Welcome to RAPTURE *UPDATE 4.22.09*
« on: January 23, 2009, 10:49:05 PM »
Guess what everyone? My MHS saber is DONE! I don't have any pictures but I do have a lovely video for everyone. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.



Details (all provided in the video):
Actual Hilt:
Acerocket Obi-Wan TPM pommel
Standard Hilt 2
Ribbed Extension
Choke Style 3 "Hourglass Choke"
Blade Holder Style 12
Electronics:
CF 4.1
7.2 V Trustfire Battery setup
Recharge port/ Kill switch
Cyan Lux III Bin 1
Also, a Lux III red wired on a quick disconnect when I get some nylon screws.

The blade is an Ultra blade. I had order some UltraEdges hoping to use them in this, but they won't fit any of my sabers, not even my Luke ROTJ. :-[

That is AMAZING, RJ! Man, you on you way to making some pretty sweet sabers. And it being anodized (I speeled that correctly, eh? :D), wow, the Cyan will really compliment the Hilt! The hilt length is almost as long as Maul's! :D (Well, close)

Keep up the awesome work!

You are very welcome. What is cool about a longer hilt is when handling with two hands and using your body to moving, you can be more fluent with your strikes. :) (Like when Lord Maul and Qui-Gon battle on Tatooine)

That looks great! I'm also putting together a loooooooong saber in the Maul Tatooine style. How did you get the style 12 blade holder to line up with the ignition switch? I ordered one and when I screwed it on fully the emitter was sideways.

Wow!  Great first MHS saber!  Love the "swoopy choke", nice solution for your batteries and switches, like you said definitely simplifies installation for a beginner and looks very clean too!  And, of course, Acerockets pommel and a "Holy Grail".  Awesome!

To tell you the truth Scythe, it just kinda happened, I didn't plan any like that.

Best way to avoid that is order it without the switch hole and countersink it yourself.  That emitter is notorious for that problem.  Also, make sure to test it with the heatsink in!  The heatsink will change the lineup ;) .

Agree with the other posts up there, wonderful to see a "true two-handed" saber.  'Cause of my huge ham-hands, that's the kind of saber I plan on making for my first as well.

If I had a tripod I would do some spins and such for everyone, I'll see if one of my friends will do it for me. No one in my family will hold a camera for me, they don't really approve my my collection for some reason. I mean they are all big Star Wars fans too!
