Title: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Master Rel on December 01, 2012, 04:19:47 PM Even if it is beyond your skills and or fundage.
The image that is burned into your brain pan...the one you really really want, even if it is unrealistic. That said, I do mean as a prop or costume piece...so a full scale Madcat or Gundam is not what I am talking about :-\ A special saber that would be too difficult/expensive for our favorite saber makers, Ultra Sabers, to produce for example. Or perhaps a special blaster, cybernetic hand, etc. What is that image that haunts your prop dreams? Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

I just think that this is awesome. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Master Rel on December 01, 2012, 04:40:03 PM ([url]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/323/5/9/sentinal_offhand_lightsaber_by_cazaarmory-d5ljtng.jpg[/url]) I just think that this is awesome. That is interesting. Any plans to bring this to light? Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

That might actually not be too hard to do for an experienced machinist. putting sound in that would be the more difficult. having that as one solid pommel would be easier. it would definitely be a one off piece though. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Frizzenflyer on December 01, 2012, 04:51:19 PM I am an experienced machinist, that would require CNC Machines, and I do not have one of my own. I would cast the pommel. unfortunately I do not have the equipment required to cast metal. so for the Time being it is beyond my means.
Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Saint on December 01, 2012, 04:57:58 PM I'd love to see more nickle options; full hilts, emitters, pommels, switches...everything! ;-) It just looks so rich...
Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Master Rel on December 01, 2012, 05:07:11 PM I have had several calling out to me and are on the short list to do, like the Darth Nihl style saber.
One of our newer forumites has made one http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3018.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3018.0) Well done! This was most welcome as it has convinced me to modify the Nihl design. The original is design (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071224034822/starwars/images/thumb/6/68/Nihlprofile.jpg/250px-Nihlprofile.jpg) My thought is to clean up the design for a more classic Chinese design (http://www.swordsoftheeast.com/ProductImages/paulchen/musashi-Hand_Forged_Pudao.jpg) (http://www.gunapp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/sword_puDao.jpg) Not the wide blade but rather the equal length hilt and blade. :) Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

I would cast the pommel. unfortunately I do not have the equipment required to cast metal. so for the Time being it is beyond my means. yeah, meant to say CNC machinist. 7 Axis CNC would be able to rock that out. 3 Axis might even be able to pull it off. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Frizzenflyer on December 01, 2012, 07:21:08 PM yeah, none of my personal machines are CNC.

Agreed...that color and quality is quite nice indeed. :D Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Manroon on December 01, 2012, 08:02:10 PM I would like a converted Graflex, moderate to heavily customized, to pair with my custom Heiland. I likely won't do it though, as the cost of a Graflex coupled with my desire to upgrade past Hasbro level on the Luke ANH someday, would lend any Graflex Conversion to that task, or perhaps an ANH-ESB Hybrid, as I have seen one or two that looked really nice.
I would also love to get my hands on an A-280 Rebel Rifle, or one of the big long Imp numbers, as well as an all metal E-11 with working folding stock. But the 280 would be my primary desire on the blaster front. I'd also really like a Star Trek Assault Phaser, like the Star Trek VI version, and a First Contact style rifle. No foregrip. That rifle was a beast. Unfortunately, even kits for it are very expensive, and a finished rifle is in the 4 digit range. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Oramac on December 02, 2012, 05:41:28 PM Since this is Star Wars and is totally fictional, I always had this vision of a pair of gloves with tiny emitters built into the palm and fingers, to allow half-swording a lightsaber, and also to grab an opponents blade. Imagine their surprise!!

Most things like that I see are all misproportioned, but that looks just about right. Maybe the forks are a tad short, but really, it's incredible.

Post by: Manroon on December 04, 2012, 12:06:41 AM But wouldn't the forks make a higher speed version pretty unsafe?

Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Manroon on December 04, 2012, 01:37:40 AM I would want both of those. The Wraith more so though, I've always liked that design.
Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: RLYHYPERGUY on December 04, 2012, 02:06:07 AM I've always wanted the Firebrand hilt style from Jedi Academy.
(http://www.sitharchives.com/other/images/jka/firebrand.jpg) It's so beautiful in its simplicity. I love it. However, I knew I had the perfect lightsaber when I first held my Prophecy. Ironic, since I've always hated the Anakin design. It just feels so perfect though. If I were ever going to storm a space station that could destroy planets, it would be with my Prophecy. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Manroon on December 04, 2012, 02:43:16 AM I can safely say I would join you with mine. There are other designs I'd prefer to have with me in a fight, I think, but I would feel very good with my Prophecy in hand.

