    Tim sells replica MPP flash kits, or you could just upgrade your Master Replicas with an LED blade holder. Whatever you decide to do, take some time to read the forums and look through the store, because we usually eat new builders alive for posting questions like this. Welcome to the forums.

    whoa...
    <ducks head under cover and grabs helmet>

    So let me get this straight - you want to make a Vader saber out of the MHS parts? Why not just look in the store and use the saber builder to guide you?

    Also, ease off on the attitude... you're about to get major flammage...

    I'm sure you already know what the saber looks like but just in case, http://www.sitharchives.com may help you.

    The hardest part about the Vader is that there's no real good way to get the emitter *just right*.
    The parts list I came up with off the top of my head are:
    1) screw on LED blade holder style 12
    2) MPP clamp
    3) MPS Pommel style 2
    4) custom formed rubber grip set
    5) 8 inch (?) double female threaded connector

    This is just for the Hilt itself mind you. You still have to source the electronics and decide what you want to do about sound.
    In the end, though, the advice many people are going to give you is read a lot of the threads here and then search and read some more.

    Yeah, I'd like to give you a few choice words for that comment, but there are kids here so I will watch my language.

    First off, you can't make a REPLICA vader using MHS parts. You can make a vader using an old camera flash handle, but this isn't really the forum for that. I gave you the link for the only Vader part that Tim sells, so that should have been pretty helpful. Aside from that, like Cannibal pointed out, you're pretty much just going to have to decide which parts look the most like what you want, and since we can safely assume that you have SEEN a vader saber before, we shouldn't have to hold your hand. Now if you want to belly itch and moan that MY reply wasn't very helpful, I'd like to point out that you were LUCKY to only merely be IGNORED by the older members here. Many new members would have been horsewhipped for asking a question like that in their first post, and your attitude has opened the door for that again.

    Next time you ask a question and someone answers you, thank them and move on.

    Wow, one of the most ungrateful posts I've seen in a while.
