Showoff: WORLD'S 1ST Titanium Luke ROTJ Lightsaber

[Nexus6]

Wow.

The Luke ROTJ Hero is not my favorite saber, but that is SMOKING impressive.

B):thumbsup

That may be the most beautiful saber I have ever seen.

Outstanding job.

Woah...I'm speechless....I would even recommend a carbon fiber blade .

:cheers,

Titanium is my fav alloy and that's one of the most beautiful saber handles I've ever seen.

Great job 5postboy.

 

[Crimsonnaire]

Magnificent.

That is 'Super Elite Edition.'

I think this marks prop history as the very first completed titanium lightsaber replica.

Congratulations, Chen.

 

[Lord_Gita]

Wow... just wow...

 

[AT-AT Luvah]

If ever a Homer drool icon were necessary, it would be now.

That thing is freakin' sexy beyond words.

Grrrlrlrlrlrlrlrllrrlrlrl.

Outta sight saber man. That is frickin sweet eye candy you got there. Nice job and great result for the effort you put in.

How heavy is it?

I imagine it has some weight, since titanium is about twice as heavy as aluminum.

850 grams.

Chen, that's the best version of this saber I've seen. Stunning.

10x stronger then steel ay? DROP IT... Let's see some drop-test before and after pictures??? :lol

J/K the very though of dropping such a beautiful piece makes me shutter.

 

[Got Maul]

great job man . How nice is it to have michael jackson hand model it for you too ..

 

[GeorgeC]

To be honest,

I really don't think this saber LOOKS much better than the other ROTJ Luke's I've seen, BUT what sets it apart are those LEDs.

I'm VERY impressed by those light-up LEDs. :thumbsup

Knowing a little bit about how tough it is to work with titanium and something about its expense (I've read quite a bit on aviation history and the SR-71 Blackbird development "saga"), the creator of this blade was extraordinarily brave and must have been mildly crazy to use the alloy. The stuff's expensive and a bitch to machine even if its strength-to-weight is far superior to most alloys. Kudos. :thumbsup

I'm sure Chen would get a lot of praise from ex-Skunkworks employees on this project... :lol

I'm sure more than a few of them would be wondering WHY a civilian would work a hobby project out in the metal... :confused :lol

 

[Prop Runner]

Titanium to metal is like diamond to carbon...

Beautiful work, sir.

[DCB]

Mmmmmm......titanium saber.

 

[LZeitgeist]

Beautiful work..

 

[Phayze]

amazing.

My wedding ring is titanium, and I'm always amazed at how light and strong it is. Someday, when I win that big lotto jackpot, I'm going to have a titanium rapier and dagger set custom made.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that reaction.

 

[tripoli]

Pretty darn cool to see, incredibley nice job.

 

[blufive]

Wow. That's a beaut.

 

[cayman shen]

The titanium really adds that "not of our galaxy" finish to the project. Awesome.
