This is one I've been meaning to do for a long, long time - a comic accurate Nomi Sunrider lightsaber. I never thought I could make it happen but things lined up perfectly. I found a used empty Mystic Knight hilt from Rebel Sabers on eBay for cheap, got some grip tape, and ordered some parts from Vire Sabers to change out the emitter. It's running a Xenopixel core. I need to customize the sound effects a bit but I'm super happy with how it turned out. The CG image is taken from an ancient website found by a friend of mine via the Wayback Machine. It looks like an interpretation from the comic panel. I took a few small liberties with the design but I think it's pretty accurate.

Inspira Designs Compatible Parts?

I recently bought a lightsaber off eBay that's made by Inspira Designs. It looks as though the threading on the parts isn't compatible with LGT or VHC parts. Does anybody know of any existing parts that are compatible with Inspira Designs sabers?

Selling my Katarn/ Rahn Dark Forces II Lightsaber, installed with Golden Harvest. I think it's a GHv3. As for the hilt, I've lost track of which version this is. It's originally from The Custom Saber Shop but it's not the most recent version of this hilt. The chassis has a crystal chamber, but after a tumble off my display shelf the crystal broke out. The accent light still works, and other than that the entire thing is in working condition. Battery is included, blade is not. I can show a demo video upon request. Asking $400, willing to ship outside the US. Please feel free to ask me any further questions. MTFBWY~

Tracking Down an Image Lost to the Internet: Nomi Sunrider's Lightsaber?

This is a bit of a weird request but my search skills aren't returning the results I need. Ages upon ages ago there was this website I stumbled across with a collection of lightsaber hilts, half of them canon, half of them fan created. I think it was a homebrew resource for some kind of Star Wars pen & paper RPG. A few names stand out: Ottar Doneeta (written to be an ancestor of canon character Tott Doneeta), Quel Drin Fal, and even Col. Sanders. Yes, that Col. Sanders. The images were all CG and featured a couple paragraphs of character bio to accompany them. This was way before the current canon or even The Clone Wars. Hell, it predated Episode II.

I ask because the gallery's take on Nomi Sunrider's hilt was rather unique. I recently found a hilt I want to customize into that particular version but for the life of me I cannot find a trace of this website. Does anybody here have any idea what I'm talking about? Is this jogging any long-slumbering memories in any of you guys? Hopefully somebody can give me something to go on here. Thanks a lot, gang. MTFBWY.

May the 4th Be With You All! Every year I try to splurge a little on at least one thing to celebrate, usually a lightsaber. I've been working on this one for a while now. It's an 89 Sabers Vader Episode III hilt that I converted to be closer to the hilt displayed at the Barbican Museum. I designed and 3D printed the box and dome greeblies myself, had the d-ring block custom made by someone on the RPF, and had the install and clamp card provided by my good friend The Saber Merchant. It's running a Proffie 2.2. Very simple install, no major gimmicks like a crystal chamber. Super happy with how it turned out. Since it's not a 100% accurate replica of the Barbican though I'm calling it the "Barba-Kinda."

So I'm 3D printing a full scale Alan Scott Power Battery replica for a client right now and it got me thinking - has there ever been a scene in the comics where Alan had no choice but to charge his ring on a standard GLC Battery, or vice versa? Like has Kyle ever tried to charge his ring on Alan's Battery? I know Alan's powers traditionally come from the Starheart so I wonder what would happen in either of these cases!
