So, I got this idea from my buddy, hazard502. He took his Lost Gray, took off the shroud, and put back on all the greeblies, the emitter and a different pommel and made himself a nice stunt. I was like, "that's cool." And, here I am with an empty Lost Gray, so I thought I'd do something similar. I also have an empty Archon 2.1, so I decided to see how I like it with the Lost Gray body and greeblies, and the Archon 2.1 emitter and pommel. I like how it looks:   I don't have the button covers anymore, I sort of melted them with my heat gun when I disassembled the saber.  But, I ordered two of the gold Anakin style buttons from the store: https://ultrasabers.com/product/gold-anakin-button/Those look like the same buttons, so hopefully they'll fit. They should look slick with the gold AV switch I put in there too. Anyway, that's what I have for now. I'll get electronics in the near(ish) future to do a light and sound install on this. Aside from that, I also have a nice empty Archon 2.1 body for another Frankensaber:  I've got some ideas as to what to do with that, but it will require ordering an emitter and a pommel. |

I agree with Rapine. Your ideas are awesome and I love the LG without the shroud! I may very well buy one just for that! Keep it up my friend.
+1 from me too

Reminds me of how 'Rum's Unity' came about.
Although its parts were bought deliberately for the build
Excellent looking hilt you have there

Thanks everyone.  I hope to be able to order a sound board for this soon. That's the part that's hardest for me to afford. |

Nice. I actually like the sanding on the neck, some of the black is still there. As for the Archon body, I say the choke from a Guardian pommel, Arbiter emitter, Dorinian standard pommel, maybe Violet Amethyst or Emerald Green Pyrestone Orange would look nice too  |
