hello so which one?
the converting is cheaper plus i don't know anything bout electronics but is it more worthwhile? the sabers pretty used; scratched, bits missing etc

scince i want it for a stunt saber should i get new? i dont want to do what i always do and get something before thinking then i regret it and get P'd off...

~may the force serve you well~
(as i have said in other posts im very indecisive)

DECISION [edit (almost) edit]MADE!!

I AM CONVERTING THE ANI ROTS AND MAKING A NEW ONE

1)IF I DO BOTH THERES ONE WITH SOUND AND ONE WITHOUT
2)THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART OF THE SABER IS THE MHS
2.5) why did i caps lock all of that?
3) unfortuanatley its seems i ovelooked one thing, EBAY! and the fact that people seem to buy any thing for any amount of cash - so - i make jedi robes and such and sell on ebay a few times, or i could make stuff call it art and sell it ;D
anyways thanks to the people who replied but in gonna do both

it seems the amount of times i hit myself ove the head with the lightsaber killed more brain cells than i originaly thought.

so ill keep you all psoted on progress and im going to let you in on a secret ans so i can say sorry to xwingband (if he cares) im going to steal his idea for a clear saber, so sorry, however i decided to instead of going with a plain quick rushed saber which is what i was going to do an di would have regretted m going to stuff it with wires and useless curcuit boards and a bit of el wire so it looks somewhat futuristic and also if all goes well with the saber making and i have the cash i thoght about starting making and sellith them - but im gonna stop there because you can even ramble when typing lol

thanks again - feedback appreciated since thread is open ;D

Well, the thing about making a clear saber is you cannot buy the parts from TCSS to make it. You would have to buy and shape all custom parts, which unless you have the machinery, would be very very hard, time consuming and expensive. Draw out your own design and go with that, you will be much happier in the end.

true 6_6 guess i didn't cover all my bases - but the design wouldn't be the hilt it would be the wires, el wires and circuit boards.

the bit that i think mite be harder is like threading to screw the saber parts together - about drawing it up ive still been thinking about how its going to come together - i don't really do drafts but on this occasion i think i will - ill post any sketches i come up with ;D.

Post them up, man. If you look in the TCSS forums, you can find a render sheet that someone made of all the MHS parts so you can piece a design up yourself in paint. Either that or wait for this...an interactive saber builder..

Its in the process in being made, so just keep checking back. Don't think I am trying to steal people away from this forum, but 1.) no one posts anymore, 2.) no one builds sabers, and 3.) you cannot buy sabers from here. Check out the forums and get some ideas from those guys...they are insane.
