My qui inspired saber is finally done (pic heavy)

[Zook]

for the most part. I am going to powder coat the pommel to match the blade holder but will do that later.

Here are the specs
-US2.5
-P4 green
-quarts crystal with two 5mm green LEDs
-2 14500 Li-Ion batteries (with 6V regulator since the new boards don't like that much voltage unless you are running a Lux V)
-recharge port/kill switch

on with the pics

I don't have a nice short stand for just a hilt (will probably invest in one eventually) so if I just want to put it on a stand I either have to put a full blade on or put a stubby blade on.

I wanted close up pics of the hilt and not the blade so I chose the stubby blade. What difference does it make if I put a stubby blade on it or taking a pic of it with a full blade but only getting a few inches of the blade in the pic (since I am focusing on the hilt)? Plus its easier to mess around in the house with it and not break anything.

I absolutely love this saber!! It looks like a "dress" saber Qui-Gon would have had for ceremonies! Very awesome, Great job!

[Sairon]

Very nice saber, I like it.

Well my secret was to contact Amptrooper on FX to have him cut it out. I didnt want to attempt anything like this...dont have the skills.

This is utterly brilliant. The cutout in the Jedi symbol was a genius idea.

Love to have a pic of the crystal chamber.
