Dark ROTJ V2 Luke Saber

[Darth PJs]

Greetings all!

I just completed this saber and I'm really proud of it!  I purchased this saber empty used from one of the forums and it was slightly weathered.  I removed all of the black paint and polished up the saber.  At first I was going to build an AFBB V2 but decided upon a dark version of the saber to match my Dark Empire-Luke saber font.  I have a second hilt that is new that I'm going to add a crystal chamber, etc. so I went with a less complicated install minus the custom activation box assembly designed by Sly Works from Shapeways.  The box has two momentary switches sitting in an internal chassis and three 3mm LEDs with side slots to mimic a bar graph.

Here's the saber info:

Solo's Hold ROTJ V2 Hilt
Plecter Labs PRIZM V4
Tri-Cree: Deep Red/Green/Amber
TCSS 28mm premium Speaker
Solo's Hold 3.7v battery
2.1mm In hilt recharge
Goth 3D printed Padawan chassis
Sly Tools custom 3D printed activation box printed in matte black metal
Wanawanga TFA "clear" clamp card
3x - 3mm leds in activation box (Red/Green/Yellow)
Custom weathering

Here are some pics:




































A special thanks to Sly Tools for helping me build the activation box!

I hope you all enjoy the post!

Thanks!

Hey @Darth PJs !  I really like the Green/Red LEDs being visible through your transparent activation plate/circuit board!!!  NEAT IDEA!
