Marv Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have just managed to get my hands on a nice original 3 cell Graflex flash unit as I'm entertaining the idea of making a ANH Skywalker saber. Has any other member done this, could they recommend any good sites that detail the build process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xingshen Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) http://www.therpf.com/ http://www.thecustom...om/Default.aspx http://www.partsofsw.com/ http://www.fx-sabers.com/ Howdy! I've seen some on The Replica Prop Forum. The Custom Saber Shop has parts for both static and active versions. The Parts of Star Wars has a nice write-up about the screen used version as well as a template for grip placement. The FX-sabers are really cool with built in crystal chambers. I've got a dueling one on my workbench I need to finish one of these days. Are you doing a static or active version? The static prop is pretty straight forward with grip material, D-ring belt hook and some calculator display "bubbles" added to the flash. The active model that lights up and has sounds, effects, etc.. can get pretty elaborate. Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction. -Graham Edited August 7, 2011 by xingshen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't possess those skills. I gotta say a big thanks for the response guys, I've now got plenty to read and mull over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Here is my Graflex, finally arrived: I'm now curious as to how anyone has previously attached the grip to one of these, using plastic and not rubber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
