So, I'm new to custom blades and I have a few questions.
First, with the Anakin Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber and other builds like it am I to understand that the blade has a string of LEDs surrounded and cushioned by a layer of foam that helps to diffuse the light?
Second, I know that certain models, probably removable blades, have a thin film on the inside of the polycarbonate tube and I'm wondering if it's ONLY certain models or all models including the one mentioned above.
And finally, for a project I have coming up I'd like to replicate the blade of the Anakin Skywalker Force FX Lightsaber, just the blade, and I'm curious if I can do this using the thick-walled 1" polycarbonate and any other parts used in the original build. (Like the foam, if it's used)
And while I certainly don't expect anyone to do the work for me I would appreciate help throwing together a list of materials I'd need in order to replicate this blade. (The hilt is a separate project)
