Hello everyone. Apologies if you get tired of seeing Darth_Plexus post threads everywhere. But Im really into the whole saber building process. It keeps me... Busy..
But to the point. I was wondering if there are ways or people with experience that can give me some tips on building a static hilt, aka simply a hilt with no electronics, but a very believeable design. Some MR and Hasbro hilts are scaled and sections are wider to fit the electronics in them. For example. The choke of the Luke ROTJ in the movie, is wayyy thinner than the Force fx build.
I'd like to make my own variant of a Luke ROTJ or Obi-wan ROTS/ANH hilt, but have the parts not be so wide. Are there any pieces that anyone knows of? Where would I get them? Home Depot, Lowes, a site, etc? I know some people build hilts from sink, pipe and washers etc. and they look noticeably different, but similar to the movie.
I still want to use some parts from TCSS, so Im not trying to shut them out or give negative rep to, Its just a question that will significantly help my movie.. Any help is appreciated.
