A friend of mine saw the lightsabers I made for my daughter and myself for Halloween (she was Ahsoka Tano from clone wars) and asked if I could make 2 for her to give her kids for Christmas. After thinking about it for half a second I thought, sweet an excuse to make more!
All PVC construction. I wanted to do something different, so I made the core of the hilt look like wood.
This one I really like. All PVC, except for the blade holder is a galvanized electrical part. I used a blue enamel for the first layer of paint followed by 2 layers of silver. Wet sand, another layer of silver, wet sand then clear coated. I sanded the hilt core with 220 then wet sanded for a smooth finish. Then 3 coats of gloss black.
Here are all 4 of the sabers I have made so far.
I'm done with lightsaber smithing for a while. I'm going to order some cree LED's off Amazon with some optics eventually when I start again. But now I'm gearing up for my first pep file fiberglass project. It is obi wans CW armor set, and I'll be making molds for reproduction. After that I'll need to get my hands on the elusive kotor Jedi armor file, I don't want to fork out the $40 for the file though. Anyone know of any other sites that might have it?
