Atomic

Greetings all!
My name is Atomic and I hail from Chicago. I've been lurking and PMing here for a while :)
I just got into lightsabers after seeing some MRs brought to airsofting events and played with for fun when it got dark. It got a bunch of us thinking and this summer we're going to be planning some night games where lightsabers will come into play for "real".
I started my collection with an Ultrasabers stunt, added a second and then moved on to TCSS. My first saber is built and is just waiting customization. It's got a white P4 in it which I'm going to overdrive a little so I can run color filters as bright as possible. It's going to have a custom rubber grip (made from heat shrink) and with luck, a light up crystal that you can see in the pommel. It's also got some custom copper paint work (Testors and Citadel).
Overall, I'm thrilled, but the saber feels a little large for me. When it's done, it might end up on Ebay to fund #2 which will have a 1 1/4" sinktube (with adapters on both ends) to make the grip a little easier to hold.
But seriously, who am I kidding? I know I'll end up owning a half dozen sabers by the end of the year :)
It's good to meet you all. You have been very helpful.
