Hey peeps,
I just wanted to show of a project of mine. I started with the image of the wampa claw lightsaber from TFA concept art.
First, I had to model the bone itself. After more modeling hours than I'd like to admit, I came to a design I was happy with. After many more hours of printing, sanding, shaping, and painting, I came to this:
Its not perfect, in fact I'll probably make another iteration or three by the time Im ready to call it quits. But it is getting there
Side note, anyone have any tips for painting bone?
Next was the MHS parts, a pretty simple step. I used blade holder 2, a 4" extension, and a whole lot of shroud material.
First layer shroud is just about done
Second and third layers have a long way to go. all of the dremel work is finished, but theres still a lot of hand shaping to do.
the final steps will be holes for the switch and sound, followed by staggered grit mirror polishing.
As you can see, my iteration of this hilt is pretty different than the concept art, but Im liking the way its
The build has a long way still, but feedback is welcome!
