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   Undecided

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?

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.

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.

I'd love to see more nickle options; full hilts, emitters, pommels, switches...everything!  ;-)  It just looks so rich...

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

Well done!

This was most welcome as it has convinced me to modify the Nihl design.

The original is design



My thought is to clean up the design for a more classic Chinese design




Not the wide blade but rather the equal length hilt and blade.

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.

Agreed...that color and quality is quite nice indeed.

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.
