The Chassis: Most of the handle is MHS v2 (where the leather wrap is), and then both ends adapt up to MHS v1. Because of this I ended up going with Goth 3D chassis parts that are 0.99 OD. But they are modular pieces, so you pick and choose which ones you want. I needed to use spacers between some of the parts so that I could route the cables through, so I put spacers between all of them to look cohesive. Other than the Goth 3D parts, there are a few Skywampa, TCSS, and other various hardware bits. Everything is linked below.
Goth 3D
Excluding the crystal chamber parts, the Goth 3D chassis parts were all white, which was a mistake. Should've done black. So I painted all of them in a few steps. 1st was paint them flat black. 2nd was paint them graphite. 3rd was a layer of silver leaf Rub'n Buff thinned with enamel thinner and applied to just the outside to help it look more like metal.
Here are the other pieces of the chassis with explanations:
The Skywampa and TCSS discs are treated with a combination of Aluminum Black and Ebony Rub'n Buff to give them that "weathered" look.
Here are the various hardware bits to connect all of it:
I bought these brass rods and bent a handle on the end about half way down and just push it in from the top and don't have to remove anything.
