    Default Noob Pvc - Sith Samurai Maul inspired - Updated pics Pg.3

    First construction just to work out dimensions etc, is pictured with dooku fx blade, no optics and a cheap 3w red led powered by 3 AAAs. Not bad i believe, will be updated with lux III, 5 degree lens, buckpuck/resistor, and tcss blade. Now i just have to order the stuff but because shipping to Australia is an arm and a leg thought id wait and order alot of bits and pieces for further builds at once to minimize the impact on the hip pocket. Don't have plans for sound in this one but will do the full works with the next one. Anyone know where i can buy sinktubes from in australia?

    I have to say thanks to Jay-Gon Jinn as it was his pvc tutorial that i more or less followed so cheers!!


    handle feels great to grip and yes the blade holder screw will be changed


    Uneven blade illumination - no optics... yet


    Quick pic alongside some of my samurai swords and my tcss converted dooku


    pommel pic and if you concentrate really hard you can see the little black tactile switch in the centre
    pommel cap is a gear from a nitro rc car... old spares put to use

    yeah i wont be changing the blade holder but the screw/nut itself... i want a metal "gear" instead of a plastic one just have to drill one out tap it and loctite a grub screw into it....

    cheers for all the supportive comments people makes building these things all the more satisfying.
