Light sabre Construction

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good source for lightsabre parts to make a prop for a fanfilm I am trying to make?

I have searched all the usual places B+Q etc but they just dont seem to stock the parts that I'm after!

Any Ideas?

 

You might check out the Costuming & Props board for ideas. Plenty of lightsaber threads over there!

 

You should talk to Darth Lars too. His lightsabres are awesome.
I have a couple that he made.

He might have some ideas.

 

carboard from a kitchen roll wrapped in tin-foil?

 

nice idea but unfortunately its got to be quite battle worthy - toughness wise

 

although i was joking when i said that, i have done that before.
I wrapped it up in tin foil.. made a blade with the same stuff and wrapped it in green wallpaper

then loads and loads of sallotape

 

definately might be worth a go just to see the look of it
