My first conversions
Interesting that my first conversions were these two sabers. I originally bought these sabers on clearance at a local store almost two years ago. I got them for their soundboards, gutted them, put the boards in my custom projects and put the empties on my shelf. Now, being summer and bored I was looking around at my spare parts and realized I had enough to re-make these sabers into conversions. So I got the kits and boom!

I hope it's okay to bump this because this is my first saber project and it's finally done!! I left the holes that aren't for the blade retention screw unfilled because I love the light shining through.

I think I'm the only one in this thread with a green bladed Anakin saber. I love that.
