My Lightsaber (In Progress)

[ftsvd]

At the urging of Red for me to attend comicfiesta, I've decided that a Jedi hanging around Imperials & Siths is less stressful than an engineering ensign walking around alone (at least for comicfiesta). As such, I'm in the process of making a costume and a lightsaber... This is my work-in-progress thread.


Nope, no SFX... ;D

Sorry, the costume has been blacked out until I improve on it. (Although there's enough info in the pic to guess the character already... and besides, if all goes well, I may debut this costume at comicfiesta...)

How come the sneak peek of your costume have the trappings of Ashoka Tano, the newly introduced Jedi Padawan from The Clone Wars CGI animated series?

heh heh, this thread only for the lightsaber first... the costume comes later...

The first pic was the electronics test to see if the thing could actually light up... here's the pic for the hilt in progress:


(Yes, that's a milk bottle, and no, I didn't steal it from my son - I bought a new one for myself... ;D )

OK, here's a quick pic - I would suppose it to be 90% done at this point...


Total time from start to finish: 48hours ;D
