Luke saber....90% done!

I glued on the grips (made a bit of a mess of it), attached the d ring (I cannot TELL you how hard it was getting a nut in there!!!), and slipped in the bubble strip. It was tought to get the D Ring placement to match any of the replicas or prop photos I could find..but I did find one pic that showed the ring in relation to the writing on the end of the saber (graflex info and patent number) so I used that. It seems a bit off compared to the pics but I had to base it on soemthing.

I had to order the missing button at the top online so I dont have it yet. The only one that seemed like a good quality and decent price has a screw on it..which wont fit the 2 pin hole so I have some dremelling to do and I'll have to glue it in..but for $8 vs. $40...I can live with that. :)

Small little project

I got this kit on ebay....Im sure it's obvious what it is for...

Now when will my Graflex arrive?!



Oh I also TRIED to make a Luke head. I had a life cast of his so I added the back of the head by using a styrofoam head, then covering it with clay. I attempted to sculpt ears, painted it, added a wig and eyelashes. I dunno..they clay just keeps cracking (and wood filler I used to fill the first cracks) and falling off. I may still try to get a cheap voice changer helmet and make it the Luke head in Vader mask as seen in the cave on Dagobah in the Empire Strikes Back.