That a concussion grenade launcher? Not this time.... *sparks bayonet* Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Frizzenflyer on December 04, 2012, 07:44:16 PM company fix bayonets!
*lightsabers turning on* CHARGE! that would be terrifyingly awesome! Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Bern Sal Becca on March 20, 2013, 07:28:37 PM I wish i had a design drawn up for this, hell i wish i did have it, but my nickname is Bear, and my Ideal lightsaber design that calls out to me would resemble a bear.
The pommel would be 2 bear paws with the claws extending down, the hilt would be drawn or carved to resemble a a bears body, slightly widening in the middle, the emitter would be a bears head with an open mouth roaring with the blade coming out of the open mouth. The bears arms would be upraised on each side of the blade acting as a guard Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Sandtracker on March 20, 2013, 08:07:17 PM 9. Anakin ROTS? Actually that's Vader's from ROTJ, I thinkAll of the Skywalker's are similiar though so, it is hard to know the different variations. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Waxman on March 20, 2013, 08:22:56 PM I would show a discontinued saber design from Park Sabers that I'm still kicking myself for not purchasing but I don't think it's allowed on the forums. :-\

Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Jabari on March 22, 2013, 05:53:56 PM The glowing Starkiller hilt and the Temple Guard saberstaff.
I know how I'd make both...if I knew how to wire an EL sheet into the saber and had money for machined parts, etc. Starkiller: custom machined emitter and pommel polycarbonate hilt with white EL sheet inside aluminum rings and shrouds red switch silver blade Temple Guard: yellow bladed Initiate saberstaff 8 inch extension in the middle overlapping shrouds on each end (ideally metal) glowing EL highlights? Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Devin_Raan on March 22, 2013, 06:32:07 PM I wish I could draw good enough to out the design for a hilt on paper.

Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Azriel95 on March 24, 2013, 04:12:00 AM I'm very interested in making a polycarbonate or steele bodied curved-handle lightsaber with a violet/purple blade. Black and silver details inlayed in the hilt, a claw or curved point extension off of the back end and a pointed tip similar to Dooku's on the blade end, extending a bit over the blade.
Noooo idea how to make it though, I've never attempted anything so technical and am having a lot of trouble finding any advice or tips on making curved-handle sabers. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: B1ondeange1 on March 25, 2013, 12:10:21 PM i has a picture of my design
(http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp195/b1ondeange1/lightsaberdesign001_zps478052f9.jpg) better yet, i have a 3d model ive made of it! (http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp195/b1ondeange1/temporary_zpsa0f08481.jpg) its a bit rough at the moment, still has a fair bit of work to be done. pommel came out a bit bigger than id planned, but oh well! Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: Des Rado on March 31, 2013, 01:58:09 AM Probably impossible due to mechanics, but I've wanted a double ended saber (here's the kicker) with a blade running through the middle (for blocking purposes.) I understand this would make wielding it really bad.
Also, a light-chuck (nun-chuck) lol http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/084/4/f/Lightsaber_Nunchuck_Design_by_hapajedi.jpg (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/084/4/f/Lightsaber_Nunchuck_Design_by_hapajedi.jpg) An Ivy-esque light saber whip that can bend. I guess it would function more like force lightning holding the saber together? http://fdzeta.com/imgcache/6760.imgcache.jpg (http://fdzeta.com/imgcache/6760.imgcache.jpg) And most of all, a moonlight great sword from Demon's Souls. :'( So beautiful. http://demonssouls.wdfiles.com/local--files/swords/lsom-on-hand-large.jpg (http://demonssouls.wdfiles.com/local--files/swords/lsom-on-hand-large.jpg) Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

I like this. It has a nice Old Republic feel to it. It reminds me of the simple style of the first saber you get in the SWTOR game. But at the same time, it has a nice reference to a very familiar hilt to it. I'd say go for it. Especially if you can get those custom parts machined.

It's solid and flexible as needed. Bonus, it can spit venom! Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

It would be like three seperate sabers, one on each end and one in the middle. Each would have their own LED module. The switch and batteries would have to be external in some sort of a box or clamp. The body would have to be something similar to the shroud on the Councilar (I know I spelled that wrong). It would not be easy or cheap, but I can see it possible. The best dreams are the ones that you can make come true! Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you? Post by: chicago.jedi on April 01, 2013, 03:05:26 AM What saber/weapon design is calling me? I have an idea in my head of a very aristocratic Jedi. I invision him as a prince from the Old Republic who studied the Jedi ways and then returned to rule is home world. This character would look very regal and elegant. His dress would not be that of the earth tone tunic but long flowing robes of blue, red and purple. He would have metalic armor with jeweled accents. His persona would scream royalty as soon as you saw him. He would be the King Arthur of the Star Wars galaxy.
The final piece would be a saber of equal royalty. Long polished silver hilt, like the Arbiter, but it would have elaborate engraving, like the engraving you see on old Colt revolvers and Winchester lever actions from the 1800's. This costume/character would have all of the prestige of a Sith Lord but with a lightside attitude. Title: Re: What saber/weapon design is calling out to you?

Post by: Darth Kitsune on April 15, 2013, 01:54:52 AM To me, it looks terribly uncomfortable to hold. I'd imagine those "blades" would be difficult to hold without digging into your hands over time. Even if they are thick. Of course, there are gloves for that.
