This is a saber I call "Moons Edge" and I have been waiting a very long time to finish this saber, and this will be upgraded in the future with a CF board from Erv.
The plans for this saber have changed ALOT from when it was first concieved.

The electronics are in the mail at the second. This will be equipped with a Seoul p4 and an MR sound board. The board is courtesy of Darth Morbius.

Well here it is.

Great job Valeon. Looks great with the grooves in the main hilt black. From concept to reality, a cool process.

::UPDATE::
I got the Board in today, and I'm going to lowes to purchase a tube to act as a shuttle for the parts. When the LED comes in, Ill take plenty of pictures.

I got tired of waiting on my p4, so I just put in a green lux 3 I had layin around. Here's the "completed" saber. The reason I quote is because the grip is temporary until I find something that looks a bit better. As you see, I went with a different type of switch and mounting option, and added an LED next to it (its not functional yet). Tell me what you think!

HAHA! I guess you COULD look at it that way! I prefer to keep as many limbs as possible though.

That´s a great hilt you´ve got there... You´ve really succeeded in translating the concept to the finished work. Congratulations, can´t wait to see it with a purple blade :D

nice looking hilt!
Looks like a very serviceable field-worn saber.
One would expect an experienced and skilled Jedi to be weilding it.

Thank you very much! That is EXACTLY what I was going for, something that was well taken care of, but well used.

Valeon,

The saber is looking great man! Nice to see that you got a kitty picture as well! (Man your cat looks mean!) :mrgreen:

So when did you put the LEDs in the bus card? Have I really been out of touch that long? LMAO

I'll be buying my MHS stuff VERY soon (As soon as the store is open again!).

That saber is gonna be sweet with the "Ancient Saber" font in a CF!
