My First MHS Saber finshed. (I think)

[AC Sabers]

About 2 months ago I was shopping in the toy section at wall-mart with my 3 year old son. When we got to the Star Wars toys my son started grabbing at the lightsabers. So I did what any dad would do I got one for my son. When we got home my wife asked what’s up with the lightsaber? So I told her it for my son. She then said, Yah I guessed that but why did you get two of them. One for him and one for me, he can’t have a lightsaber fight with just one =)
Anyway after dueling with my son for about a week I started thinking about how cool would it be to try and make one that looked like what you see in the moves. How little did I know that all this information was out there and what a hobby it is. After many days thinking about it and going over web forums I made my purchase here at TCSS. I thought it would be cool to make a saber inspired from the video game “The Force Unlashed”. I liked Jedi Master Rahm Kota’s lightsaber so that is what I tried to do. Maybe this was a little harder then what I should have started with but what the hell.
I used the video game “The Force Unleashed” and some other websites such as Ro-Lightsabers and youtube to give me ideas as to how to pull this off. I made some changes to the design as I worked just for the fun of it. So that’s why I say this is a Rahm Kota Inspired lightsaber.
I had a lot of fun working on it and I hope you all like it. Thank you for all the information this forum as provided me.

My second saber is in the planning out phase but I think I’m going to try my hand at a ROTJ Luck V2 Dark Side. Got the idea from Ro-Lightsabers and I think it looks very cool.

Well played sir. Excellent first saber, and one of the better Kota's I've seen. +1

Now that's one heck of a first saber!

Awesome work man, the weathering is perfect, the wrap, everything, great job.

very well done. good job! ^_^

Nice job! I like it, different to the actual Kota, but still heavily influenced.
Just a question, why did you put the scale? Unless you also make sabers for dolls

[jin starkiller]

I just used the same format I have seen on other sites explaining the details of the saber. I have no plans on making anything other than a 1 to 1 scale so I guess I should not even list that detail. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thank you everyone for all the positive feedback it make the hobby that much more fun.

It is good to strive high. There are alot of amazing sabers out there.
