Mhs #1!

So some may have seen the original version of this but here is the new one.I changed the design,mainly cause I went to Ryu's house and saw his new mhs saber with the switch at the top.The batt pack in my saber was at the middle of the hilt and and its kinda hard to unscrew the parts there,the bottom of the saber had the led holders and the switch so the batt pack wouldnt fit,but now I changed it so the led holders and switch will be at the very top right behind the emitter so its not in the way and I can have the batteries at the bottom.I'm going to get a sound board,an mr darth maul one.So here is the new design and pics of the emty hilt re-configured with the switch and led holders.The leds in the holders are just duds,I pulled them out of a circuit board so the contacts are too short to solder.I just switched the parts around,flipped them and changed the eyes of the emitter cut-out to graflex eyes,tell me which one you like better.Where should the shroud be?

And here are pics of the hilt with the shroud at the bottom.Now remember the shroud isnt fully done I still gotta smooth it and cut the ends off all the way.

I love the placement of your accent LEDs!

I think the shroud looks great over the ribbed grips. But I think that that makes the middle of the saber look a bit plain and empty....maybe you could put a few rings in it with a pipe-cutter, like Jaygonn (at least, I think it's him) does with sinktubes?

I want to get some aluminum pipe as thick as the mhs for the shrouds but right now its sink tubes.So we'll see when they are done.
