Congrats on the new forum.

Here's an update to my collection. Added a bit of a switch "guard" to my mhs (I kept turning it off accidentally) and fabbed up a youngling saber for the cut off end of polyC I had left over (used the obi-wan/kenner guts less the force feedback motor)

These aren't finished, but I've been wanting to post pictures of them ever since I got them a couple months ago. The Anakin is currently Amber, originally converted by Ultrasabers, then sold to me by a member of this forum, then upgraded with Tim's kit and the Amber LED.

The white sabers where made by RLSA Sabers - quality of work (assembly mostly) leaves a little to be desired, but at least they look good. I plan to get electronics for them soon, I'll probably start buying parts here and there as I can afford it - I intend Amber LEDs for them and sound. I need to figure out how to install the LED heatsink, because there's really no way to hold it in right now, and the grip is actually really thin aluminum, it worries me, so I'm thinking of reinforcing it with an aluminum tube inside, and that should also provide the means to hold the heatsink, but I'm not sure yet. Then, if I could only round up stormtrooper armor...

if stormtroopers carried lightsabers, i believe you have the regulation issue ones, there. never seen a white saber before! those look cool as hell!

Yeah, they're not too bad. I'd really like one (or two) like the one that was featured on thelightsaber.com, as seen here:




but the ones I have will suffice for now.

Hi guys, this is my progress so far on my Ki-adi Mundi saber.

A little background, I saw this el ready saber on ebay and I knew that with a little work I could have a great looking LED lightsaber.

I bought corbin's board, an MR sound board, and a battery pack w/ charger. Then to my horror, the saber had huge bottlenecks that I grinded out however the grip section only has a 1/2 inch hole for wires and i didn't want to take a chance by drilling it. So now the only thing that fits is the battery pack. Oh well... at least I have a reason to make another lightsaber...

The brass button sits on a 6mm square push putton switch and I have it set up so that if you bump it during dueling it won't flicker the LED. There is an internal recharge port because I didn't want to drill a hole in a movie accurate saber. All of the sections unscrew allowing easy access to the components. And time will tell if my homemade heatsink is pulling enough heat away.

I have a blue high current luxeon K2 in the saber but I'm not happy with the color, I will be changing it to a royal blue color, more like the ones in episode 3. Overall though I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Thanks!

I've been meaning to get/make a lightsaber for years, but it all became a reality when I stumbled across a link to CSS at (of all places) Arnies airsoft forum.

Now I'm hooked.
