Been a while, but I do have some progress to report.
All the major parts of the saber bodies are machined, as well as pommel inserts and heatsinks. I need to machine the box and buttons for the Delta Voodoo and the bezel and buttons for the Delta Scepter so I can send all those parts out for anodizing that need to be anodized. Yes, I said buttons - with the release of the CSV2, the sabers now need two buttons. I had to redesign the sabers, and I have already let all run participants know where I am at with this work. When I get the parts back, I can set about turning off that which is not black anodized. I still need to get the internal Delrin parts machined and hope to get them started this weekend.
I think they are looking good. I really like how the Delta Scepter looks like it could be a real sword hilt. Funny though, the Delta Voodoo looks so much smaller than the Delta Scepter even though they share the same length and main grip diameter. They are short - as you can see compared to a MkVI. 8" long really is noticeable next to a 12" long saber. No two-handed weilding on these.
