I was looking at those -- seems like a very cool idea but also a fair amount of wiring no?

Been busy with other things the last few weeks so I haven't made any progress on any of my saber projects -- probably going to be stagnant for another week or so.

I'll update with some pics when I...

I guess my rational was I imagined this being a reverse-grip saber and since the activator in this case in in the clamp or box (whatever it's called) I put it on the bottom which in the reverse-grip...

I've been thinking exactly the same thing -- it looks like a fit.

OH SNAP! I walked right into that one!!! ROFLMAO!

Up the Irons guys!

HUGE fan myself for well over 20 years. Been to I can't remember how many Maiden concerts -- and some of the ones I can remember I don't remember so well either ;)

As for...

That looks really SWEET!

For mine (this time) I used the Pig putty and Dremel sanded it back. It sets up really quick so 20 minutes or so after my post the part was already ready :) Certainly...

I got the couple of parts I ordered from Parks including the "clamp" for this project. I'm pretty happy with it although (as expected) the ID of the clamp is larger than needed and even a bit larger...

AHHHHH! Get out of my head! ;) LOL

Been working on a design almost exactly like that -- kind of a closed up Starkiller.

REALLY love the saber. Very nice.

I was kinda thinking that as well -- avoiding the headache I mean. Ironically I just bought a load of Cree LEDs in pretty much every color but no purple ones. 2 UV ones though (let's not even get...

Laugh it up fuzzball :p

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. It's not like I hadn't heard of Mara Jade either! My addled brain just failed to make the clever connection -- though in my defense I'd never...

I wasn't exactly sure what you were referring to as "grips" -- so I've added a complete parts list --I figured you probably meant the O-Rings but I also used pieces of the 6 piece rubber grip set to...

:( I think my Star Wars geek cred just dropped about 100 points -- LOL

On the bright side, at least I copied something canonical :grin:

This is the 4th hilt I decided to build but the second completed.

This one I can't take credit for the design though. I saw a hilt called "Jaded" over at Parks and I really liked the basic design...

Got the part from Parks a couple of days ago (finally).

I totally agree. This will be a for show piece unless on the outside change it all ends up much stronger than I expect I guess.

I hadn't thought about acrylic for the center section. I'll have...

Thanks much for the feedback :)

I've already had a few emails with Tim about adapting a choke style 2 piece into an adaptor for me -- I had been waiting on the radiator piece to arrive so I could...

Hey everyone this is the early design of the 3rd hilt I'm working on -- "Chimera"

I also have a 4th hilt in the works... Oddly the 4th hilt will be complete before my 2nd and 3rd designed builds...

Thanks :) I guess the switch box position is relative -- When I did the horizontal shots of the hilt -- and the original concept image -- I wasn't really meaning that to be the bottom as you'd hold...

Oh why do I even bother? <-- A rhetorical question just so ya know.

Hey those look really great! Nice job. I like how you used some of the natural "features" of some of the PVC parts to enhance the look of the hilts.

Yeah, me too. Perhaps THAT'S where _I_ went astray.

You really do have to had it to those prop guys :)

As I said to you before, you MUST be right. I'm done debating this with you. You obviously see certain flaws in my logic that I can say nothing for you to be able to put aside -- suspend your...

Thanks but I'm afraid it's now too late the money has been spent and orders are being prepared :eek:

I also very much appreciate your well thought out take on what's now become my white whale --...
