This was my Corran Horn saber. After two and a half weeks of ebay, it didn't sell, so I thought I was keeping in. Until a friend offered me some ideas along with an offer (feel free to ID yourself).
Anyway, I was planning on putting some lights and blingy things on it, but once the offer was out, it became his project. After discussing a few ideas, I tried making slots for 5mm LEDs in the 1.25" tube... :oops::x (where's a Mr.Yuk when you need one?) - it didn't work out. So I cut another section of 1.25" (a little longer this time) and sent him some more idea pics before I painted it. Well, it actually looked pretty cool like that so we agreed to leave it. I was able to find a few 3mm LEDs around my place and they didn't create near as much arse pain as the bigger ones. So, this is what the final product looks like...
Specs:
- Hilt parts
-- MHS Blade Holder #5
-- MHS Ribbed section
-- Cut down MHS section
-- 1.25" aluminium pipe
-- Custom Pommel
-- Judco Latching (mom, push on/push off) w/brass bezel
-- Mini tactile push-button (long plunger filed down)
- Guts
-- CF V4 (original load)
-- Seoul P4 white (run @ 1A)
-- Rechargeable Li-Ion pack 7.4V (14500 x2)
-- 5mm RGB LED (internal fade curcuit) - PPO
-- 4x 3mm LEDs for bar graph (1 green, 3 red) - LED1-4
Clear coat epoxy baked on - very hard finish!
Okay here's the pics: ;)
