Introducing: Obi Gladius

Just in time for Celebration, I finished my Obi Wan inspired MHS hilt. There is already a build big thread if want to see the tedious parts.


Obi Gladius

MHS Hilt:
BH 24
Solid brass Choke #2
3" extension
3/4" extension
MHS Gear
Control box 7
Pommel 10
MPS 12 (w/ D-ring)
Red circuit card

NBV3 (with aftermarket fonts)
Tactile switch with custom brass head
18500

Blue/Royal Blue/Deep Red (DR FOC)
Blue 5W CC LED

Customized blade plug with Photon

Crystal Chamber was build from:

Herkimer quartz crystal with inclusions
Brass fins
Brass plumbing seats
Old watch parts
Modified MHS discs
Turned down brass nuts

Weathering was done with Aluminum Black and some light Dremel work. My first chamber and first partial reveal. Definitely more challenging!

Been watching this one come together, very nice work. Great weathering, just like that first one.
Well done.

Thank you! I think weathering is my strong suit, as wiring still has a ways to go...

Thank you. The simplicity comes more from my limitations in tooling. I think the vintage watch parts added just enough to keep it from being boring.

Like the crystal chamber and use of a real quartz crystal. If I ever build another saber I will make room for that.
