I finally got my Leia finished. I posted pics a while back on FX-sabers forums but didnt here. I powdercoated it super wet black.
here is a list of things done to it.
1. US 2.1 added
2. 4 Li-Ion batteries in a series/parallel circuit (with 7.4V PC) for longer run time
3. accent LEDs...one for power indicator and the other for blade activation.
4. redid the pommel to use a recharge port (got the idea from Jango Fett)
5. added a tactile switch that is pretty much flush (but radius the hole to allow for easy pushing) and is in the perfect location for my pinky to activate the saber.
Here is a vid of it.
on with the pics...
