Congratulations and welcome to the ranks of Vanguard

Congratulations trooper, well done

Yes the circuit board fits in the base handle, wiring is wound like a spring and is longer in the inner pipe so it will extend.

Welcome aboard, good luck in your respective positions

Great work team, a much easier resource should help new scouts immensely

Thanks for the kind words Peter

Unfortunately no images, the electronic board from the cheap lightsaber is only a small rectangle, fits in the end cap, added a 3 x AA cylinderical battery pack so that fits in the staff as well. There are wires running between the grips and inner pipe that go to the switch and AV jack. In the end is a HI bright blue LED, just two wires there all the way up the center, I had to add extra wire and coil it so it wouldn't catch when the shaft is extended. Couldn't have done it without your files, rare someone makes files and doesn't try to cash in, you Sir are a gentleman Cheers Mickey, I think we need some awards around here, Justin definitely deserves if for his kind share

Thanks to the free files from MrPoopie I thought I'd give a JFO Riot Baton a go. I've missed taking photos of the boring bits, printing, glue, spray putty, sand, prime, sand then paint, I get a little carried away and forget about photos. Here it is assembled I like all of my weapons have to have lights and sound and although I've not played the game or know the actual sound one makes I know the lighting is blue. I tried some blue EI wire and it looked pretty silly, also tried some blue print filament in the end which was ok but really didn't light that well. So in the end I stripped down an old lightsaber, removed the electronics and started fitting them inside the baton. The end was great to hide the speaker in BUT you can barely hear it. So as I do to all my weapons, external jack added, a cable runs up my arm around the chest and to the aker amp, now this is a little more like it. I know it's not 100% screen accurate but the younglings won't care and it's going to be nice and loud at the next convention (eventually when we can have one)

Congratulations trooper

Thanks for the info and updates

Congratulations Boss

Okay not a problem! Get well, man. Cheers Mickey, hope it's not too long before I can get back to this

Not as yet Mickey, hands haven't recovered as well as expected so it's on the back burner

Condolences to his family and friends
