Just in time for Celebration, I finished my Obi Wan inspired MHS hilt. There is already a build big thread if want to see the tedious parts.


Obi Gladius

BH 24

3" extension
3/4" extension
MHS Gear
Control box 7

Red circuit card

NBV3 (with aftermarket fonts)
Tactile switch with custom brass head

Crystal Chamber was build from:

Herkimer quartz crystal with inclusions

Weathering was done with Aluminum Black and some light Dremel work. My first chamber and first partial reveal. Definitely more challenging!

Well done.

Thank you! I think weathering is my strong suit, as wiring still has a ways to go...

Thank you. The simplicity comes more from my limitations in tooling. I think the vintage watch parts added just enough to keep it from being boring.

Like the crystal chamber and use of a real quartz crystal. If I ever build another saber I will make room for that.
