Cross posting my build from FISD

Thought I'd have a go at one of these in case LFL pull the plug on blasters again this year for the EPVIII premier, won't be 100% accurate as there are limited images and I'm building it "old school" so definitely will be basic. It may still go pew pew though, depends on what you have noticed in the limited images available ;).

Started with the sizing of the blades

On to the main tube and working out the slotted holes

On to the blades, had to cut double the amount as I didn't have the right thickness material, then glued them together

Playing with some electronics, I can only do the basics so using a few different things.

Taken the electronics out of an old extendable Kylo saber and have some EL wire, I have added an on/off switch and a press switch as well as an amp jack so I can run to the aker amp.

I am getting the feeling from the hengstler, magazine and slotted pipe that the weapon may actually double as a blaster, who knows for now but while I have it apart I'll add on some blaster electronics. just in case.

Again taken the electronics from a child's toy blaster, added a high bright LED, some smaller led's for the hengstler and magazine, on/off and push switches and incorporated it all with the saber electronics.

Working out spacing for the recessed ridges on the handle, also noticed it looks like the weapon has a F-11D blaster end cap with a D-ring

Then I found some coated wire would do nicely for the raised sections but I would need to add some grooves to the inner pipe piece so it will sit better and give the glue something to hold on too, so I did this with the dremel and a file, luckily I had tape the right spacing width.

Then inserted in the handle and added the pieces of wire.

Slots cut and recessed sections glued in

So it seems from what images there are that the weapon has a blaster hengstler and magazine

Whoa, I am not a fan of all the non-energy blade weapons seen on the new movies, but your build is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
 
Finally the EL wire has arrived, took some time to fit it through, had to cover some of the wire with heat shrink as I only wanted the wire between the claws to illuminate. Then the task of adding the heat glue without going overboard so there is enough light shining through. Very happy with how it has turned out, hopefylly the next one will be a little more accurate and folding.
