I'm working on a sink tube build as a gift for a little girl who loves Ahsoka. It is going pretty well, but I'm not happy with the pommel.

I've got a spare acerocket obi wan I could use (with a TCSS adapter) but I wanted to save that for something else and it is not quite exactly like Ahsoka's pommel.

I had a plastic piece from a saber my son built at Disney a couple years ago which looks more like Ahsoka's. I modified it a bit and painted it silver, but while it looks pretty good, it looks more grey then chrome.

The rest of the hilt is coming out so well I really want to "nail" the pommel as nicely as I can. I've searched all over for a faucet which might work, but alas no luck so far.

I know others out there have done some Ahsoka builds in the past. Any suggestions? I've attached a pic as a reference for what i'm going for. I realize getting it EXACT without a machinist (is that what they're called?) at my disposal is impossible, but I want to see if there is some other option I'm missing. Thanks!

How about using Choke Style 3 with pommel style 4 attached to your adapter?

MPS Pommel style 3 v1 is more what I'm looking for, but I need a "rounded" end to it. That choke style would make it too long, but thanks for the suggestion!

Hmmm....I wonder if Tim could mod Pommel style 3 v1 so it would accept Pommel style 2? I guess I'll email him to ask!

my first suggestion woul dbe to seek out an Ace Rocket OBI TPM pommel..

while they were very 'limited' in numbers.. you might be able to buy on on ebay..o ron another hilt and re-use it?

then just have the ring (knobs) turned down a bit?


Did someone not read the original post carefully? :p

Well Tim cannot do this mod right now. :-(

I'm tempted to see if I can figure out a way to make it work on my own.

If you lose the cube ring and strip the black off your OB1, it looks surprisingly not bad.

If you're concerned that the two halves don't match up perfectly, you can put an MHS tonfa pommel ring in there and that gives it enough separation to look decent, IMO, of course. ;)
