I finally decided to do a Darth Sidious build using an Ultrasaber. This is a build that I've wanted for a while, and I decided after making my Kanan saber that I could find a way to do this using a US initiate as the base. I decided to go with one with windows as well just to add a little extra character. I made sure to get one with the open ended pommel so I could add something special, and also got a blade with a bullet tip for that. Here's my materials after the first painting Then here it is with the tape removed. I only just started cutting the metal for the shroud before dark so I didnt get to finish it, but you can kind of see the outline there. I cut off the blade tip and painted it gold, then cut some grooves into the sides and super glued it into the pommel, which was just right to fit the blade tip and blade stock around it. Here's what it looks like right now without the shroud. Tomorrow I can hopefully finish machining the shroud, then I'm going to paint it a dark gold/copper color, drill holes for the gold covertech wheel and the two jeweled screws, pop it on, and the Sidious saber will be complete.

Great work there, Jdi. Love your attention to detail and the point tip as a pommel is a really unique idea and it's good looking. Will follow this customization work really closely. Have a point.

Wow, that thing is pretty slick. Looks quite a bit like Sidious' saber for sure. Very cool.

Thanks for the update, Jdi. The shroud work is look really good along with the gold covertech wheel. It's looking more and more like Sidious' saber.
