Hi guys!
After reading the forums a few days I decided to build my own lightsaber
I don't have high standards for this saber, I will mostly stare at my hilt and pray to it or so ^^
I have read the noob-thread but I still have some questions.
First of all, I am from Austria (you know, Wiener Schnitzel ) and I only found one post in the forums, saying that the shipping to UK was ~60$ which I am ok with, I just want to know if it is still the price for international shipping.
My second question is, is it possible to paint the saber parts with black/grey paint from an aerosol can and sand it down again so that it looks like its wheathered? Or are there better techniques to do this?
Then I have a few questions about the parts, here's a list with the parts I would buy.
this bladeholder with a heatsink
this extension, just to make the saber a little bit longer
this hilt, but unfortunately I don't really get what switch/hole I should take
this pommel, I think I need something to cover the bottom too?
And ofc I would by the parts explained in the noob guide, but I'm not really sure what battery pack/holder I should buy. And if I buy a battery pack, is there a possibility to charge it with austrian/german sockets?
And what exactly is the purpose of the drill and tap set and the tap handle linked in the guide? I assume the drill is a normal 8mm drill for steel? I would be happy to get some clarifications about this and hope to buy my stuff very soon
Best regards,
Zexion
