Oh my gosh, talk about optical illusions, it looked like a hole to me because the far side lit up with the flash... but a clear dome would do the same thing right?
Magic of Myth ( MoM ) Luke RotJ Hero ( cave build ) lightsaber research, images, reference, & collaborative model builder's discussion.
- Thread starter BRRogers
- Start date
Noted: For the sake of the Fx build and the box reveal on the interior we are going for a pivoting single switch and dual activation. We will likely machine it to appear like they are separated though.
For the arrows... it would be fairly easy to make a separate plate with the skewed arrows as well as an ideal arrow position.
For purposes of the model assets I think both will be included but not sure about future runs what would be offered. That’s all still fleshing out
Here’s why it is possible though:
Rotate-able arrows and no need to glue. (Mechanically set)

I think these pommel updates look really good.

Tom was right I did notice the shallow dimple and it's not a drop of superglue
... it's quite apparent in some pictures, even in this thread :
Searching through my archive I also found these 2 images which have not been posted in this thread yet, as far as I can tell ... I did
enhance them slightly in photoshop :

I'm biased, but I think it's best idealized Luke saber.
There will be a broad discussion regarding that before we commit to anything specifically.
drizzt1234 and I have been focused on making the model in a way that is FX ready, but with all the accoutrements to dress it as a shelf queen and be accurate if desired.
As it stands now: it wouldn’t be too difficult to turn it into a static piece but the methodology is what is in question. Unibody is possible but I don’t know if we would choose that route as the setup is quite different.
That also tends to be Anakin Starkiller ’s specialty especially with the Hero... so we will discuss his plans. We don’t want anyone to feel like they’re being sheparded into a camp they don’t want to be in.
But for example. If we get the model visually spot on, then produced it hollow for FX.
It would come with everything you would need to make it at least *look* static. And if you wanted the unibody feel, there’s the discussion of manufacturing an aluminum buck to fit inside which might actually be cheaper for us to do.
So it’s still on the table: and there’s a broad discussion forthcoming
Also if it hasn’t been mentioned before: once we are done and a run is attempted (or not) the assets will become available open source. So this model could feasibly become whatever y’all want via open-source

Here's a fun question: I've noticed, especially on the brass neck and emitter, that the saber has lighter tones in the corners of the flanges, and darker tones on the flat surfaces. Do we think this is a dusting of paint or tarnish from being handled? (see chaim's post for close-ups)
BR is doing a great job of overlays helping me make corrections.
Here is where we are right now:
