the 1.5" sinktube will go over mhs, the 1.25" sinktube will go in mhs(sans the ribbed and vgrooved sections) .

Well, definitely go for the quick change. I picked up a MHS saber from a fellow Brit & he'd never got around to building it, so I added the quick change with my Amber LED & will adapt my Inquisitor hilt (see in the gallery) to be a quick change too!

I'd use the Blade screw as the Vos button, & hide the actual button in the groove somewhere.

Picked up afew of my Anne Rice books about a year ago, but still nowhere near getting through my pile of unreads to where they are!

I personally like the Corbin Battle blade for Green sabers, & i'd do it as a 1" not 3/4". That's just my 2 cents though!

Yeah 1" blades light up easyer than 3/4, But myself bersionally I would get the tcss battle blade and get a roll of cellophayne(about 4 foot wide and as long as your blade) and put that in there.

I had a blade like that and I really liked it.

Hasid Lafre where would i get the cellophayne from? and also could u show me how to wire a saber with the acent leds like in the pic i really really wanna do that it makes the saber look more alive more 3D:cool:

well that saber used a latching corbin driver an a Master Replica sound board and I wired the accent led to the sound board sence the led was powered by the corbin driver instead of the mr board as I was using the mr board for sound only.

you can get teh cellophane at most craft stores
