Lord Zen's Next Saber

[Lord Zen]

Hi All,

Thought I'd start a post about my next saber, which might not proceed at a particularly rapid rate and will take some time to complete.
For this project I decided that I would create a tribute/homage/replica of my favourite saber from the SW universe - and I've checked with the original designer to check that they are cool with this.

At this stage I'm am just beginning to collect the bits and pieces needed:






So, 10points and a warm sense of satisfaction for anyone that correctly guesses what saber this might be...

The Derelict is an awesome saber. A crytal chamber will really set it over the top.

I will be watching this.

I think it's an amazing testament to Slothfurnace's artistic ability that he's created the most-replicated saber design, apart from the on-screen sabers.

Good luck with that build. I've got one in my to-do list as well.

Also in my to-do list ^^

Looking forward your progress on that one

Hi All,

So 10 points to everyone who correctly guessed that this will be paying honour to Slothfurnace and his Derelict design, and additional bonus points for anyone who guessed it will be a Derelict Reveal

This build is going to take some time to do, with only a couple of hours free each week to spend on it - so I'm not anticipating regular update posts on this, but let's see how things go.

I am guessing it will be a starkiller

I'm still in the collecting bits and pieces and figuring out how all this going to go together stage.
However that doesn't mean I haven't been tempted to do a couple of small, little things to start off - so thought I would share a photo

Just cut some photo-etched hex-mesh and glued it behind the glass eye. One day this will be illuminated by a cut-through to the main blade.
For me it's the small embellishments, "greebles" and weathering that really makes a difference to a saber:
