Title: Scratch built MPP inspired saber. Post by: TR-77477 on September 11, 2020, 12:27:30 PM I always stop by the clearance section of my local hardware store looking for that unique found part. I recently found a delta shower head and immediately took it apart. To my pleasant surprise I found a interesting part and was inspired. Everything except the T grips was either a found part or hand made from stuff I had laying around. As the build progressed I was inspired to make my own take on a MPP hilt. Most of the styling ques come from the classic hilt but I wanted to make it my own. I am completely thrilled with the result. This is by far my best creation yet.

I STILL am amazed that you were able to build that using only what you found at the hardware store :) Point! Title: Re: Scratch built MPP inspired saber.

Makes me want to start tinkering and give this a try. Does it light up or hold a blade? Of course points awarded! Title: Re: Scratch built MPP inspired saber. Post by: Therion Jinn on September 12, 2020, 05:34:07 PM Some very nice custom work there
Looks like it belongs in the SW stories Title: Re: Scratch built MPP inspired saber. Post by: Darth Andeddu on September 15, 2020, 01:42:20 AM Looks great! Very inspirational -- don't know how many times I've seen random things on the shelves at the hardware store and never stopped to consider how they would "complete" a one-of-a-kind saber hilt . Creativity, like the Force, runs strong in some of us!
Points! Title: Re: Scratch built MPP inspired saber. Post by: Infinit01 on September 15, 2020, 11:35:31 AM Nice build, it's fantastic
