I first read the Dark Horse comics with Nomi Sunrider back in 2001. She quickly became one of my favorite female Jedi.
Her saber, of course, is depicted differently in every comic, like they seem to like to do. It usually seems to have 3 claws, but I always wanted 4, because it seems more Jedi-like to have even numbers. Odd numbers always seemed more Sith-like, to me.
I was going to use a smooth hilt, but as I looked more closely at various depictions, it looked like the bottom of the hilt had some kind of metal vertical grip strips, so I wanted to add that.
I've been waiting for the new claw solution from the Store, but got tired of waiting and decided to use what I could find in the store at the time and I could change it later.
That parts consist of Blade holder #10, a 5" extension with a switch hole drilled in it, bezel nut on the switch, a double male adapter, the extension with the milled slots, and I thought this was the perfect saber to use my pommel #3 V1.
My cheap, crappy camera is terrible when it comes to LED color saturation, so I "played" with that in my also crappy photo editing program, with not really satisfying results, but it at least gives the idea that it's a green blade.
Edit:
I forgot to add that I kept the electronics simple. It's running a Lux 3 green (because I already had it) and a 1000mA buck puck with a 4AAA battery pack.
