Obi-Wan Epi IV Dummy Sabre

[OfficerChar]

I have just completed the costume for my Old Obi-Wan, but I needed a dummy hilt to wear on it. After fruitless attempts at finding a resin caste anywhere, I decided to scout the junk in my workroom. I was amazed that I only had to pick up a very few things at the hardware store to make my dummy. :confused

It's made from a motorcycle hand grip, two wood dowels, black rubber dip, a faucet handle, short piece of chrome sink drain pipe, a three-piece plastic pipe union, aluminum weather strip, old wiper blade insert, two legos, round stick-on furniture dots, acorn nuts and screws, wood screws, metal tapes, and metallic paints.

It's close enough for the uneducated, and should help me get approved as a face character for LFL events... I hope! :angel

If I remember correctly, it was originally speculated that the handle incorporated a motorcycle grip before all the parts were identified.
Given your use of real world items, I'd say you've done a great job at recreating the look. Nice work ! :thumbsup

Very nice yeah I was thinking that , Gee, you used what everyone thought were the right parts

Looks good to me

That doesn't look too bad at all! Good job!
By the way, in case you did not know, the picture you have printed out is of a replica.

I have seen real motorcycle grips made of metal that were cut like the grenades, even.. The proportions were off, but still.
