Every once in a while a designer gets stuck. He looks for innovation and new ideas. It was just such a time when I was wondering what the next evolution of a Krayt Bone handled lightsaber could look like. So I started randomly connecting some MHS pieces for inspiration. It was almost like I was playing with Lego again. I hit on something, but the design presented certain challenges. Most notably, the use of the grenade style grip near the pommel. This piece has a smaller inside diameter than the parts I normally use. I had to give up on the PVC chassis that is usually standard for one of my Elite sabers, and I had to go with a twin 14500 cell battery pack in order to make it all fit. This challenge was compounded by the fact that I wanted to build in a crystal chamber with the functionality of my Darth Bane saber.
It took a few months of scheming and dreaming to make it all work nicely, but I am really happy with the result. I even detailed the bone cut away so people will assume this is real bone!
