I am interested in a rose gold version.
This forum is intended for interest gauging and active runs. Due to the transient nature of this forum, please keep all research and ongoing discussion in one of our main forums so your information is not lost.
Only Premium Members can start a new run.
Can I please amend my interest for the rose gold version over the original copper , thankswe won't be able to commit to pricing for the tiers until we have everything fully quoted, but we DO expect the rose gold limiteds to be about $100-150 more than the standard ones based on our plating quotes.
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 most of the cavity 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 natural copper and a limited set with that copper rose gold plated. 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.

Not gonna lie, with the Starkiller one going on sale, I'm getting super nervous that I'm gonna pass on all of them and end up without a gorgeous Princess saber. Do we have any more details? Verity Cosplay or BRRogers
Still interested in this am double checking if the interests peoples have been updated to the list at all? I just wanted to verify my interests in both colors
I want you to take all the time you need and dont rush anything. And I also want it right now.
What's so hard about that?
All kidding aside...as impatient as we are, these updates actually do make it easier, at least for me. Let's me know it's not forgotten, it's just taking time to get it right. That's cool. Good isn't always fast.
If I wanted a close enough version cranked out I would have gone with Korbanth's. Star Wars is eternal, take the time you need.Sharing a bit of vulnerability for a moment... as some of you may know, during the MoM development, my wife of 12 years took her own life. Leia had already begun design and this hilt was THE one she wanted to see Veracity Labs do more than ANY other.
Part of the time taken here is this hilt (even moreso than the Hero, V2 or any of the others we are working on), has a VERY close tie to my heart.
I may be even admittedly OVER agonizing on every detail and while I don't claim to have the origin sources or any other inside Intel, I can say THIS hilt has been something I have poured my literal heart and soul into.
To that End, yes. I want to see this done RIGHT. I'd rather spend a LONG time making this absolutely as perfect as I am able and bring every bit of knowledge and skill I have to bear on this design. For ME this is more than a run. It's a memorial.
I don't say any of that to play for sympathy or forgiveness on delays... more as an explanation as to why we are not just cranking this out.
