I'm working on Luke's motorized stunt saber from A New Hope.
I drilled for the white button. Next came the instillation of the motor,
rod and the switch with the battery pack. I actually works!
Yes, yes it's a work in progress!

Hey this looks great! It's one if those Vadermania kits. They come with a very small tactile switch (accessible through the end cap) but I really like the screen accurate switch.

They're available from the UK but have to be trimmed... inside the tube and the cap as well
 
I'm making progress on Luke's stunt saber. I, with a little help from thd9791,
added the grips and a folmer red button (real) along with a Roman's glass eye -
folmer style. Also a Roman's clamp and Roy's clamp card. I have to replace the card,
I dropped it while in a vice trimming/filing - vice and all right on the ground!

Update...we made a bushing and a collar for the Glomex antenna along with drilling a hole for the grub screw (8mm). Then filed the bushing and collar flat so it would line up with tang in the Vadermania motorized stunt kit. The next step is to paint a lack strip and add the reflective fabric.

The aluminum parts are such a snug fit! It spins so well, and looks just like the the real prop! Can’t wait to see the fx parts
