I've got one the Darth Vader Master Replicas Force FX lightsaber. Great quality metal hilt for the price and very cool effects. It is a shame they are OOP. I have enjoyed many drunken duels in the dark with my brother (with his Obi-Wan) and once outside the pub with a very excited child!

I'd have to build mine myself. Buying one would feel like cheating

Sou you want be true Jedi.

Haha, fair point!

They do have some talented sculptors there. Not sure I like the real material clothing though, I mean whats next glass eyes , hair, synthetic skin? lol

5 minutes in, single-piece split moulds!

Nice!

On a related note: I'm glad we don't make stuff for people as anal as movie uber-fans....

Two-part moulding video. No mention of possible problems using platinum rubber with water-based clay, but he doesn't appear to have any. Same rubber I'm using but he tints it.

Despite already being pretty experienced with casting techniques I actually found that quite interesting. Sometimes it's just nice to get confirmation that professionals like that do things the same way as you do

Yeah, nice and reassuring

I watched a video of a very talented artist sculpting at the Zbrush summit recently. He was demonstrating his approach to sculpting hair and fur. It was almost the exact same process I have developed over the course of this year; same tools, same workflow! Very reassuring.
