Luke ANH to MINE

[Ormad Veshok]

hey everyone,
yes another n00b here on the fourms but I hope to change that. A while ago my dad bought me a Luke/Anakin MR FX lightsaber. I was thrilled and like any kid would have went out and fought with it. NOT GOOD. So, read the fourm found the problem and am fixing it. But beside the point I'm gonna take this saber and transform it and make it mine. I'm going for a style like ' Sharad Hett. I relly like the leather around the hilt. So I'm gonna get started. Any advise or comments are greatly appreciated.

Are you just going to customize the hilt, or convert is to a luxeon saber?

Welcome to the forums.

[Ormad Veshok]

yeah i'm gonna convert it to a luxeon

[Skottsaber]

There is quite a big difference between those hilts...
It would take a large amount of modification to get close

[Ormad Veshok]

yeah i know i dont want them to be exact just adding some stuff like the leather around the hilt and little stuff like that

[Azmaria Dei]

using inspiration from both to make it your saber then? ^_^ excellent! be sure to post some pictures for us to gawk at. ^_^

[Ormad Veshok]

ok so i was searching around the fourm and and i was inspired by galen marek's lightsaber. I think around the grip section i'm gonna wrap it in leather and then put grip over top of it. then on the front where the blade power adjust is I'd like to make that biggerand maybe put a fake crystal there or something

wow triple post oh well. I'm gonna be cutting some parts can I use a Dremmel cut off wheel for this?

[Skottsaber]

If you know that you're triple posting, then why not use the edit button...

Yes you can use a dremel, but I'm not sure if you think you're just going to put it back together or something...
It won't work like it did before so be prepared to do some custom electronics moving in there.

Also, if I can see the bladeholder on your saber correctly, it is a Luke ANH. There is not a conversion kit for the Luke and therefore you may have a harder time converting it.


And be

There is an edit button you can use to avoid double/triple posting. To answer your question, yes a dremel cutoff wheel will cut through your material.

Edit: Skott beat me to the punch again!

Aren't the luke and anakin ROTS the same?
