So rather than continuing to hijack
Valor's thread here:
ROS *Spoiler* Saber design
I have made sufficient progress to start putting feelers out to gauge interest in a hilt run for this saber.
many thanks to
Valor for getting us a good and healthy start.
having procured
Valor's initial model, I have been studiously making adjustments and converting the model to a machinable set of structures for an FX based saber run.
In the same vein as the "MoM of all Heroes" hilt,
BRRogers and I are teaming up with Lewis (
Malaki Skywalker) from 7 Chambers to look at producing this hilt.
based on a rough cut the internal cavity would be 1.15" for electronics components (and incidentally chassis modules exist at this size). These are all subject to change however as we continue design.
we would be looking to machine this from 7075 just like the "MoM of All Heroes" and we would be adding the coppery accents using rose gold plating. Based on our research it also appears that the flatter parts of the grip fins that are not ridged actually look to be pearl like iridescent and as such we're looking at doing mother of pearl inlay for these pieces. This all supports the saber of a princess and royalty.
more details to follow as we work out design and logistics and timing.
caveat: we know some other are also racing to produce this design, so this will be a competitive market however we think with the precious material elements as well as
BRRogers' and my obsession for detail, we think we will have a compelling offering.
so now the for rub. We need to understand what sort of demand there might be for such a run, so if you have interest, please chime in here! This will help drive our efforts.
please speak up if you are interested in us doing a run of this and would want one.
