Sidious Lightsaber Work In Progress - UPDATE 03/23/13

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

Are you thinking about paint?  Or some kind of plating?  

Looks amazing so far.  How about a blade?  Any plans yet that you are willing to share?  So far you're making me eat my hat, but i'll save the last bite toll the electronics and blade are in.  :D

Yeah, not bad for "impossible" I believe the verdict of one individual was. ::)  It'll get there.   ;)

[Darksaber 3]

Excellent! I have been waiting on here for years to see a good Sidious with sound... And if there is a run... well, this is by far my favorite saber, so I might have to get in on it.

[Jm419]

Hmm.  You thinking about real electrum plating?  That'd up the cost, methinks.

If you wanna go there FJK i'd be happy to pull up a screen accurate hilt pic.   ::)  this hilt is a nice saber and i'll be very interested to follow this thread, but screen accurate?  I stand my my original verdict of impossible without insanely difficult methods of holding a blade.

chrome plating isnt too expensive would chrome plating be an option?
also cant you get different color chrome? it would look the part all nice and shiney

[Corran Horn]

I definitely dig this saber, going to be watching this thread closely.  I also like the wider neck. I think it suits the saber well.

Good job Iggy.

[Jagged Fel]

Nice,I thought this would be a saber to never to be done...and here it is in the works.I guess if you want to do something bad enough there is always a way.
Can't wait to see how this turns out :) Great work so far Iggy.

[C-3P0]

Very nice! I really think that the neck (to me) doesn't look compromised too much from the original, and it's awesome that you can fit a 7/8" blade. I'll be following this one closely :)

It will be shiny one way or another.  ;D

Not quite electrum plating, but I do have ideas for the coating.  :D

[Onli-Won Kanomi]

Quite cool indeed Iggy.

Depending on what material you are using for the emitter you might look into getting it Titanium Nitride finished which can be done in a very nice golden hue...I've seen it used on 'gold' firearms and it can look quite convincing and is very hard and durable.

Always a skeptic.  :P

Alex, have a little faith. Where would we be today if Alexander Graham Bell hadn't invented the busy signal? Or Joseph Cotton hadn't invented the Cotton Gin?  :D

Hmmmm, the possibility of a Sidious with a 7/8 blade? This has me excited for sure because I trust Iggy's judgement and ability to get things done!

While I agree that being patient and supportive of Iggy's foray into this saber, I cannot condone the liable to Eli Whitney, true inventor of the cotton gin, in 1793. ::)

LOL, I know it was Eli Whitney....it was just Caine being silly. I tend to do that a lot.  :D

[Aus_Jedi_Killer]

I think this looks fantastic! EXCELLENT job so far!
I think the 7/8" blade would be perfect for this!
Very eagerly awaiting the next update! :D
P.S. I am a believer and have faith that this can be done :D

Indeed.  I figured it was so, or that your last belt test featured 1 too many boots to the head.  my wife also said there was controversy about the cotton gin being invented by a woman, but as women couldn't legally hold patents, had him do it. 

Much as AG claims that this hilt cannot be done, the controversy rages on here as well ;D
