The official LDM/MH GK3 run thread.This is a saber that has been a long time coming. The thin neck sabers from the movies have always been my favorite (Luke EP6, Kenobi 3 and 4). I have a MKVI and MKIII but always felt my collection was missing something without a truly accurate ROTS version so I spoke with LDM about correcting that. We thought others would feel the same way and decided to go forward with the saber. I was able to source a MRLE from a very trusting person and we had the models made using it.
The model name for this saber will be GK3 (We are sure you can figure the moniker out ;)).
The saber will be made of real brass and copper and all the black parts will be anodized for durability and quality.
Each saber will come with a “hero†blade plug for display purposes.
Each saber will have the latest CF version available when the saber installs begin.
The switch will be a rocker style with the ability to push both buttons at the same time in case you want to utilize “Mute on the Go†or other features (pics below).
The LED will be a Tri-Cree XP-E 2 BBx with the X being the FoC color.
The LED will be in the emitter for maximum brightness and will leave ~.6†of blade depth.
To keep this run more reasonable (copper and brass are not cheap) there will not be any options except for the FoC color. If you need a charger (it will be Li-Ion 7.4V battery) or 7/8†blade we can certainly help you find one or sell you one.
Here are a few pics of the models. A couple of notes on the pics. For the first set you will notice the set screw on the side. This will actually be on the bottom. On the shiny renders you will notice the box is backward. That was just a mistake by the machinist in doing the render. It will be correct on the actual saber. The activation card will have the correct design in it even though it is not on the models. The pommel insert is not going to be a solid insert like the pictures but will be a sound vented design with recharge port.

The full price of each saber will be $1300 (PP fees included) plus shipping. A $400 deposit is due to secure your spot on the run, $300 will be due when the sabers are machined and the remaining $600 (plus shipping) is due when the saber is complete.
All deposits are non-refundable. If you decide to sell your spot on the run you will need to contact LDM or me for instructions on how to do that.
Make your deposit of $400 USD to isg.guildmaster@yahoo.com and post your forum name in the notes. Please use payment for goods. Then post in the thread that you made your deposit and also your FoC color of choice.
