    Smile It's alive, ALIVE!!

    My very first MHS saber that is.

    First off, I have to admit that I didn't build it myself , but it will serve as an excellent introduction for me in to the complex world of saber building (my next one will be home built though). Right, details...

    It's made entirely of MHS parts, a red Luxeon III, 4 x AAA battery pack, and uses a Vader FX board. It was built by those very helpful people at JQ Lightsabers (a UK retailer!) and only took about 2 weeks from inception to delivery. Top service .

    I think I'll call it "The Initiator". Partly because it's my first saber, and partly because I imagine the one who wields this to be something of a troublemaker .



    The Initiator alongside my Luke ANH MasterFX saber (yes, I broke the clamp off ) and my UltraSabers converted Joe Jedi.





    Easily converted by removing the empty grip extension piece (trust me, within an hour of it arriving I had gone through every possible permutation of parts ).





    A quick blade comparison. This photo was taken in a daylight-lit room, with no flash. The Lux III dominates the other two blades. I think I'll have to get my Luke ANH converted...


    So just to finish off, I have to say thanks again to Daren at JQ Lightsabers for his assistance and for building the saber. It'll probably be the first of many .

    Hey, I like it, itīs a nice hilt SWAT. I think it doesnīt matter if you didnīt build it yourself, because it could be a terrific stepping stone for future projects, right?

    Again, very good one SWAT, congratulations

    To be honest, I couldn't really visualise how big it would be when I was designing it, and it turned out to be a wee bit bigger than I thought . Truth be told though I prefer it this way, it has a much more substantial feel to it.

    Great looking hilt there SWAT, though i'd call is something more profoundly British than the 'Initiator'. Maybe 'The Sh#tstirrer.

    Or is that just a London thing..... LOL!!!
