Looks like a cool way to repair an iconic saber to me. Wink

Hi Bob Loblaw, I think you may be right...you have a good eye!

Thanks for playing "Guess the Saber" and a point on it's way to you.

(And did I mention I may have a few Oriental inspired hilts coming up too...I didn't? Ok, well keep your eyes open for my new Katana themed collection  Cool )

I have one last picture....look familiar?



You will get to see the rest of this hilt in a future post!
I'm getting a very Saiyan vibe looking at this.

Hello Darth Logos,

I have designed a few hilts for Dragonball Z and Pokémon ( Roll Eyes I know...but it was a requested design) but not a Saiyan universe hilt. This part is definitely from the Star Wars universe and I think Bob Loblaw ^^ knows which saber it's from!

However, I could take a look at designing a Super Saiyan hilt if you'd like. Thanks for looking in. -1 for you.

Some nice staffs FT, and that Star killer with the cut away section, great take to dare i say improve on a classic, inventive as always.

Hello Lord_S_Gray, the Starkiller crystal chamber area was always something that I saw as a "weak point" in the design for a real life metal replica. I had read stories of the "spine" breaking and all the issues on how to grip the saber in a useable manner, so I just tried to enclose the section slightly. It still looks like a Starkiller just not exact.

I modelled the SK (and my upcoming Flexes) to test my progress, the staffs were old designs I did about 3 years ago which I thought needed a Blender 3D "Update". Thanks as always for the positive remarks and I hope you'll enjoy my upcoming stuff, I really went to town with them.

point inbound.

The chamber is a weak point. That's why I fought for the longest time that the crystal selection screen was a cutaway and not the actual design of the saber. After much study, and wasting time in the game turning the camera, I found out that indeed it does have an open chamber. Cry You can imagine my profound disappointment.

Hi Darth Logos, yes the design has always had the full cutaway section but it has grown on me over time...it is just clumsy for a lightsaber. In universe where the materials would make the hilt stronger structurally it works ok but as a real life replica I would only get one as a shelf queen.

Thanks for sharing the picture with a Darksaber blade, I hadn't seen it look like that before.

Exactly this. Same thing with thin necks on sabers.

Hi again Logos....er I may have some bad news for you then if you don't like thin necks or crystal chambers...I have this one to show you all nearer to the release of TRoS...



It's part of my "Master" series I mentioned. I have worked on it over the past 2 months and pretty proud of it. TheDutchman had a sneak peek at my full base model but I have improved on it since then!

Love that emitter piece, For.  When I saw that switch piece, I was thinking Vegetta without seeing any pictures or reading anything

Hi Infinit, thanks...I'm glad you like the emitter but there is a lot more attached to it that you haven't seen yet!

And the switch section has nothing to do with DragonBall Z, let me shine a "Rey" of light as a hint to what it is....think of the new Star Wars film and a broken saber  Wink

Again, Bob Loblaw knows what hilt the switch is from.

Don't get me wrong, it's an iconic look, but the materials aspect annoyed the hell out of me for years in in childhood. Then I gained a greater understanding of material strengths and figured spacey sci-fi-nanium was used so I could accept it. Now those stupid grippies that go down too far on Qui-Gon's saber, that's just deplorable prop design.

My thoughts on this were always just Vader gave him an expendable hilt. Like the toddler beaks it so what ill make a new one kind of thinking.

Regarding that Saiyan hilt concept though i will be excited to see the result of that as well!

Hi Logos, I figured from an early age that the sabers, ships and stuff in Star Wars had some sci-fi-manium (you need to trademark that word!) so the thin neck didn't bug me. It was Luke's ROTJ that inspired me to get a saber (which I modified to turn the lightbulb green - yes an incandescent bulb no LEDs back then!).
When the prequels were made LucasFilm had much better facilities regards to resin props and chrome plating said resin weapons. The Qui-Gon did have a sort of retconned explanation for all those ridges, that being they were "power cells", other than that I thought it was quite elegant. In fact I have a QGJ hilt which I can't name that I am getting parts for an install.

Hi PsychoSith, I know this will sound like heresy but I haven't played TFU 1 or 2 as I couldn't afford many computer games (that and my PS 3 broke which discouraged me from gaming) so I didn't know that much about how Marek got any of his hilts. I just knew it was a "classic" to some people and decided to try pushing my skills modelling it.

I think it helped and if you're interested I have posted a bigger preview of my switch section in my main gallery if you know where to find it. Wink

I'll get to work on a few Super Saiyan/DragonBall Z type designs ok!
