Please critique my Vader ROTJ activator box

[3Tripnip]

Hey.

Well, I really want to build another one of these, and I can have the opportunity to get a few parts machined. I drew the activator box for Vader's ROTJ saber based on pics I found of the real deal. Here's a pic of it as it stands right now. I would love to hear what you think before I send it to the shop. Thanks in advance.

Nobody has any comments?

I don't know much about this saber.

I can say it looks good to me, but I'm not that familiar with it.

This is one of my favorite sabers, although don't know about precise details and measurements, but it looks very accurate to the real thing when I comare it to the movie saber pictures.

Thanks for the comments. I added a few new pieces to it (the rods that go in the middle, and the bolts I'll use to mount it to the saber). I'll post some pics of that as soon as I can. Thanks.

Looks good so far. Have a look at the pictures here:

It seems like you are missing a detail along the long edges of the top face- there should be a notch along the entire length.

Alright, after looking at some more shots of the activator, I made some changes. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
