Limited Run Luke Shared stunt Version Lightsaber ( Run Full )

Re: Luke Shared stunt Version Lightsaber ( Pricing Now Uploaded )

Yeah, I always figured the story was that he built it from parts at Obi Wan's place.

Maybe old Ben had a backup hilt, or spare parts/crystals and whatnot in that little chest he pulls the Graflex from.

Perfectly pristine props are boring on screen. They have no depth or character. Sterile. There are a few exceptions, but not many.

I work as a set dresser/props guy in films and pretty much everything gets some degree of aging/weathering. It's like it's standard procedure.

I love the V2. As far as it's weathered look, I just thought that everything in the Star Wars universe was supposed to have the "lived in" look. Grease stains, scratches, dents, & all, it's what made it all seem real.
I love the idea of Luke building his lightsaber out of old parts he found at Obi-Wans place. I always wondered where he got the green blade. So the story I made up was, what if it was Qui-Gons old crystal. Obi-Wan took the lightsaber after Qui-Gons death, & after all the years maybe the crystal was the only thing left. Then it was found by (or called to) Luke, as he was looking to build his own lightsaber.

Oh man Im looking forward to this, my 1st Luke saber.
Started work on nutting out the internals. It will most likely take the rest of the year (or more)to finish it. I need to get the MPCNC finished before I can make it. Will do a 3d printed test version once I have the saber and can make some measurements. I just used the images earlier on and scaled them to start planning.

Curious like some other people about what all will be anodized - I'm extremely interested in the anodizing, but I don't think I want the ring on the emitter anodized - that doesn't read to me as 'clean paint,' and I'd probably do that treatment in aluminum black, myself.

I'm assuming that all the holes that have been discussed are the set-screw holes that are visible on the original prop - basically holes that are accurate to the original?

I'm curious about this as well. Is there a final drawing/plan that the set screw holes will be drilled? The ones on the first post have the holes all over the place and not consistent with each other or the photo of the actual prop. I assume these are just mock up photos but am wondering if you have finalized hole placement for the shop.

And will the windvane area be stepped as it is in those drawings or sloped as it looks to be on the prop? Thanks!

I'm in for anodized grenade (grip) section Rudy - just let me know if it's a go and I'll send over the additional funds for it.

Re: Luke Shared stunt Version Lightsaber ( Pricing Now Uploaded )

What parts would be anodized with the option? Just the black in the rings or the other black parts as well?

The Holes will follow this pattern, with a slot covered by the Clamp.

The Qui Gon Jinn crystal that's what I thought at O'Ben's place makin a lightsaber. Feels like a good idea. Likely no one had planned it pre prequels. Im sure some youtuber has made an hour long video about how its possible.

Spirit of Ob1 are you doing a chamber for this?
Oldroof I may make it available not promising anything and it wont be done for at least 3-6 months.

tape and copper paint, It defiantly looks to be taped maybe similar tape to V2 but then got a copper PJ( I do see its not in the same place and a lot thinner than V2). graflex clamp and other parts, you can get straight aluminum tape ( no pattern) from most hardware stores in NZ. I figured it was something like that.

Let's stop polluting this amazing run thread with curse words like "prequel"

with the anodizing on the emitter, that will be only the small ring under the top of saber, like the pics?

regardless, id be in for that for sure also.

 

[Spirit of ob1]

Re: Luke Shared stunt Version Lightsaber ( Pricing Now Uploaded )

Yes it will be the ring and underneath the emitter end.
