I am.


So far I'm only missing the parts in red. I'm also going to use an old broken flashlight tip to glue into the emitter.

Oh and it's about 30cm in lenght - The body is chrome, accessories are black.

I have one of those Force FX ones sitting up on my desk.
2005-05-07, 7:11 PM #6
Impressive... but does it have a blade?

Make a blade that doesn't come to a point like those plastic ones.
Very funny Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

Whatever happened to that Rod-Wan Dettrod(sp?) guy who had a lightsaber and used to dress up for the showcase forum?

Where's the pride in that? Every Jedi must construct his own unique lightsaber.

I've built my own lightsaber years ago.
It doesn't look very good but every time I try to build a new one I can't because I like my old one so much.
Sorry for the lousy German

I want to know this too, because he released a unfinished version of the greatest JK mod (IMO) in existance.

I admit that I would love to build one.
But can you put on a blade?

You've just given me something to do today. *runs off to the building site that I nick things from* I mean, I don't.
Sneaky sneaks. I'm actually a werewolf. Woof.

Eh, they don't look that realistic anyways. Even the forceFX series don't look real. Might as well just photoshop it. Instead of spending 150-200$ on a replica with a blade that thousands of people already have, I spent ten bucks on materials to build my own. And I gotta tell you, it's alot of fun to build it!

The best thing for a blade is thin aluminum or steel tubing. Shower curtain tubing works well, they usually come in 3 ft to 1 meter lengths. You can fill that with hard expandable foam and add more weight to the saber handle, so the center of gravity is at the handle.

I'm contemplating putting electronics, wires, a lens, an a few stones placed inside the tubes to give them a realistic weight balance.

I wouldn't bother unless you want to open it up and show people. It's not going to be much different than a steel weight.

I made a lightsaber hilt as my final project in Cermaics my senior year of high school. I got an A+.

I was on that team, as a mapper. If I recall correctly, it was made up of myself, Rod-Wan, Em Playa (he went by [L0rD]ArCh0n back then), and I think Jenny Kitty. After STUN was released, some of us got permission to work on SBX, but nothing ever came from that.
