Well it’s about time I finally got around to documenting my lightsaber builds I’m starting on. Started with a completely custom from scratch build and have also tagged on at least one flash gun build .
The initial scratch build has hit a wall at the moment, I’ve designed the grip and that’s it as I can’t decide how I want the emitter and pommel to look.
eBay to the rescue with my Presslite (and other random parts) job lot, this arrived today and was only £31 plus postage which was a steal. Two smaller Presslite Aluminium bodies with a bunch of parts that either go with them or have nothing to do with them, also one much larger chromed steel body that is unmarked but is just screaming lightsaber hilt. If anyone knows the make of this unit please let me know as I can’t find anything on it (only spent a few hours on research though).
So here is what I have so far. The scratch build will be built on my lathe (manual for most and CNC for some of the smaller items). I’m starting with Aluminium to get it going and probably remaking it in Titanium at a later date:
The Presslite job lot of goodies:
