UPDATE!!
Ok I know this thread is now going on three months old, but I have EXCITING news.
This saber is finally done, finished, finito. I sent the parts to our very own Morris@rt to be Anodized, and they are back in my hands. I recieved them monday night and I spent the rest of the night putting it back together. Let me say this, it FAR exceeded my own expectations for the saber. The parts are beautifully done, and the black matches the black on the obi-wan pommel.
Here are a few beauty shots:
And a Video:
My camera really doesn't do this saber justice, it is much better in person. As for the tech specs on this baby, they remained relatively unchanged. Still a CF 4.1, still a 7.2V Li-Ion pack. However, now instead of a Lux III Cyan, there is a Lux V. I also have a Seoul P4 green that I can quickly pop in at a seconds notice.
I want to stress that this is the epitome of a gray saber. Has a sithy look to the hilt, but a very Jedi feel to the blade.
Last thing... To correspond with the release of Bioshock Two, expect another MHS saber from me. A few people have already seen the design, so be on the look out. The game has a tentative release date of September 30, 2009 so expect to see the saber around then ;)
Enjoy and as always; Welcome to Rapture!
