The mask I made for my Sith Lord Darth Malefica was based on the Darth Nihilis mask but I wanted it to be different. the subtle differences in my initial version were not enough that people didn't...

For those concerned about space for wiring my saber here are a couple shots of my wiring ready to install the CF and CEX boards. Leads with a yellow quick tie are for the batteries, red is the high...

Very nice work! Great job fabricating the helmet back and integrating it all so seamlessly.

Thanks guys =)

I wanted to add a few interesting details on the chassis so I did a bit of engraving with a hammer and chisel...

nice work on the saber. And I love the video!. You have
a great padawan there =)

Here are a few shots of me in my nearly finished Darth Malefica (my own Sith Lord character) costume. It is mostly black leather with a wool cloak, though I still have a wool robe I plan to make...

I just posted some photos in the stickied costume thread of me in my Sith Lord costume. My partner shot them for me today on our way back home to the bay area from the Northern reaches of California.

Johannes,

Definitely some good thoughts there, thanks. Though I actually took most of this into account in my basic design.

The reason the tactile switches are mounted on the wooden ring is...

Thanks =)

I added a greeblie between the wiring conduits on the hilt as well as a trans-illuminated 4 segment power level indicator on the lower grip area. Also made a few tweaks to the crystal chamber to...

I guess we'll see soon.

Maybe I should call you Sancho Panza =P

So I damaged one of the chassis supports while working on it and then decided to redesign the chassis completely using an aluminum tube. Here's what I have so far including a quick and dirty test of...

Thanks for the positive feedback and for the advice Johannes =)

The fluted extension is 4" long.

I have 56mm from the bottom of the crystal plate to the inside surface of the chassis bottom - the CF board is 51.4mm long. The width of the CF board is 23.5mm...

It's a tight fit but I'll be able to fit a crystal focus card and color extender below the crystal chamber, a pair of 18500 batteries in the choke and a standard speaker with a bit of space for a...

I decided to go ahead and post a WIP photo of the work I'm doing on the internals. The second photo shows it assembled with the kill plug installed.

Thanks for the kind words. The long choke is a perfect fit for my hand and I love the feel of the extension piece for a left hand grip... Still fairly small and the fluting gives it a nice positive...

No, I used a jeweler's piercing saw and cut three small channels into the blade holder about 3/16" deep and just wide enough for the three blade parts to fit snugly into. Then I used a rectangular...

Thank you!

Being a woman and not having overly large hands I have always been frustrated with the large grip size of most light sabers I've seen. Also most of the dark themed stuff mostly seems too clunky and...
