MPS Pommel style 8
MPS Insert style 1
Activation box style 2
MHS Sleeve material
Electrics
Petit Crouton Sound Module
SPST orange dot Illuminated switch
Luxeon Rebel Star (Red-Orange)
TrustFire Protected 3.7V 2400mAh running 7.4v

So far only really getting the wiring done and trying to jam it all in there
Also the sound seems to be a little low i look at the memory card and its set to 4 so full and the led seems to me not as bright as i would like any thoughts ?
Thanks
UPDATE***
Ok so its been awhile but i finally got a day that i could do nothing but work on my saber and here is the finished product.

So i spent the entire day building this the longest time was spent making the cradle to hold the wiring the problem was the 2 different types of inside diameters :( made for a fun time.
The over lays turned out well very happy next tim ill try a bit more shap to them but very good for a first time try.
So in the end i decided on the shatterpiont font from Madcow and a great Boot from Alex Gordon he does great work.
Big Thanks to the members who have sharred thier wealth of knowledge and time.
Please give me all the feedback you can as i wish to learn what i need to do to improve.
