All I need is to do some touch up to the paint and get a blade retaining thumb screw and maybe add sound!

5w Royal Blue.

My Digi cam sucks...

Nice saber! It looks crazy long too, so I imagine sound in there wouldn't be too tough.

Its long enough so that when you have both hands griping it, they clear the center switch enough to prevent accidental shut off, Even though I don't plan to fight with it much, Im always thinkin function over form.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Hey no worries, it looks great! Is it mainly MHS parts, or are there sink tubes in there/other things as well (besides the O-rings and such)?

Also... how long is it? You might even try a "dual" speaker setup--something Corbin and I have been talking about for a while...

Very nice saber.
As for your camera do you have the Macro setting on?
You need it on for clear close ups, most digital cameras have this feature.

Mine doesn't, because it's a cheap piece of crap. :?

I love what you did with hilt style 4. It looks like a custom made part. This is what, 13.25 inches long? That's pretty close to what I always shoot for too. Nova's right, you could fit just about any electronic in there that you wanted.

13.5 Inches long. All MHS parts. Dremel's > Me I tried a few sink tube styles a while back but I dont have a steady enough hand with a dremal to make them look good.

Right now its just a 5w and a 9volt battery... Althought I just added sound to my red 3watt with a mr vader board!

Very nice!

I like the grip. I see o-rings there, but what are the wider black parts?

Paint?

Model paint from walmart, held up pretty well.

Cool, thanks.

I'm looking into grip options for my next project. I like the look of that hilt, and wondered what you used.

I got my MHS parts in today, looked at these pics, and went, "Hmmmm, that sure looks familiar." I even chose the same color for mine.

I have a different emitter, and won't be painting the ribbed section black, but otherwise we have followed pretty much the same path.

Sweet dude, Its a really good dueling hilt but the length and it being so light threw me off hardcore during my last session with it, So I have a beat up middle and pinky finger... LoL
