R2D2 Fett's Blog

This is just to post updates on my various projects, like my full sized R2D2, my Han Solo in carbonite, my Boba Fett, Yoda, C3PO......AND the finishing of our basement (and home theater)or anything else that I might think is interesting enough to post.

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. :)
