Hello everyone,
I have to apologize as I'm not really new, as I've been reading and stalking the forum for years, but never joined or posted.
Well, I've corrected that and in true Newb fashion, I need help.
I recently got my hands on a Heiland flash and I'm looking to make my first saber. I know it might be a bit ambitious as a first build, but I come from a background as a lifelong Artist (Pro & Amateur), Hobbyist, and skilled craftsman experienced with all manner of tools and equipment.
So while this might be my first build of a saber, it is not the first prop I've made, or big project. However, I admit, I do need help.
I've watched this tutorial several times over the years

and feel the electronics portion of the build is well within my skill set.
But when I go through the description to order the parts used in the video I do run across some issues.
The lens holder for instance is no longer provided by TCSS, and instead I see they now sell a single unit that incorporates several parts in one prebuilt product.
Rebel Star LED & MHSV1 Heatsink Module
Will this lens holder included in module fit my Heiland??? (pictured below)
Also, for a blade holder my research has led me to believe that the FX conversion kit for the Vader Saber will work in my Heiland. Any idea if this is true?
Some of the items are also "Out of Stock" such as the NB V2 MWS Header and wiring harness, Lithium battery and charger. I want to order all the parts at once to save on shipping, and get the project done, but I know it drives the veterans crazy when Newbs ask about when "out of stock" items will be restocked.
All I can ask is, whether or not these items go through long periods of being "out" or should I just be patient and check back daily? (Been doing that now for 5 days) or should I try to find the part elsewhere.
The build I'm going for will be using some parts from blastech to complete my Vader build.
Below are some pics of the flash I got. I know its not an MPP, but my research has led me to believe this flash is a good second choice.
Any and all advice would be very appreciated.
And thank you all for your time and attention.
Soule
