The blade in the video is not the final one my buddy Tyler Saathoff is making one for it.

So I tacle the last think I hesitate to do, adding a d-ring on my Vader :thumbsup

Tiny space here but I managed to drill a 2mm hole and mount a modified d-ring into it :rolleyes

I know this one is not that accurate but its the only size I found that can fit in and still some mods to do :wacko

The point here is more to have one to be abble to wear the saber when my armor will be complete than to be super accurate. Weathered to fit the rest of the saber ect :cheers

Perhaps Roy from wannawanga has the correct D-ring for you ... the same as used for Luke's ESB Kobold clip, yet ask him first if it's the same diameter :) Another place to look is vintage sportsbags or ladies bags ... check your wardrobe you maybe surprised to find a correct D :

A larger D-ring makes for easier clipping on and off your belt thus faster access to ignite your Vader lightsaber hilt :)

Thanks for sharing thoose infos with me :$

This type of D-ring is to big in diameter to fit BUT mine looked realy too tiny after you showed me this one :lol

Looking through my other models and boxes of stuff I found nothing else fitting :cry

I was going to shearch again on the internet when my lovely wife just recal she have some steel 2mm wire in stock, I love my wife :love

This is perfect for this application and its steel not stainless steel and you know what that mean? Yeah RUST, love me some rust on Vader saber :love

Just weathered with oils and pigment but soon the rust will add naturaly to it :lol

Here is how I done it, pretty simple in fact :rolleyes

Yeah I broke a tiny bit of the shroud on one of the holes spot :eek

But you know its happen when I was extracting the previous D-ring, something that Vader himelf or the person in charge of his weapon could have done or that just could happend after years of use through the galaxy :rolleyes

So even If I have 2 left over shrouds, one other metal and one plastic, I choose to let it that way, love me some real weathering :love

Now I'm completely pleased with this D-ring
 
Hum yeah I did another one :lol

Going back to what Sym-Cha said to me about the Kobold D-ring given the fact it will not fit with this shroud I decide to copied it with the steel 1.8 wire that fit perfectly :thumbsup

And I'm glad I did it, this one is the one, I will keep it that way, thanks again Sym-Cha :$

Now onto fine tune the weathering in this area again :lol
 
I love it, but I cannot get over the grips not extending over the end cap!!!

After the last sound font I want to add on the board will be load on the sd card I will not need to unscrew the pommel often ;)

Actualy I will not need to open it at all exept in case of internal problem but its realy unlikely, so soon I will add full lenght grips soon ;)
 
Actually I think your first custom D-ring looked better being a bit smaller than the ESB Kobold clip ... here's mine, just a bit to roundish, yet on a real MPP :

And here's the actual prop though from ROTJ ... see it's smaller than your last attempt?

Though it maybe the width 1.8 you used is what throws me off ... my D's are larger in width . . . and more shiny :wacko

You were right about that, you were right... *Dying Vader voice*

That didn't jump to my eyes at first but now I see it, its definitely to big :facepalm

So I have done another one smaller like the previous one and more neat this time :rolleyes
