So, for a few weeks I 'lurked' The Custom Saber Shop's forums. I tried to familiarise myself with the whole Saber building process. A neat little thing on the website is the "MHS Builder". MHS stands for Modular Hilt System which is pretty much just the part where you hold your saber. Its a little flash app that opens in your browser and it allows you to select certain Saber Shop parts and put them together and help you decide what you actually want to build.
So I went ahead and built it. I thought it was a flawless design so I posted it on the forums and got a pretty negative response. My saber just wouldn't work. I ended up designing it to be around 17 inches long with is way too big just for the hilt. And the parts just wouldn't fit together. I had a long way to go yet. I was still a noob...
My first design.
In the next edition I'll show you my 2 final designs that I had to choose from and which design I chose and why.
Also, here is a link to the MHS builder so you guys can play around a little: http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/mhsbuilder/mhsbuilder.php

ReplyDeleteThis is great ; o Lightsaber builder, man. Right now I am building my own ;3
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea building lightsabers could be so complicated. Looks like a pretty awesome tool, that sabershop!
ReplyDeleteWha.... Lucas fans are fanatics lol
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I've always wanted to be a jedi!
ReplyDeleteyour picture isn't working but it's still an interesting idea. i didn't know there were specifications that they couldnt handle. so i'm guessing a darth maul edition is out of reach?
ReplyDeleteLooks killer.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy, but I am to lazy to start such a project.
ReplyDeleteWell keep trying until you get something that would work... granted it's all theoretical anyways....
ReplyDeleteShame it didn't work
ReplyDeleteWow that's a pretty slick design, pity it didn't work.
