Looks like you're going all out. You appear to have everything there except wire.

Good luck with your build, take your time, and you'll have a great saber when you've finished.

[andyfairall]

Yeah got my wire from a 6 ft HDMI cord, lots of 28 awg wire in there.

Got my hilt parts in today and OMG they are incredible! I will post pics as soon as I can.

There's no feeling like the one you get when you first crack open that box and look at your parts.

[andyfairall]

Tell me about it, Im sad tho because almost all of the electronics are still on order

[andyfairall]

Got all of my parts in. Still waiting on my soldering station to get here. Waiting on new chassis disks, there was a mix up and I got sent the wrong ones, Tim is sending out new ones on Mon. Hopefully I can start putting it all together next weekend.
