Sundowner's lightsaber builds

The weather is finally breaking and I can get started on building the pile of hilts I have.

• Luke's TFA Behind The Scenes Lightsaber
I didn't take any pictures when it was shiny. I dulled the finish with a spin through the dishwasher on a normal cycle, top rack, with Reeva dishwasher tablets with a heat dry. I'm pretty happy with how the finish turned out however I'm not down yet!



• Rey's TFA Lightsaber
So far I've put the new clamp on and filed down the eyelet around the bulb. The eyelet was super easy to do with a dremel sanding drum and low speed. I cleaned it up with sand paper and Brasso. My next step is the grips. I plan on attaching them with epoxy and rivets however I'm worried that the rivets might crack the grips.



• Luke's v2
As soon as it arrives I'll be working on that too!

All of the accessories!



Sorry about out the pictures, they always look great in the preview then get turned on their sides whenever I post

Very lovely! I like the weathering finish on the armory saber!!

I'm in the same boat as you, waiting for the snow to clear and 50degree weather so I can start working again.

Can do only so much in my bedroom

The prop projects really stacked up over the winter!

60° weather has hit! I was able to finish my TFA Romflex. I chose rivets over screws after reading Seth's awesome lightsaber book! Below are a few shots and an appearance of a Sundowner action figure.

she came out beautiful! :thumbsup

Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to display them!

Finally finished my v2!

It looks just like the real thing! No go jump onto a sail barge and wreck a gangster’s party.

Fantastic job on matching the black, man.

Hahaha thanks so much! I was thinking about making a sail barge display for it.
