Whoops. I may have done a thing. And got a little carried away.

I installed SketchUp yesterday (I had it on my old PC but it kind of had zero graphics power... like none.) and made this just bumming around making 2D shapes and paths to extrude and follw:
Image
So not bad for an hour or so given the manual is really not easy (pictures darnit! where are the pictures!)

And then today I now have a hilt in two parts and an emitter in two parts:
Image
Hilt is still being extruded- not at all fun given how things highlight without being able to avoid stuff- like an EtchASketch in a few ways.)

But woo! Ventress lightsabers! And this was after spending a good few hours heatshaping PVC pipe too..
Image
I bruised and burnt myself bending that pipe 180 degrees! And flattening it too...

Everything else on this costume in theory is use of skills I already have, but there have been SNAFUs all over the place...
