Title: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: Jedi Knight Matatabi on April 22, 2014, 10:15:07 PM Saw this online.
(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o141/Jay-gon_Jinn/51af5753.jpg) This could be easily made with any lightsaber, a consular shroud (anodized gold), archon emitter (minus the neck), and a sanded down guardian pommel. Was thinking of using the Azure Reaper but idk if gold/silver/blue would look right. What do you guys think?

Title: Re: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: The 97th Acolyte on April 22, 2014, 10:53:06 PM Could use Overlord emitter. Or Arbiter. An Arbiter would work pretty well with this, leaving just the shroud and the pommel to get. The blue might look pretty cool though... :P

Then if it turns out ok I might just have my shroud sent in to be anodized.

Unfortunately I don't think US offers an anodizing service since the hilts come to them anodized already. It's a nice design.

I'll either see if TCSS will do it for me if I send in the shroud, or I'll find some place local to do it.Title: Re: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: Ninja-Jedi on April 24, 2014, 01:23:04 AM for what it might cost to anodize it might be cheaper to order 1ft section of brass tube
Title: Re: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: Darth Kitsune on April 25, 2014, 12:24:58 PM Yeah, that's not really gold. That's brass, and it would be cheaper to just have them machine brass parts. In fact, you could make them yourself if you wanted to, by picking up some brass sink piping from your local hardware store, sanding off the "Chroming" from it (doesn't take much work at all), and then cutting it to the desired shape/shroud.
Title: Re: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: Relan Tarel jedi kinght on May 07, 2014, 04:02:14 AM The problem is that the brass sink tubes don't fit over the ultrasabers hilts unless you have a split in the sink tube and then it can be too wide needing screws to hold the two parts togather
Title: Re: Gold lightsaber concept Post by: Darth Kitsune on May 07, 2014, 02:44:15 PM You can find ones that do. I have a few of them myself. You just need to look for one with the right diameter. They're also usually not going to be outright brass unless you special order it that way. Usually, you have to go to the local hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc) and buy the sink tubing there, which appears to be chromed. Then you have to remove the layers of chrome by sanding it until you get to the brass.
