Sorry I had too...
I can't see it :confused:
At last I found the time to work on the Mediator.
First I drafted the shapes of the overlay and taped in on the tube so I had an orientation when cutting it.

After that I spent some time in sanding the edgings. Then I drilled holes for the switches.
I thought the powdercoating could be a problem but I only had to abrade the inner surface of the overlay for a few seconds with a dremel and voila – it worked.

Now I cut the other part of the overlay and also abraded it roughly.

At the moment I’m polishing the overlay and I hope I will finish this soon. The last step to complete the hilt would be the LED mountings for the switches.
I just finished the hilt. The only thing which was missing was to glue in the led-mountings for the switches. Therefor I abraded two 5mm LEDs and cut the LED-mounts.
This is the result:

I hope to finish the saber by the end of January. I was able to get a CF so it shouldn’t take too long to bring this to an end.
Another thought I made is to rebuild the full chassis. Since Tim offers the chassis disks there are so many unimagined possibilities …
Nice work! Clean and elegant... I like the LED mounts.
Looking very nice. Great lines on the shroudwork. I'm curious though, are those LED mounts intended to illuminate, or are they just decorative covers for the switches? If they do illuminate, I'd love to know how you're doing it.
Unti now I didn't find a method to lighten up the LEDs so I think they will just stay decorative caps for the switch.Quote:

After a long time I finally got my CFs (damn, so small). I hope I can finish the saber soon.

I just need a li-ion now - and a new soldering iron. Mine is disused.
