Solar Flat Black with C1S2 option on choke, and SH22 on main body.

The cheapie Hasbro sound card I have runs on 3 batteries. That's 4.5 volts. It is possible that the board is designed to only handle 5 volts, so the 6 volts may have fried the sound chip. You...
Yup, FenderBender is right. I used a 5" extension as the main body for this saber:

Wow! That's impressive. And I will go ahead and use the MR board to power the luxeon.
Are those red o-rings? If so, did you do anything special to the grooves to help them stay put (that is,...
I can at least get a quote on the custom machining, but I'm not too worried about the o-rings staying put. I have a saber with a type 4 main body that I put o-rings on. With the alternating wide...
OK.
It will definitely be flat black. Everyone has been voting for it, but the clincher was Jedi-Loreen and Sairon's comments on scratches on the glossy powdercoat.
Thanks, everyone.

While style 3 is my favorite choke (I used it in my first MHS build), I don't feel it works in this design. What I like about this one is that all the size transitions (front of emitter, choke,...
Thanks so much for the help! ;-)
OK, that's two votes against shiny right away. I hadn't thought about the issue of scratching. The obvious reason to use powdercoat rather than a more ordinary paint is that it is tougher than...
This MHS design uses the 'normal' length for choke style 1:

I just got a (used) MR sound board (Vader), so I'm eager to build a Sith saber:

If the US 2.1 boards ever come into stock ;) I may add sound (I built it for dueling; you don't really have time to listen to the sounds...) but the problem is fitting the speaker. The speaker...

I just got it assembled yesterday, and it does still need work. It needs polishing at a minimum, and I'm going to do something with the grooves in the grip eventually.
If I can locate some rubber...

The 'main body' is actually a 5" ribbed extension; the switch (guarded) is in the pommel. I really like the combination of the number 11 blade holder and the number 3 choke section. Royal blue lux...
