Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: srams on March 25, 2013, 02:47:43 AM That is SO cool! I love the leather too! I also love the thumb screw...
suggestion: perhaps add something minor to the emitter like a small shroud...but other than that its awesome! Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: swords4two on March 25, 2013, 03:49:33 AM I love it! Great job with the leather wrap and distressing of the hilt! and adding the holes in the emitter! everyone love more light! Point for you!

The saber looks GREAT!

Thanks Not tutorials but I make a lot of my own out of PVC PM me if you have questions Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: Zren Tobas on March 25, 2013, 07:18:20 PM Nice Aeon. I like everything about it so far. I say do a slanted emitter so two of the front windows still shows. That would look cool.
Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: Koda on March 26, 2013, 02:44:02 AM AWESOME work! How did you do the handle wrap? The saber looks GREAT! Hey Vex - I was going to follow the leather tutorial on here, but when I went to the leather store and explained what I wanted to do the guy that worked there mad a great suggestion. He told me that there was stretchy leather, and that is what I used. The saber is 4.25" inches around I cut leather about 4" sewed it up and slid it on. I used the O-rings to hide the cut ends of the leather. Hope this helps Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: chicago.jedi on March 27, 2013, 01:37:41 AM That Looks AWASOME! I can't stop looking at it. Truely outstanding job. It looks like a lightsaber that was found in an ancient tomb. A weapon from the Jedi of old.
One thing that I notice is that it is not a "safe" modifiaction that can be undone if you did not like the result. You went all of the way without looking back. Point for total commitment.

Really well done, it looks great, was it hard trying to drill those holes in the emitter straite?. Anyway it looks awesome, i bet you can't stop looking at it, i know i can't

It was not hard to make the wholes b/c I had a friend with a drill press and with the right bit it went right though no problem... The hardest part was adding the hook at the end of the saber. We had to drill one big hole half way though for the nut the a smaller whole for the hook. I still want to add a slit to the emitter just have to find a way to do it. Title: Re: My first custom Aeon Post by: Darth Sabre on March 29, 2013, 07:55:30 PM Outright fantastic.
This really looks the battle-worn saber it should be. Your customization makes it so much more realistic, in my opinion, and it must FEEL amazing! Great Job and my deepest respect! |
