Might be worth checking out Nick Tyrrell's work on instagram. He's currently working on a Cad Bane, which is a clay sculpt and then silicone cast. His Bane is based on the Bad Batch Nick Tyrrell Instagram

Thank you! Yes it's a resin printer, there's a lot less processing work required in terms of sanding. The resin printers seemed a lot more 'plug and play' which benefited me a lot, however I do wish the build volume was much bigger. I will definitely have to give FDM printing a go soon...

Well, I have finally finished my first ever prop, and boy what a journey! This first lightsaber was painted using some basic Rustoleum rattle can paints, but I've since purchased a cheap airbrush kit, so I've started work on a second using Vallejo paints, which gives a much better copper...

Brilliant job!

Valor, how easy is the mother of pearl sheet to work with? Do you cut it with scissors or scalpel? I've been toying with epoxy/uv resin and pearlescent mica powders for my Leia lightsaber, but struggling to get the desired outcome. Also, if you wanted to add a bit more 'depth' to the pearl...

So! It's been a while, and I've been slowly tinkering with my 3D model, since the release of the film and new content to work from. I'm now at a fairly happy place with the model, and since recently acquiring an Elegoo Mars 3D printer, I've been slowly printing out the pieces for the lightsaber...

So I've been working on my 3D model as well, following the release of new images. However there are some interesting pieces of information from this youtube. Belt clip for starters!

Well, a big thank you to CGClone for kindly offering to 3D print my first model and send it to me in return for him being able to print one for himself, very kind. The 3D print arrived today and it’s amazing to see and feel a physical copy of the model. Holding the physical lightsaber, I feel...

Very sorry, I should have tagged your threads in this, but I didn't know how to. Interesting to see Korbanth's offering, I expect it will be quite popular despite the oddities.

Many of you have probably already seen Valor / Verity Cosplay and Psych0ticmisfit takes on Leia's lightsaber. I also had posted my take in the "New ROS Prop image" thread. Like the others, I have been slowly refining and remodelling with the limited images we have. My first effort was a useful...

Spent some time modelling Leia's saber as well. First time I've modelled anything like this, so obviously pretty hard when not knowing dimensions and having to eyeball a lot of stuff.

Re: Free starwars the force awakens pepakura files Thanks for putting in the time, some of it should be of use, so very much appreciated! :)

Looking great! May I ask, what program are you using to model this?

Re: Free starwars the force awakens pepakura files Does anyone have the pdf files for these? I'm on Mac, and so can't print them out without the hassle of downloading a load of different programs, which my mac isn't too capable of handling anymore. Would be very much appreciated, but never...
