WARNING, LOTS OF BIG PICS.
These are not the best, didnt clean up the saber etc since its not complete yet, but once it is Ill get a nice photoshoot. As you will be able to see from the photos, my main area of concern is the holes in the tube below the activator bubble button, the holes that were for the wires etc from the FX saber. These will be a little less noticable once I get the clamp sleeve in there (graciously donated by ToothTech), but Im thinking I may cover them with some chrome tape under the clamp just to help. Still need to add the wires and remove MR copyright info.
To get the original MPP innards inside the tube, I had to grind it out a bit, it was JUST too small for everything to fit. It is of note that the holes in the FX tube do not perfectly match with the MPP innards, its really close, but not perfect, but once the wires are inserted it will be hard to tell, the center holes which show are centered. When I gutted the original, I tossed the plastic clamp and removed the blade from its 8 wire connector, so if I ever needed to, it COULD still have a functional blade.
And as previously mentioned, i have incorporated the original inside parts for the FX motion activated woosh, buzz and power up sounds. I could not find a good place to hide a functional switch, so I made it so you just need to turn a battery around and screw it back up, but it buzzes and wooshes nice and loud then
Again, any suggestions from experts would be appreciated.
