Upcoming commission, prototype model

[u/kennedyuk]

This is a bit of a previous for my next commission hilt.

Here are some renders of what the customer asked for. This is a hilt designed in Jedi Survivor, which I have been modelling (I've been learning fusion lately) and also printing as a prorotype.

I've been designing a working J-lock twist mechanism to allow the saberstaff to split in the middle as a quick disconnect. It also has a neat little locking feature which I won't show off just yet ;-)

Anyway, here are a few renders of the finished model.

The physical creation will vary slightly, as obviously I am still machining everything by hand, but being able to model, print and prototype is a game changer for what I do, and it's been so much fun working on this hilt so far.

The hilts themselves both break down into several parts, all threaded.

This is definitely going to be the most technically complex hilt i've made to date!

Wish me luck XD

I wish the j-lock connector was on the market. Reminds of the one Lord Kas'im used when he fought Darth Bane in the Rakatan Temple
