Here's the other Heiland SOL that I've been working on. Syncronar 3 cell shroud, Parks replica Graflex clamp, Magnavox Odyssey2 circuit board, d-ring and textured tape from The Custom Saber Shop.
It's nothing I haven't built before. The only major difference between this one and the one I built ten years ago this one are the grips. This one has eight, the one posted a few pages back has six. I considered painting the shroud and the grips black, but it would probably look a lot like a Vader saber. Happy with the way it is. I like shiny sabers.

A couple of future projects. After seeing RedButton's and Tim A's (D48thRonin) custom De Mornay Budd-based custom Lightsabers, I started hunting for one. This will be a no-brainer/very simple custom. (Grips, circuit board and d-ring) The long post will get chopped down, too.
The Peak 3 cell came from Ebay. The seller had it listed 3 different times. When he dropped the opening bid price and posted a couple better pictures, I couldn't resist and bid on it. It cleaned up very nice. The plating on the reflector mount is chipping at the edges, so I touched it up with a silver sharpie.
In one of his earlier auction descriptions, he said something along the lines of "If want to see what this flash could look like, google image search "Peaksabers" and check out Scott's D's handiwork on the RPF. :eek I almost fell out of my chair. I showed the auction to my wife and asked her if she wanted my autograph. :lol
The plan for this Peak is to make a "working" Peaksaber with a green blade and sound effects. The wife says I need to start building something different.

This is a "Grail" item and will not be converted. I've been waiting for one of these to show up on Ebay for many years. Wish the box was nicer, but oh, well.
I once owned a NIB Graflex 3 cell in the past, now I have a NIB Peak 3 cell, which I think is more rare. Not as desirable, but rare, in my opinion.

Really love the simplicity yet unique look of all the sabers that you've posted. They look as if they were pulled from the OT. Even just something as easy as changing the shroud from black to silver just throws a slight bit of uniqueness to each, and I just can't get enough of them! Really loving the weathering as well, very good job on it. Looks like it was sitting outside for a year or so, very authentic.
