I've seen others doing them to make things like a Luke ROTJ stunt, V2's, etc...

I have never wanted a mini before, but this gets my juices flowing!

.45 LED sabers anyone?

I wonder if we could find polycarbonate tubing that small. Maybe acrylic?

The possibilities are interesting. I bet a 3000mcd LED would light up a .45 scale blade nicely.

Way cool. Having several of those converted could make for a very interesting display piece.

I was thinking a hybrid cut-away. The great part about being small is that it would be easier. Less parts needed and the fudge factor would be higher on exactness and general connections.

On a full size saber glue wouldn't cut it, but a dab of superglue and that'll hold half of your stuff.

I never even thought of that Xwing, I've got a dozen or so of those lying around. Could make for a fun weekend project!

I have one of those singing cards. I got a Star Wars one I'm going to gut and stick in the stand. :)

I've been stocking broken electronics for a bit now. Another project to the list unfortunately.

They make polycarb tubing as small as 3/8". I used 5/8" for my EL lightdagger.

That is cool! I always wondered how hard it would be to light one of those up!

I had to go to Radio Shack today for some parts, so I picked up a 3000mcd blue 5mm LED just for grins. I do believe I am going to try this little project...assuming I can find a suitable .45 saber on eBay for a decent price.

Its so simple to take apart .45s most if not all can be taken apart. I took apart just now, my yoda, and anakin. i havent tackled my maul yet because i dont want to damage it. its the full version not the half.

Anybody taken apart the Sidious? That would make an awesome laser pointer if nothing else...
