Interest Veracity Labs - "The Princess" (Leia lightsaber) hilt Interest Thread

[Verity Cosplay]

NAILED IT! Perfect way to handle that.

thanks. We reserve the possibility of doing subsequent runs if demand is there for the main copper.

the rose gold will be an exclusive ONE TIME ONLY offering (presuming we can pull it off). So serial numbering and such will be super important. These will be rare and that is what makes them compelling. So we want to ensure they are special while honoring those here that want one since you guys have been supporting this effort throughout.

Stay tuned as I will soon be working my way through the list in order to ask folks what they want. I suspect some may want one of each, some may want only a copper and some may want only a gold. This will also help us move from person-level interest to hilt quantity level interest.

again. NO money will be collected until these are done and shipping. The team is fronting all the costs for producing and recouping through sales (Same as the Hero). These will have no down payment or anything.

Yes! While I'm waiting for dimensions to be finalized I'll be adjusting it to accommodate CFX and GHv3. Additionally, I'll be working on simple chassis's for those with a tighter budget.

Wow, fantastic work in those screenshots. Really coming along nice.
Any chance that it might also accommodate that new verso soundboard?
No idea how feasible that is, I've never done a chassis install before so I don't know how any of them fit in! But I'm sitting on a couple versos for future projects.
And thanks for considering the budget friendly option as well.

I believe suntzu707 is planning to support all the main vogue boards. CFX, Proffie, GH, Verso, etc.

I'll let Suntzu confirm.

 

[CGClone]

Definitely interested!

 

[Chase265]

Definitely interested in one

Along with a crystal chamber chassis I'm making simply chassis's as well for Proffie, Cfx, GHv3, and yes, Verso.

Just re-read your comment, thanks for the compliment! Trying to put just as much heart n soul into this as Bryan and Verity

Sorry guys, I feel as though I have been a bit out of it... Adam has been spearheading this build, though I’ve added my 2¢ when able.

( My wife and I are in the process of buying our first home... during a very, very strange time to be sure.)

suntzu707 I love the progress on the chamber & chassis!

It’s a relief to see someone taking up and running with what’s been started.

I will say, that I do personally respond to NoSloppy ’s feedback. I would like to see a chamber cowl with elements that mirror the exterior. Of course, there is plenty of leeway there... and there’s also even a possibility of multiple options! If folks choose to print their own the crystal chamber cage could have some variation.

 

[Verity Cosplay]

'Tis true. The obsession of driving Leia forward is coming from me. Hehehehe.

sorry not sorry. Lol.

 

[suntzu707]

BRRogers Glad you mentioned NoSloppy because I didn't see his post.
I'd be lying if I said the cage doesn't feel out of place to me lol
Do I like it? Yeah, but it would do better somewhere else

NoSloppy I like your idea, so I'm going to try that out!

I too would prefer if the chamber mirrored the design of the hilt a little more. It's already fantastic but that would make me even more excited.

Perhaps a pattern inspired by art deco glassware, architecture, or something would be fitting. It would fit the design well, but need not mirror it specifically

At this point I have messaged every interested party to help refine the first post. Just waiting hear back from everyone and I can finish cleaning up the first post / signup and we'll have a better sense of the size of the limited rose gold run and of the main copper ones.

Just a reminder to check your messages and see if you have something from me.

If I have missed anyone and you don't have a message from me send me a message and I will try to reconcile.

 

[JoeSheep]

Oops. Was about to message you saying you missed me but going back through the pages I guess my interest never got posted. So, I’m interested. Sorry for the delay.

Copper (how many; 0+)
Or rose gold (0-1)?

 

[arcana]

In for rose gold 1

 

[JoeSheep]

In for 1 copper

Main first post almost cleaned up.

still waiting to hear back from a number of folks.

based on the current rose gold, I am thinking about capping at 42. There are two good reasons for that:

1.) number of years from A New Hope (Leia's first on-screen appearance) and Rise of Skywalker (her hilt shown; her death; etc.)

2.) it is the ULTIMATE answer (sorry jumping fandoms).

how do folks think about that?

Pretty fun reasoning! Good easy number.
42 has a simple obvious appeal, which may be better than something more niche like 35 (aby, year of leia's death) or 56 (year of Carrie's birth) of 60 (one hilt for each year of her life), though those are fun options also if you simply wanted to consider alternatives. 42 is solid cant complain!
