Danny, great job man. What a fully detailed tutorial ! I look forward to when you begin your astromech builders log. Great job on the saber. You can definitely see the love you have for these. It shows in your work.
i have been collecting parts for R2 for 2 years now... i should have started a thread 2 years ago. but i haven't really built or assembled anything yet, i have the book shelfs behind my bench full of boxes. i have a 12ft long, 34" deep closet in my bed room, it has 2 sets of twin doors, the set to the right is FULL of brown boxes of parts.. i am coming close to the end of parts collecting. just a PSI mounts, and electronics and i can build the dome. 2 years is a long time looking at these boxes of parts, i can't wait to build something and have something to show for after this long wait...
Hey, amazing work. This makes my life a lot easier.
Thanks
Dan
Dan, thanks so much for tackling this run. i know it can't be easy. you are a true artist, consider me a HUGE fan. from here on out i want to try and grab every saber you produce, this thing is a beauty and i love how it was built like the screen used one with spinning top. thank you for everything!
You get a standing ovation from me, man! I will be consulting this thread when I begin the weathering & painting of mine. Thank you SO much!
thank you very much! what i love about this site is the community. these guys ( and gals) on here have no problem sharing information. some sites dont want to share a thing (especially the drag racing clubs i belong to) I am so welcomed here i forgot that some internet clubs can be friendly!
if it wasn't for this community with all its members, the parts runners, the electronic guru's, the saber smiths, the historians... what would we be? i love how we all come together and make it happen, thats what i love about this saber too. when explaining to my mom (she's my biggest fan) i explained how each part was made by someone else, and that someone could be located on the other side of the world!
thats one of my favorite things about collecting props, the story telling. telling people which part was made by whom, what its original purpose was... this saber project had alot of people involved to make it work. mom and dad were amazed there was a place online where all these fans come together and make it happen. and she even told me, i should be very thankful for all those people who put all the work into making this happen. and i truly am thankful, i look forward to the next project!!
