Hmm, another GB & SW fan? Sweet. I’ve been in to Starwars big time lately! I’ve working on three light sabers. I have only gotten two done, here are some pictures of em’.
I have built a couple of lightsabers and am working on a third.
This is the first one I built all out of found parts… no power tools invovlved… this was before my days with a dremmel. It’s a big sucker too… Kind of a longsword type of deal… a two hander…
And this one I modeled more after the classic luke saber… AND I challenged myself to build it in only 24 hours (parts shopping excluded). I made it in under 24!
Very nice. i want to buy one from galacticarms.com. they have some nice sabers. How do you make one? My friend made a couble out of those metal things you put on the wheels of a BMX bike to do tricks.
PVJ, did you change out the butt of your MR FX saber? In fact, most of your detail parts look different than those on my MR FX saber. Your’s is the Anakin/Luke saber, used originally in Ep IV, right?
Seeing these is making me want to go out and build my own sabers. Unforunately, it’ll have to wait until I have more time & money, and after I’m done with the GB stuff.
For the record, I’m more of a fan of SW (absolute favorite movie, period), but when it comes to the coolness of the props, I think GB wins (though a good saber can be pretty sweet).
Nope, I didn’t change a thing on my FX saber. It is a Luke Skywalker ESB saber. The one you have is most likely the Anikin EP. III saber. The one from the original trilogy (Ep. 4, 5) was made from an antique Graflex flash gun which is what mine is made from as well. The one from Ep. III, which is supposed to be the same saber, was custom machined and quite different in the details while maintaining the same feel overall.
But.. It’s supposed to be Luke’s from Episode IV! Those jerks.. It was the display, so I can see it having been switched by accident? Or was it! :x Good thing Suncoast went out of business, or I’d go back in and slash me down some padawans!
