Since the handle is hollow and has a cap that can be opened, I used it to contain the battery holder...
I used the sound-light circuit board ripped from an 2nd-hand AbaLaser bought last time to fit into this KO. The power on-off switch has to be re-locatedto a new place (barrel area) with a new switch rerouted for the trigger...
This part gives me the most headache, and is still not fully working well now... I used magnets to in an attempt to hold the blade in place, but due to the heavy weight of the ABS blade, it does not work well... Sadly, the magnets I used to lock the handle are not strong enough to keep it secured in place... But will do as long as I don't swing it too hard...
Next, painting is done, mainly borrowing the colour scheme from the Thundermax Saber - Crimson Edition... The blade is spray painted while the main body parts are hand-painted with paint pens... paint bleedings are scraped off using a penknife... Ready to assemble...
Done! Gun mode...
And the saber mode...
Saber mode looking from the speaker side, which is painted purple to match the LED cover on the other side...
