The stand will be made from several different types of acrylic, will include a plaque, and will hold the saber within its blade holder like a blade plug.
Please note, this will be open for those who own a Legacy Killer Penny saber. Thereafter, the design may possibly be made available for others who are interested in the design. You may still post your interest here if you are not currently an owner of a Killer Penny, but this will initially be an exclusive design for owners of the saber.
I've come up with some renders of a proof of concept and am open to suggestions for some modifications and selections of colors/materials for the run.
Below are a few pictures of the proof of concept, which is subject to change and I am open to recommendations for suggestions.
Plaque:
(https://s1247.photobucket.com/user/RyanDGreer/media/KP%20Plaque_zpshldbhakk.jpg.html)The parts in red are for laser engraving, which will show in a frosted white on the acrylic. The plaque will either be on a gold mirrored acrylic, or possibly on a clear acrylic with the letters painted in gold or copper paint.
Pommel Side Arm:
(https://s1247.photobucket.com/user/RyanDGreer/media/KP%20Arms_zps6rmld6gi.jpg.html)There are 2 renders I have come up with for the arm that will hold the back end of the saber.
Base of the stand and main arm:
(https://s1247.photobucket.com/user/RyanDGreer/media/KP%20Proof%20of%20Concept_zpslsbvc4fd.jpg.html)The concept is to either have a round base or octagon base with two colors of acrylic layered on top of one another.
Feel free to post your interest here, and if you are interested in a stand to post any suggestions you may have for the design.

Definitely, I've been told the saber is about 3 lbs. so it will have to be a thicker acrylic for the base
3 pounds is correct. Could become slightly more, depending on batteries and whatnot, but at a minimum, they're 3 pounds. I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

I am planning on making one of these as a proof of concept before the run opens. At that point the design will be finalized and I will have pricing information. Stay tuned ;)

Personally I would want that detail on the base and not separate.

It's hard to visualize the KP on this stand. Will the shrouds of the KP extend into the orange circle pieces? Also, is there a way to change these to gold to match more of the stand? While the plaque is somewhat big I'm ok with it as the KP is bigger than the QGJ. Final thought is that perhaps the base should just be rectangular with mirror bottom so that more of the saber is shown.
Thanks. JR.
