'Looks like you've got some hard-core metalwork modding in your future, asidrave.

 

[ejoker]

not a star wars fan, but that would look cool.
take a look at this - mod it while you're at it?

 

[asidrave]

LOL.....

ok...maybe i didnt explain clearly.

im trying to get that look wrapped on a chuck....im trying to hunt down a 3d image of that lightsaber hilt. i can envision it....just cant find the image of it

 

[asidrave]

ok...here is a 3d model of it....

hmm I think it might look odd trying to unwrap it onto a flat image just so it can be wrapped back onto a chuck..not to mention that the protrusions that make the saber handle what it is would look a little off...

Honestly what I would do probably is possibly get a plain silver chuck..and then get the extra parts and the knock off replica parts from somewhere like thecustomsabershop (look in the graflex/heiland section (since it's a heiland modified flash) and the grips section) and fit them over the chuck itself to retain the look and feel with the body protrusions...but I'm sure I'm making it more complicated than need be..

I agree with Drozd, you'd be best off with a plain Chuck and then add-ons. Check out this site for parts: The Custom Saber Shop

Here's what a flat print looks like:

DUDE....that looks great

thats about 90% of what i was envisioning...just a bit more defined and detailed.

believe me....i dont expect an exact representation....but wow...that is close

Here's a mock I did a couple months ago for someone. Can't remember who it was.

Having Vader's helmet on there makes me wonder how a Chuck would look if the whole thing was done up to look like Vader's complete suit? Heck, R2D2 would prolly be cool on a Chuck but I doubt the chuck's shape would accurately capture the princess's assets!

Houdini that is AWESOME! LOL

You are referring to the cinnamon buns she wears on her ears?

Right shape, wrong location!

She had ears?

 

[MastiffMike]

She had ears?

I just asked my wife (even tho she's quite weak in the force) and she said she thought that she not only HAD ears, but probably STILL has them! Who knew!

Princess Leia is still alive?? The story took place "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." I always assumed she has been dead for millennia.

BTW, that was my 1,000 post! I think that in and of itself deserves some p0rn!!! So let the lady pics start to flood in!!!!
