Well,
Here's what I have so far.
Ohh...If someone can tell me how to attach the pic right in my post wwithout having to make it an attachment I would greatly appreciate it.
I hope to get this complete within the next 2 weeks or so. I still need to get Corbin's board to I can get rid of the annoying FOC blinking and so I can have the power up/power down effect.
I also need to get a blade (1" thin walled) and maybe the universal charger for the battery pack that I made (4-cell, 4.8V)
I just have to get the time to sit down and get it done but I'm a perfectionist and it has to be perfect. I also need to make a red switch that I will have to make that from scratch. I need to get my hands on a small piece of red poly or lexan.
Left to do:
1. Make the heatsink out of the copper washers so it fits inside the slight curve of the hilt.
2. Drill and mount the 3W red LED to the heatsink.
3. Finish sanding the PVC pommel part so the diamond grips sit flush and also paint it the metallic/gold color.
4. Make the handle mount with the correct grooves and cutouts for the grips.
5. Sand the bottom blade brace so it sits flush with the angle of the hilt.
6. Modify the pommel for the grooves, pre and chrome paint the pommel end and cap the top.
7. Make the pomell brace and sand it so it sits flush inside the pomell grooves.
8. Finish sanding the brass accent pieces.
I'm sure there's more but that's what I can think of right now. My wife is ready to kill me with the amount of time and $$ that I have put into this but I enjoy doing it.
I'm still debating whether to sell it on eBay but man have I sunk alot of time into this to let it go, it will be a tough call.
I'll keep the pics coming if anyone has an interest.
