Finally finished this one.
This is a gift for a friend of my 6 yr old daughter who is a huge Ahsoka fan.
It's not perfect, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. Getting straight lines cut using only a dremel is tough and you can see some imperfections and some scratches here and there. Nothing that a 6 year old won't be adding to after a day or 2 of playing with it.
I had considered modding some MHS parts to create the pommel, but decided to stick with the plastic part from my son's old toy Disney saber. I did some cutting, bonded to a sink tube cap and re-painted it. Does not match the chrome exactly but close enough. Except for the activation box, gold momentary switch, covertec and the bezels, this is all sink tube and hardware parts. I also used an old MR blade holder and blade I had sitting around. LED is a green Rebel and sound is the hasbro DVD Obi Wan board using the TCSS speaker. It sounds really nice in that fat pommel. All powered by 4 AAA.
Will be delivering it to the little girl tonight. Hope she likes it and hope it stands up to abuse by a 6 year old!
Sorry some of these pics are so blurry.
I made a little blade plug out of the plastic blade from the hasbro toy.
