hi, Ive been working on this for a fellow board member, basically creating a cordless saber set up for a medicom Luke.The main problem with Lukes ROTJ saber and at a later date Obi wans EP3 saber is the neck section of the hilt, even the MR FX sabers have had to thicken up this section on their sabers, I wanted to create a more authentic look to the hilt, so, i machined half of it from alloy bar, the metal allowed the actual hilt to become half of the electrical circuit to light the cathode tube(allowing a far thinner neck to be used),whilst the other half sits at the back of the hilt in form of a plastic section of the hilt with a steel band.(its completely cordless no wires from hand to hilt just place it in his mit and it lights up) In thse pictures the hilt is in a non finished state,needs paint apps and the sabers other details adding.Unfortunetly he has to be remotely powered as the small medicom body just wont take an invertor and a power source (yet)
