Yup,  I think I may paint them all,  depending on how well the smell wears off on this first one...the paint is dry,  but still so fresh it leaves my hands smelling like paint.   I probably won't make very many more until after Halloween,  but I have parts to do four more,  but I'm planning on keeping two of them....though I may be able to persuaded to sell 'em if someone want one...I can always build more for myself later.  I have two red led's,  a blue and a green.  I have a saber up on ebay right now,  and three in the FS threads in the link above.

Have you thought about selling these in kits?

If I remember correctly,  Ultra has a BIY Kit for his Initiates that includes some neat stuff,  probably for less than I can do it for...I can't get a volume discount on the led's,  drivers,  etc. like he can,  and I also have to pay shipping fees for all of the electronics.  I could do a kit,  but you'd have to have a soldering iron and a hot glue gun to assemble the electronics.  I'd also have to make some instructions,  especially for the Lil' Tyrants,  as there is a process to assembling trhose.  The standard hilt is easy,  just solder everything up and shove it into the hilt.

They are usually in the ebay store,  but it looks like he may be out of them.

I painted up some more this morning:



The two Lil' Tyrants there are actually a charcoal metallic in person,  but might look black in the pic.  I like the way those turned,   so I'm painting all of them.

I re-assembled the green one:



I decided since I was going to paint these,  that I might as well use the original idea I had for the pommels and picked up some more 1" white pvc end caps.  These are more like a pommel,  and don't feature any writing on them.  Remove the screw to access the batteries!

Here's one of the "Big Kid" hilts all painted up:
Click the pics!







This hilt is about 12" long and can accommodate larger kids or adults.  This should work well in the photo booth!

Well,  I got some more re-assembled after paint (pics are clickable for a larger pic!):




This is the style suggested by Beggarsoutpost,  it's kind of a Big Kid Dark Tyrant,  I guess!  Like all the rest of these,  it lights up one of my full length 32" blade just fine.
