    Default Construction Kit Cosmetic Mods

    Hey there!

    Yesterday i happened to stumble on a bargain at work (I work for Toys R Us). They where selling two MR Construction kits at £20 each (roughly $32) so naturally i bought them.

    The reason they where so cheap was because they where missing a few parts like the stands etc and one wasn't operating (a wire had been separated from the circuit, i just had to solder it carefully back on) and was being sold for parts.

    So i thought, instead of having doubles of all my parts, i may as well try and modify them cosmetically to look different.

    In the end this is what i came up with, i think it has a kind of a Qu Rahn saber look to it.

    PLEASE note that this is an hours work and is still a work in progress, realistically, i just wanted to see how it would turn out. Im going to most likely sand them down and spray them to get a nicer finish.
    And please forgive the low quality photos, i took them on my phone because i cant find my lumix

    Ignore the bit of tape on the pommel, neighbors where giving off about my friends and i having a 1am duel lol
    Thoughts on the outcome?
    And if anyone else has done this, got any tips?

    Thanks!
    Steve

    Your "right" and "left" hand views are the same pic.
