It's a red rebel. Didn't realize I needed a resistor for the NB. A 2ohm resistor would suffice?

Buck puck in the mix would solve this problem?

Yep it's the LED. Thanks Ob1. Should I try a P4 instead of the rebel star?

I have a TCSS smart charger and a tenergy charger both purchased at TCSS, and the chargers were both plugged in before contact with the saber. If I replace the kill and pull it I get the same result....

both chargers register a full charge.

I have an MWS NBV2 setup with a recharge port, mom switch, 18650 battery pack. Saber boots after the kill is removed, mom switch ignites the saber for 1-2 seconds then dies. It worked fine BEFORE I...

I had thought about that, but I like the fusion of organic and metallic look. That said, I may look into doing a smaller strictly organic saber. Perhaps even connect some accents and not bother to...

Great looking saber, the Dark Side is strong with you.

Thank you, it was a really fun one to do. I think I'll make a companion for it.

Great job on that belt, btw... :)

Adding dry pigment is a great idea. I'm still learning about sculpting so any added info is really helpful. Also the water brush mentioned before. To smooth out the fingerprints, adding that to the...

Made with Magic Sculpt, rebel star, MRFX Darth Maul soundboard, MHS sinktube adapters, Kirby vacuum wand, and MHS pommel and emitter.

The resin should cure within 3-4 hours prior to painting. start with the black wash, apply it liberally all over the resin paying attention to the cracks and recesses.

After it dries,...

Now just add to the sculpt until you get the desired look. The epoxy is really sticky at first, but as it cures it becomes much more manageable.

After it cures, its time to paint....

1. Magic Sculpt epoxy resin mix
2. any MHS part (in this tutorial a basic pommel)
3. painters tape
4. 8-32 screw
5.Citadel paint and wash
6.x2 small brushes (wash+drybrush)
7. Latex gloves

I hadn't thought of that, thanks for the tip! As soon as I finish this build I'll post a tutorial.

Thanks, I have a background in model painting, Warhammer 40k, Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. I basically took what I know about that and applied it to my resin sculpt. It was a ton of fun and won't...

I dig what you're saying Fender, and I agree that US probably shouldn't be making MHS parts, but as I said they have one option Tim hasn't yet offered: two styles of loose claw to fix to any emitter....

Staining and drybrushing the epoxy, getting ready to seal it with Testors Flat enamel. Plotting my wrappings too. Hoping to have a finished saber by next week.

I understand why this is a rule, you guys are looking to protect your business and hobby that you all helped shape. I have had these forums set me straight a few times too. Jedi Loreen was one of...

I have sifted through Ultrasabers and the claws they have for sale are the ONLY thing that they have in stock that Tim doesn't. I say, buy those claws you want and attach em to the MHS emitter you...

The sculpt is permanent and pretty tough, so I'll be taping off the between bits of metal and paint it to look like bone. Then I will wrap the bend and the sound/battery chamber in a faux leather. It...

The saber so far is a two part epoxy resin (Magic Sculpt) over an old vacuum wand. I added two MHS sink tube adapters, double female threaded section, pommel and sculpted over the...

We use clamps like that in the tattoo industry. Pulse International uses them on the tube vices of the machines they sell. And yes it is reinventing the wheel because literally EVERYONE else uses a...

Cool, thanks. I couldn't have done it without you.:roll:
