Hey Guys, just wanted to check in here before I place my order with Tim and get your feedback since this is the first non-conversion I'll be working on. The design is a collaborative effort based upon my wife's feedback that is meant to blend the Qui-Gon and Obi TPM sabers. I will be adding some sleeve material to the piece to help with that prequel era look, and I included a picture to give you an idea of the skeleton of the thing.

Here's a parts list for you to peruse. Constructive criticism welcome.
BH 15 w/Glossy wet black PC and custom machined grooves.
Choke style 1 short with style 1 PC in wet black
Main body style 2 with standard hole and PC style 1 wet black
Pommel style 7
I am also going to be ordering some services such as the blade retention screw, more holes for switches and what-not, etc, but I need some input as far as the electronics layout goes.
I want to set up my first PC install for this, so I'll need an aux button, and I'm debating the new box style 13 so I can add a rice and recharge port, but I'm unsure how best to cut a window in the MHS Sleeve material to accommodate the box with it's unusual shape. Internals are another concern. If I go with an in-hilt recharge, I will consider the new 7.4 14500 packs Tim is now carrying, and place the card on top of the pack, just behind a 2W speaker, but I'm unsure how to attach all these to a chassis system and still give access to the SD card if changes need to be made, or unplug the batteries if they need to be swapped out for any reason.
Thanks for looking, everyone. Cheers.
