Thanks Sedsti . . . .
Here you go Haz . . . the Archon v2.1 with the Renegade Side Blade Extension piece in the neck . . .
An here's the Manticore SE with Renegade LE emitter, Side Blade Extension piece in the neck, and pommel . . . This is really very nice, the neck piece makes a very comfortable choke for the Manticore body, I like the feel of this a lot . . .
And here without the neck piece
Also, here's the Dark Menace with the same emitter, neck & pommel . . . again this is really nice . . . very well balanced and makes for a very comfortable grip with the Menace body . . .
here with the standard Dark Menace pommel
did I mention how awesome the blade light looks through these emitter windows
OK . . . so I finished the first stage wiring & mods to the RenExar . . . some pics so far with a blade plug in the pommel . . .
I went straight into wiring this with sound . . . I used the US battery / speaker combo without the lip, and cut grooves into the side of the speaker mount to run the wires for the pommel MLS unit, and taped over the wires . . . I still want to drill some side vents into the lip of the MLS unit to help the sound, and some holes in the blade plug also, just waiting till I decide exactly which blade plug I'll settle on . . .
The speaker mount I've used is the same as the one in the middle of this pic here, so that it can slide further in the hilt past the machined edge next to the pommel threading . . .
Just some final pics, next to its Sentinel brother
And my favourite pic so far . . .
next . . . . I'll take some pics with dual blades . . . .
