the video is done processing the youtube video will be linked as well.

Very nice build. I really like the dark tone of the entire saber. The accent leds kind of throw me off a little though.;)

[sithlordfaust]

sweet design. deserves better than MR sound. but you did a great job with what youve got.
I like the bike valve accents and the rings they are situated on

[mps]

This a very nice looking saber. I really like the double male adapter to look like a crystal chamber.
Well done.

[Lord Dottore Matto]

I like this one too. Very nice.

[Azmaria Dei]

it's quite nice and the pommel fits it perfectly.

[Knighthammer]

Looks good - I like the idea of valves for LED holders. Its great how everyday parts can be turned into something else.

[ARKM]

Nice looking hilt.

[JamoUp]

cool color scheme. For me, those big accent bezels take away from the saber, especially with the switch sitting flush.

[dgdve]

I like it, I dont mind the accents.. and I'm actually a BIG fan of the (more accurate) harder to activate clash sensor.. more realistic (imo).. you know the phantom clash thing I see(its way worse than phantom swings but).... ehhhh thats not cool in my book lol so good job!! I like it

[cardcollector]

I like it very much, your silver on black is perfect!

[bk_renesis]

Really like this one alot. Great combo and color scheme. Definitely worthy of a CF. well done.

[Caine Drathul]

Very cool build. Now all it needs are some spikes. :twisted: MUAHAHAHA!

[Onli-Won Kanomi]

Cool...I particularly like the Presta bike valves [going to Google those ;)] and the holed connector...nice touches those.

[Invisas1979]

Yeah I really like the adaptor too and unfortunately I might have to steal that idea for another project. I hope you don't mind.

As for the rest, I'm a fan of all the main parts of the saber and you've brought them together really well.

[Sloda Foade]

Love it, refined but still with a sith feel. love the valve LED bezels, I might have to see if I can source something similar. but maybe for 3mm or sub micro LEDs.
Great job

[Darth Cipher]

sick saber dude. love the leds but not so sure on the kill switch

[JRD1]

[Jedi_Knight_Zekk]
