The Acolyte: Master Sol's lightsaber reference thread

[EarnestPenguin]

+1! I've been watching this thread with great interest and would absolutely be in for one if you do a run.

The sample is ready, with both steel and aluminum shrouds for tests.
I'll get back after receiving from the factory

The black lathed under layer is a nice nod to the Phantom Menace sabers. I wish there was a separate emitter part but I definitely see the design reference, which I absolutely love

Sorry, Just a machinist’s nitpick- the black section is “turned” on a lathe. It’s just the name of the machine, not the action.

I was actually shocked when I received your Qimir Lightsaber, Reel Fakes. I knew the Acolyte sabers were bigger, but damn.

I'll finish to assemble the chassis and take some nice shots after

Looks great!

«SQUID» Sol's lightsaber from "Acolyte" replica (by Lukyanov) [pre-orders]

First of all, the base model of the hilt was reverse engineered by roygilsing from several images, using the stand from tomleech (that was officially used during exhibitions) as reference for the accurate size. You can see the overlay image of my CAD model and Roy's renders on pictures below...
