Hi all
I am new to this forum and welcome any help or opinions!
Ok, so I saw the Mark Hamill hero "Luke Skywalker" lightsaber from Star Wars and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back come up for sale a little while ago and thought I would like to make me one of those. I have build props before.
The problem I am having is the those grips!
Go here for the BIGGER pictures!

As you can see they appear to be a fairly hard rubber compound that was originally a dark, redish brown colour that was then painted black and is now wearing off on the edges.
I bought a set from TX Studios in Australia but the rubber is a little soft, the bottom thickness is too thick and the up stand of the "T" is not quite high enough! (Apart from that they are perfect! LOL)
Anyway, if anyone had ANY idea of where I ca get a good replica set or even better the material to make my own I would love to hear from you!
Also, I haven't identified the rivets yet.
Thanks everyone!
