I'm a big fan of the new lightsaber design so i thought i'd have a crack at making one myself. This is my first post so i'm sorry if i've made any faux pas. The trailer was a little dark so a lot of the detail is an interpretation.
I started with a 3D model in Maya and asked a friend of mine with a Zortrax M200 to print it out for me.
The print came out perfectly.
With a bit of sanding and primer it started looking really nice.
Time to mold! always a nerve racking time for me, but it came out great.
I dusted the inside of the mold with aluminium powder to cold cast it and give it a great metallic finish. A lick of paint and some light weathering and i was pretty happy with the result. has a nice satisfying weight in the hand.
