ANH stunt saber base kit
85,00 €
TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI
Machined aluminium kit for the Luke/Vader shared A New Hope stunt saber. This is the pipe saber that ressembled a Graflex and was motorized for the stunt scenes. The first ever saber that we see light up in Ben's hut!
The kits are based on extensive research, participation from people with previous experience, 3D modeling and camera match on the best reference images I could find and a few private photos for extra details, direct measurements and first hand account, for the most accurate possible proportions and details.
All details can be found on the RPF thread:

important disclaimers and explainations:
- this is not an idealized kit. There is a bit of wonkiness here! Red button and glass eye holes are not aligned to the overall shape, tubes were raw and were only wet sanded and wire wooled, some scratches from the raw tubes are still present. This gives a nice brushed and naturally weathered finish, much like the original. If you want a clean finish, you'll have to sand them more. Please understand this before buying, the tubes are not perfect.
- the threaded holes for the red buttons and glass eye are all tested and work but they are very fragile as the threads are interupted because of the tube shape. Extreme caution and calm needs to be used to attach the parts, especially the red button as it will come and sit on the inside core. This is done on purpose for accuracy, but it makes it a bit difficult to attach. Make sure your red button/glass eye threads lines up with the hole threads when starting to thread it in. The threads are thin, interupted and fragile, if they strip because the button went in sideways with force, you'll need to glue them instead.
- if using a rod going through the core for motorizing, please be aware that the glass eye spring will come in the way and needs to be shortened or glue used instead of the spring to hold the glass part in.
- back caps are a pretty tight fit. A bit of sanding (220 grit or so) inside the tube and outside the cap walls will help for a good fit and good glue adherence. I guess most will probably also hold without glue if you want them to be easily removable. A small piece of tape can also be used for a tighter fit to avoid glue as well.
- there are 7 grips on this saber, between 9.2 and 9.4cm length depending on the grip. One is very short and offseted toward the clamp. They are all offseted from the bottom cap and from the clamp.
