Thread: MHS Mara Jade ALMOST DONE

  1. #1

    Default MHS Mara Jade COMPLETED

    Well...I almost have her finished. I say almost because the most tedious task still remains....those pesky grips. BUT...the rest of her is done.

    I finally finished the switch assembly last night and thought I would post a few pics. I'll post a final version in the gallery once the grips are on. Please note final cleanup and polishing hasn't been done yet

    She'll be run off of a MR FX board with a Red Lux III.

    All the parts are MHS except for the activation box, which is Parks.

    Cheers.

    Being so great, the owner of these wonderful forums and attached shop has filmed how to build an MHS hilt, here's the link:

    Thanks BR

    I am actually making this one for my wife. She said of all the saber designs, this version of the Mara Jade looked the most "H.R. Giger-ish" to her.....so I figured I had to make it for her :P

    Did you put O Rings in the grooves in the hilt, or paint them?

    Thanks guys...I appreciate the comments

    Maul: It's enamel paint. The biggest pain with that one was masking all those rings properly and then doing cleanup of the overspray / seepage a day later with acetone and about a bazillion q-tips....but I like the way it turned out so I guess it was worth it.

    Giger-ish... Odd... I don't see any naked female alien genitalia anywhere on that lightsaber... Anyway I have a question. How tall is that control box?

    LOL.....I agree.....but, her words not mine...I've stopped trying to understand and just go with it.

    Control box is 3/4th of an inch. For the total height, add another 1/10th of an inch for the bottom sleeve, which is a halved MHS sink tube adapter.
