Done / Completed Luke's TLJ «CreepyUncle» hilt - SOLD OUT

Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

I agree that it would be better done in factory instead of attempting at home. I've tried all sorts of different recommendations and tricks on some older hero models and I could never get that dark look that I wanted. there are just so many clean and shiny hero versions out there already that the dark look is actually what sold me on this run. Otherwise It's Just Another Hero version with a slightly different box dimension and tri ring placement.

so my opinion only but I'm voting for factory darkened all the way.

I’d be happy with that too

I thought scotch brite and aluminum black was the answer to all weathering desires?
I’d like a canvas to work with, it’s easier going from shiny to dull than the other way I guess?

I will make minor changes, because we have new images of actual prop. :)
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

Will it not be a problem to wait a few days for me to make changes in accordance with the new photos? Then I will give new drawings to production.

I will be very grateful if someone will share high-quality photographs of the hilt from the exhibition

I’m patient. If you wanna tweak it, tweak it.

That’s my vote, I’m but one though.

I don’t mind waiting at all. Anything to make it as accurate as possible :)

What exhibition btw?
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

I shall look forward to seeing prop photos because comparing the white glove against the creepy Uncle belt hanger, the latter certainly looks more natural and shiny aluminium

Sounds good! Will you also be adding the screws and plate to the control box itself as well?

BTW the inner diameter of the ribbed section in Roman's V4 is 1". I would really love those extra millimeters in there.

I’m pretty sure (atm) that there is no plate or screws on this saber
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

Let's see when the photos become available. If there are screws, I will add them
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

I would like to be added to the waiting list....if you decide to go with matte silver
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

As far as any type of anodizing goes.......If the machine shop delivers a product free of mill marks, anodizing would be ok. You can forget about using Aluminum Black for weathering as it will not penetrate the hard coat anodizing (clear or not).

I did get in on the run and have paid with the understanding that the screen used saber (CG or not CG) was the goal. I prefer the "natural silver" if any but would be fine with bare aluminum so that they can be weathered at the owners discretion.
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

Interested in one hilt pending seeing the prototype.
 
Re: Luke Skywalker's TLJ «CreepyUncle» Lightsaber Pre-order

Interested pending photos of prototype as well. You sound like you're trying to make this perfect.
