Followed your tutorial Shameem. Great job. I would like to just point out that the glass eye is actually some sort of aluminum or alloy. It feels plastic but i decided to drill it out for a reveal...
Amazing, you didn't waste any time! Great tutorial. Very similar to the HBS ANH Luke.
Haven't posted much on here. Figured i's share my last two builds..

No it doesn't fit. I had the same problem as you. You can however get a dremel with a little barrel sander and open that bezel up a bit to receive the button better. I've seen it done but haven't...
great thanks!
Failed to mention that this will be getting a leather wrap between the trim ring and pommel. Have'nt decided on black or dark brown yet. If anyone knows of an inexpensive US based source for...

the NEW version of the Luke conversion is in stock here. Looks GLORIOUS!!!!
Indeed! I swapped a TCSS MHS pommel with it and both sabers benefit IMO. Also, the US pommel is heavier so it ended up having a real nice balance when the blade is installed.
...
Thx GregTheForce. As it was coming together i just kept seeing a white blade in my mind. Now i can't imagine it with any other color. ;)
Thanks Jediseth. The Copper and brass screws i found on ebay and the bigger steel one is from TCSS. They are all indeed 8-32. i don't have the length for you right now but i believe minimum was 3/8"....
Thx guys. That black piece is actually a part of a tattoo gun :D. I had that one laying around but you can find them pretty easily on ebay or sites like this one
This is my first MHS build and i'm pretty happy over all. Also my first time weathering a saber. Just a basic stunt with a white Cree and 1" battle blade. I made a few mistakes but nothing too...
I will just say it looks great but im not sure if it will hold up long in a duel. I could be wrong tho. I don't really duel with the conversions so I really don't know. Looks accurate tho. I guess it...
well for me personally, i always convert them for a few reasons.
1. i like to be able to get rid of the string blade
2. i like having the option to display the saber with or without the blade
3....
If you duel without a proper metal blade holder you will eventually break it. The conversion kit from TCSS appears to be out of stock ATM. I have seen another conversion kit done to these sabers but...
Hey Chuck, basically there's one positive lead and the rest are negative. you could either bridge all of the negative pads together or you could run individual wires from each pad and and solder them...
There's only one positive lead (in ths case black). the rest would all be bridged as negative. You want it to look something like this Chuck... ...
I just wanted to see if this is correct for most of the newer Black series saber conversions. I know this seems to be correct for the new Luke ANH and Vader but just want to be sure. (photo is...
this looks great man! great job. Question, do you re-use the original blade for your conversions or do you buy new ones?? I just did My 2005 MR Vader and kept the the blade, looks pretty good but...
Thanks darth-chasm. "little camden" haha! i'm up in Gibbsboro/Voorhees area now. Was in Hammonton but moved my family back here about 5 yrs ago. Originally from Lindenwold which REALLY is "little...
Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself. Been lurking for a while and finally decided to join the forum a couple weeks ago. Currently working on 2 MR (2005 vader and Anakin) sabers, and one new HBS...
NooooOOOOOooooo!!! (in Vader voice) :D I was just going to order the blade holder and now it's out of stock. Oh well, thats what i get for waiting. Anyway ordered some parts to convert my '05 MR...
Hey Tim. Not really complaining. You guys do really nice work here. Just more of an observation I guess. I'm most likey going to go ahead and order everything anyway. Just having the metal blade...
