Yoda VD lightsaber discussion

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Yeah--that one is correct.
The 1:12 is not.
That's where it gets weird.
Heating and reshaping will not move the drain plug from center all the way to the edge.

Dont know i see more plausible, the curve to be an add on that reshaping the hole thing with a heat gun.
To an oil pan like this (it 1/24)

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

The whole oil pan is not confirmed--just speculated and has been the closest ever found...in that scale.
But--that 1:24 looks spot on. Just needs to be curved: sanded...whatever....but on a 1:12 scale.

Could always sand off the drain plug and add your own with a bead of epoxy.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Yeah i think the goal is to find one like that in 1/12 maybe 1/16

HermesBlackstar · Dec 10, 2013

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Might not even be a Monogram.
That could be the biggest curve.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

And is it even fro a corvette? The one from the pic is a Chrysler 413 Wedge engine

HermesBlackstar · Dec 10, 2013

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

I'm beginning to question that, too--as previously mentioned.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

What's the size of that oilpan in that picture? The one on my Bolsey Flash based lightsaber is about 34,5mm. Also post some pix when your Lamborghini emitter parts arrive so I won't forget to send you a PM then.

^ Pics ... or it did not happen . . . as a former member used to say :behave

Indeed I too have lightsabers on my dining table since it seems for ever
and an archive box full of components.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Oh....don't worry.
As soon as the nerves in my hands are under control and the new meds work--plenty of build threads

Vader ANH
Vader ESB
Vader ROTJ
Yoda
Luke ANH
Luke ESB
Obi ANH

All are built...just awaiting guts.....

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Yeah I'd like to see some builds with electronics... work in progress shots.

Once I've locked down my OT hilts (minus Vader ANH, ESB... just no interest really...) I want to step up to some electronics.

One day find a mythical Praco, and turn my Yoda Bolsey into a reveal....

and one more question is the pem nut plated or carbon steel, didnt saw the pics in the light have a bluish tint, like carbo steel

Repeat the question

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Yeah I've poked around there... and I'll check it out for info when I need to add... but it kind of struck me like the Original Trilogy vs. Prequels...

Here (RPF) there's a smattering of lightsabers... while a bunch of other cool projects... (O.T.)

But there it's saber overload to the point it's not as cool anymore, heh. (Prequels)

Weird... I know.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Yes, agree... but the yoda is different, when i, by chance, knew that there was a yoda saber made from a flash, i had to have it, i mean is freaking yoda
And on that forum i got the only expanded universe saber i want, Starkillers

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

Oh I'm with you on Yoda... It's one of my favorites simply because of the DV design with the old flash...

don't know starkillers, but if I delve into any Prequel sabers it may just be the Obi saber there's talk of doing a group build on... More because there's an element of building/painting involved.

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

I'm using this one on my build. It's a cast of the kit part, but I don't know what the kit is.

Sym-Cha · Dec 11, 2013

Re: Yoda VD lightsaber question

That must be the same that is on my Bolsey ... it has the dimples on the big side in the exact same place though the other gaps are filled in :confused ... any idea where you got it from?
