Machinimax's First Luxeon Conversion - MR Anakin ROTS
« on: October 26, 2012, 05:46:54 PM »
My latest project off of the bench: converting my MR Anakin ROTS saber to a luxeon.

This was of course done using a TCSS Ani conversion kit. The stock pins have been replaced with the Graflex style pins that Tim sells and the stock covertec button has been replaced with a real one so it can be worn on your belt. My thanks to Tim for powder coating part of the blade holder for me and also a shoutout to GENERAL GRIEVOUS / LDM for providing me with a replacement copper button.

The beautiful blue blade comes from a Seoul P4 LED and I'm using a 1" OD transwhite dual diffused blade from Vader's Vault. It looks beautiful in the dark and the difference in brightness is clearly seen between it and my stock Obi ROTS.

Nothing we all haven't seen before but I still figured I would share.  :D Thanks for looking y'all!

She is a beaut. Do you think you might convert the rest of your MR collection?

Nah I think I'm going to leave them alone. I converted this saber because ever since I opened it from the box, there was a slight malfunction in the blade. A section near the top would light up immediately when the blade was ramping up and down and it kind of killed that illusion. So converting it got rid of the problem. Besides, I also wanted to get another duel worthy saber in the house.  :)
