Ok, so I made some design changes. The length of the hilt was just too short/fat for a dueler. And with just a couple of modifications it took on a whole new feel. Proportions and balance are much improved. Speaker has a good resonance chamber in the choke.
I really wanted to add some brass for contrast. So I cut and stripped some sink tube and etched the reveal section of the MHS under body.

I also installed the chrome power switch and recharge port. Then I added a final trim panel to the top.

Swings like a dream. Very happy with the direction it took. Its funny how weapons really do take on a personality of their own....
