Yep, .....we did another, but wait, .....this one's a little different ;)
Ri-on sent us a Quartz crystal to add to the hilt. We pondered this for a few days and decided to keep it simple.
We experimented with a few options and decided on just a few wraps of copper wire and add the compression fitting to the rod, oh, ....and have the rod touching the crystal.
Both the copper and brass will tarnish/patina rather quickly and continue the weathered look that the starkiller hilt has.
It features a Hasbro FX vader board and powered by 4 AAA batteries. Split hilt style again. We drilled a few holes in the pommel cap and sanded it down to give the continued weathered look.
It's pretty loud and the motion sensor on this is set just right, it really captures the swing and clash sounds well.
The inside of the lower hilt is protected with a poly-carb sleeve to prevent any shorting out of the sound board, the board is secured to this sleeve as well.
