Hi,
finished my first saber build two days ago and I wanted to share some pictures.
MHS parts with Nano Biscotte v2 and P4 LED.

My MHS saber hilt. Ran into an issue with the original choke I purchased, so it is not on this hilt. Will reuse with a different project.

I think it looks great without the choke! The design looks like something I would prefer. Any build log?

Not much really. Just MHS Emitter and Pommel (added D-Ring), removed the covertech, and the main body and electronics done by the other "guys".

I added some #17 O-Rings on the threads to make a nice tight seal. Very simplistic since I would probably butcher the electronics.

@rich. Yeah I actually like that design without a choke point. Makes the shroud more stream lined. I really like the design.

Thanks! One day, I'll get enough courage to do an full build on my own hopefully.

I weatherized my saber to give it more of a used look. Simple technique of using a grill lighter for scorch marks, lightly dry brushed using flat black and silver metallic. Rubbed it down with a soft rag, then clear coat.

So I finished my first Lightsaber today. Here is how it turned out =D

Here is what I came up with on the MHS builder:



And here it is realized:



This thing is huge! And that is exactly what I was going for, I wanted a two handed saber that was front heavy enough to still spin... Here is a picture next to a 12" ruler for scale.






This bit was tricky... I didn't realize how hard it would be to drill a hole through a piece of brass... Lol
