ROTS Anakin converted with Tims kit and Amber LED. I'll probably swap the LED for Royal Blue here really soon.
The circles were made black by a Sharpie, and I used Electrical tape on the emitter, but it doesn't look too bad.

Luke EpVI converted for a customer. No custom electronics (first time for me :wink: ) just the green lux III in direct drive thru the MR board. Custom machined "hero" emitter, copper kit upgrade. This is a practice / spare saber for a customer.

Anakin MR Fx to luxeon conversion. Blue Lux III, Crystal Focus electronics, 4 AA nimh 2500 mAh batt pack. Recharge port just behind the pommel, with easy access to SD card. Custom machined blade mount. I actually made 2 sabers. One with in-the-hilt sound, the other with switchable in-the-hilt or wireless sound, just by changing the a part of the pommel. The blaster blocking aux button (or blade lockup) was integrated in the activator PCB. Works for left or right handed Jedis :roll: . Stock MR switch was used. Next to it, a little hole to see the low batt LED hidden in the activator.

This is my modified Anakin ROTS. The stock copper buttons and bezels have been replaced with The red buttons from a Luke ESB FX (Compliments of Xwingband). Bunny ears have been removed and a TCSS Conversion kit with a green Lux III was used. It currently has Thick-Walled Ultrablade.
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...ddamage026.jpg
The red button cap is not present on this one because I had to re-tap the blade holder to hold an 8-32 socket head cap screw. It kind of looks like a hybrid "Glass eye" now

Here is my Red Mace Windu Luxeon conversion. I got the kit last night and had the saber up and running within 3 hours. I have cellophane wrap in the blade, but no diffuser film yet. I'll add that later and it might make the lighting more even.
Note, I removed the rubber strips from the grip. They just make that saber too thick IMO. Next to my new Red Windu is a Luke Skywalker MR.

Well I finally got round to finishing of all my MR conversions so here they are. Because there are so many pic I’ve put each one in a different post.
Darth Vader ESB
My first ever MR conversion. I got the hilt from one of the scratch and dent auctions at the start of the year and bought the conversion kit at the same time. Red 3w luxeon with a TCSS blade.
Wasn’t too bad to convert, the only problem was the tiny little pin that holds the bigger pin in the activation box. I was messing with it for about an hour before it came out.
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1425/vader1ci5.jpg
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1733/vader2ah5.jpg
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1526/vader3lc3.jpg
This started out as a Vader ESB but I converted it into an Anakin AOTC style. Chrome shroud, vader coversion kit, Royal blue 3w luxeon and stoke MR blade.
This was just a total &*@*$% to convert. First the small pin wouldn’t come out, I ended up having to cut it to remove the bigger pin. Next I couldn’t get the blade and electronics out the hilt, they got stuck and I spent several hours hitting it of the ground to get it out. I ended up using some WD40. (I don’t know if you have it in the states but it’s a multi-purpose spray that cleans, protects, penetrates, lubricates and displaces moisture. Wow, starting to sound like an advert here. Anyway.) That worked and it all just slipped out. After that everything was taken apart, soldered and put back together within an hour.
For the chrome shroud I had to file down both the inside of the shroud and the outside if the hilt for it to fit. I got it to the point where it was just going on and no more. I put it on and had to hit it to get it on properly, so I smacked it a couple of times on the ground and got it in place but it cracked! I couldn’t believe it. I doubt it will come of now so it will just have to stay on there. You can see it in the pics.
The other conversions where much easier and I got the rest all done in 2 days.

Anakin ROTS
Got his done in an hour or so. Anakin conversion kit with Royal blue 3w luxeon and stock MR blade. It also has the Graflex button thumbscrew from the store but I replaced the red part with the copper part from the original Anakin button. It makes it look more stock.

Mace Windu
Mace Windu conversion kit with Seoul P4 white + lee filter and stock MR blade. Wired up just like the tutorial says. This is the best looking purple blade I’ve got, I have both a 3w and a K2 and neither of them compare. I also drilled through the rest of the holes in the emmiter, I think this makes it look better. The light comes through them.

http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/2474/maul2ly2.jpg
Luke ROTJ
I didn’t convert this one, I bought it off Ultra just over a year ago. Luke ROTJ with green 3w luxeon and stock MR blade.
http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/8094/luke1ox1.jpg
http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5852/luke2hm8.jpg
Well thats all my conversions for now. I still have a blade-less Luke ESB thats needing converting but it will be next year before that happens.
This is my Mace Windu. Green Luxon conversion and a machined convertech clip. The switch cover I left off, because I like the recessed switch. The rubber of the handle was also shaved down for easier spins.

This one was one of TIm's work..yes the Master himself did it. Look at all the details, It didn't have a scratch at all. He used a Lux III Blue and some parabolic collimator (I think that it come from a flashlight)

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/3073/dsc00265ma7.jpg
Ok some more MR conversations for you.
First an Anakin ROTS with a little difference. This is how I think Anakin’s saber would have looked like if he had beaten Obi Wan on Mustafar. He would have replaced the blue crystal with a red one and probably done a bit of cosmetic changes to make it look more darker/sith like.
So here it is, TCSS MR Anakin blade holder with a red 3w luxeon. I painted the center band black and weathered the gold parts on the control box.
