Title: Yoda Initiate, Mace Windu Aeon and Midgrade Crystal Blade Plugs Post by: JdiKnhtJMH on June 07, 2017, 09:02:59 AM Just wanted to share my most recent custom projects.

I got a purple saber staff from US and customized both of them to Mace Windus to make a Mace Windu staff. Dont know why, thought itd be neat. Mostly paint and leather, used buttons for the covertec clips, and some fins from TCSS for the grips. I used 9 on each but 10 would have been better I think.

Painted it up, added some leftover pieces of t grips around the button, added a black thumb screw, and cut a piece of blade for a blade plug vertically then stretched it over the emitrter. It came out looking pretty good.

I use US midgrade blades so the crystal will be visible if the hilt is windowed and so far people seem to like them a lot.

I actually had a concept forever ago to try and turn an Initiate V2 into a Yoda lightsaber replica of sorts :P Looks like you beat me to it though. But mine would've had to have the green greebly on the box

But mine would've had to have the green greebly on the box Thanks. If I do one for real I'll probably use shaped hard plastic for the 4 grips and metal for the emitter piece.

Just wpuld've had to take out the battery pack I probably wouldnt attach them with screws, just use some jb weld or something so it looks cleaner and more like the real yoda saber. The trickiest part for me is going to be getting that emitter just right.
