Here's an update. Finally this week I received the last two MHS pieces to make it look more like the original concept. Swapped out the main handle and pommel for a 4" Deep fluted double female and a...

Your body type and face are much more accurate to the character than mine are. :)
Great job. You need to tell me how you coloured your hair white.

Thanks J.

Some may know that I am building a Rahm Kota armor costume from The Force Unleashed II. I had originally planned to use the lightsaber from my TFU costume with the new armor, but since it was...

Phil's build lights up too.

p.s. can't view the pix from work, but coming back here later to check them out. :)

I can't believe one of you master sabersmiths hasn't build these yet...

:D

The sound was removed by the customer's (my) request. I did not need sound for the particular application I'll be using this unit for, which is posing for photo-ops and such.

LDM has stated that...

Looks pretty cool, LDM.


Who'd you say it was for again?...


;)

I only tried it once, when I had to give my car a jump in the middle of the night. I couldn't find the old maglight and I always know where I can find a lightsaber. So I grabbed one and popped the...

I like this lightsaber.

Blade holder and ribbed section turned down (shaved to a bit smaller diameter) to accomodate pre-existing cowls.

Blade holder reshaped slightly for visual effect inside emmiter-shroud.

NOTE: If...

First saber build.

Didn't know about wire length.

I can shorten most of the wires - If I ever want to disassemble the bad boy - It's squeezed in rather snug at the moment and seems to be...

I got the new speaker today and plugged it up. Soon as I plugged in the battery pack I got that sweet girl's voice welcoming me to UltraSound two point five! Took a few tries to get all the wires...

Now that I look at it again, I could have used a V-grooved rib section in there. I guess I just thought it would be easier for Strydur to turn down a plain ribbed section. I had to get that piece...

One thing that happened to me after I had the whole saber wired up and was testing it, I thought something was bad too since I got nothing when I hit the switch, no sound no light-up no nothing. But...

Thanks Sempai! :D

There's a group locally that trains Aikido and uses lightsabers for Bokken practice. :D

Yeah I guess you're right, Sid.

I mean what's another twelve bucks on an already-over-three-bills project. :?

Well, I got the battery today (Kant Lavar was kind enough to sell me his extra one) and spent the evening soldering up the connectors. I got it all wired up and went to test it...

nada.

No...

Thanks Pip. It was one of the outer two pads that got torn off. I resoldered the lead to the pad next to it so I should be good to go.

I have to post a clarification and apology.

The "bad recharge jack" issue was not the fault of the TCSS jack. The problem was with the hole that I had tapped. When I screwed the jack into the...

The alignment on the screw-holes is kinda funky, but it fits the whole SP feel.

I like the brushed brass. :)

I checked Tim's catalog and saw that he doesn't sell these, so I hope it's OK to post a good find...

In order to mount a TCSS recharge port jack in the side of a body piece, or another costum...

I'm a huge fan of alternative ergonomic activation schemes, and I applaud this build.

Let the form follow the individual weilder's function. Bravo.

This same principle was applied for Dooku's...

The brass button-heads are a nice touch.
