Lightsaber prop showcase.

My first thread on the rpf.
What better way to get started than show my lightsaber props?
Here’s the list;
1 vintage minicam flash
(might become Yoda’s lightsaber)
2 Roman props Gen 1 Graflex replicas
(Both will be in Anh configuration)
1 korbanth Rotj Darth Vader lightsaber
(I have no plans on making it light up)
1 vintage ‘60s Graflex
(Yet to become the holiday special lightsaber…yikes.)
1 mini Graflex
(A mini holiday special saber)
1 3D printed Anh Obi-wan lightsaber
(Might repaint and re-weather it)
And last but not least:
Anh/Rotj v2/v3 hybrid
(I ordered this unknown branded saber off of eBay and I might repaint it to look more like the v3)

I have to admit, I love the foam box for your hybrid! It's like it's all ready for NASA!

Quick Update!
I modified the V2/V3 Hybrid to look like the V3.
I also made the ANH Luke/Vader shared stunt using a metal pipe,
a spare button and glass eye from a black series lightsaber,
wood strips for T-tracks,
and a simple clamp made of foil tape and floor mat foam, with a 3D printed clamp card.
I also 3D printed the “ESB ranch saber” which I’ll post a picture of soon.

That V3 is pretty cool, but I might be a little biased... I built it originally. Did it come with the styrofoam box? I think I did that too. Funny thing is I gifted it to a coworker, and she turns around and sells it on eBay?

If I may ask: How much did you pay for it? It would be interesting to know what my work is worth.

 

[Tan Djarka]

A follow up question (and this is mostly to satisfy my own ego): How would you rate the craftsmanship on that saber? Good? Adequate? Wanted your money back?

I think it was around $20 when I bought it back in 2021. I still have the original EBay picture.

I personally think it’s a spot on build.
I had to repair a few small breaks on the hilt, but it’s still holding on strong! It’s a good hilt.
Also as an update: I did a clamp swap recently and temporarily gave it the Kenobi styled weathering. I’ll get it repainted back to prop tour colors eventually.

nice job, that pommel shape is spot on! Hell, the real props have aluminum tape on them. Nice choice for the grip ribs too, really looks the part lol

 

[Tan Djarka]

$20? That's a little disappointing. But just think, someday it may be worth half that! And it definitely looks better with the new clamp.
