This will be my first MHS saber, and hopefully it arrives before comic con! What do you guys think? I know it's kinda plain, but I wanted to keep things simple.
PS: Does anyone here know Tsukamaki? (art of Sword Handle Wrapping)
UPDATE:
It's taken me awhile to get around to this, but here it is! It's a Lux III Green running off of 4 AAA batteries and the Hilt is about 14 inches long. The powdercoating came out amazing! It really makes the grooves in the saber stand out. Only thing that I think I will change is the blade, it's not very even, and the tip doesn't catch any light (reflector in the top is probably solid) But other than that, Tim does awesome machining work.
I actually finished this saber at 4:30 in the morning, the day I was going to comic con
. I don't want to brag, but while I was carrying around, a couple of people asked if it was an Ultrasaber! I was flattered that my first saber was mistaken for Dark Side Customs! (Now that I look at it again, It kinda does look like an Imperial Knight mixed with an Overlord)
One more thing, If you happen to get Blade Holder 12 for your saber on TCSS, you must ask for the "Top" of the holder to line up with the switch hole. If you don't, IMO the saber will just look weird, unless you use a control box.
