Some time ago I inquired about how to make a curved saber, and after a few trys I figured out the best way to do it. I had to do some lathe work and some custom shaping before I heated it and then finalized some of the details. I got this idea from searching around and seeing the "StarKiller" saber. I loved the large open crystal chamber part about it but didnt want to replicate it as so many others have done. So i put the open chamber on the top of the saber, then curved it. I wanted to make it also look Armored so it has a few un needed layers to it giving it that look.
The color scheme I chose was a black chrome, silver like and a candy purple for the mid section stripes. Once put together (loosely) I used a black satin and powder coated the underbelly of it making it look as if it was held over an open flame chairing the surface. I still need to install the PRIZM soundboard and re tap the screw holes (powder coating sort of gunks up the previous threads) then it will be done. I will post the finalized pictures in the next week or so, but for now here are 4 pics showing how it looks.
I may scuff it up a little to give it a bit more of a beaten look but im not fully sure if it needs more.
