Where to start lol. H@rry89 gave up on this saber and shipped it my way a few months ago, I can now see why. This thing was a nightmare because of a series issues, especially space... so I gave up trying to install a Li-Ion pack and an US v2. It was due to go back to Harry, but in the end I bought it because I love the Luke v2! So now I think I've got this saber cracked... the key is a 7AAA Barrel pack (Thank you Xwing) which should be with me soon can solve the spacial issue, along side with a new 4" section (Ready for fresh weathering yummy :cool:) this thing is good to go! (Thanks for selling it Harry!)

Hilt:
MHS Style 5 blade holder
MHS Luke ROTJ Movie accurate Ribbed/Neck combo

Modified MPS style 3 v2 pommel w/ D-Ring (Modified by MadCow)
MPS Insert 1
Custom SUPER compact MHS Chassis as designed by Maverick and Me :cool:
Frosted white blade tube from Tim (Will use an Erv' style set up inside)
Movie accurate clampstrip

Weathered 1.5" Sink tube to mount the clamp on

Oh boy so so I! Just waiting on the battery pack and get the CF fixed (Hopefully flashed to v4.2!) And I'm away :cool:

I second that, its a great and sturdy combo section, plus its movie accurate! :cool: Might be worth adding to the wish list

Malaki, I am glad to see that you are getting down to it on that saber! I know it was a big stressor for H@rry! I look forward to seeing it revived.;)

Thanks LDM! If I play my cards right, hopefully it will be a blinged out saber! :cool:

Thanks for the comments guys! Just a little update, the bottom half (Past the Graflex Clamp) Is now weathered and sealed in with clear coat:

Just gotta cut the sink tube to size, remove the tabs inside the Clamp and the cosmetics are done! :cool:

OK, update time! Serious change around here, due to a few financial problems (New car, Black Labrador puppy, Insurance for BOTH and College equipment lol) I've had to do a few changes, its no longer a CF saber, its getting a Makotosai V3 blade setup (Which is so bright!!) with SuperONE V2

Still, the hilts finished, just installing the electronics. This is going to get a new owner very shortly and it will be worth it! ;)
