Help with Sabre Pike - The Sniper - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 Another weapons project, this time a Force Pike as used by the Shadow Guards in Star Wars Force Unleashed, which is my next costume. Does anyone know how to make a handle like this? I've been searching everywhere with no luck, I may need to have it custome made on a wood lathe. Sniper RE: Help with Force Pike - TheWolf - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 If you like, I have an old Surf fishing rod you can use for it... As for the handle, perhaps ask Ray about a aluminum one? RE: Help with Force Pike - redpaint - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 Another option might be a pool cue for the main part, and just add some greeblies. RE: Help with Force Pike - Tachyon - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 Not sure what the other guys in the states use, but have you thought about finding the correct diameter and getting PVC pipe cut to length? That way you keep the same width to the pipe the whole way up the Saber Pike. Then you'll need to add the greebs and grips separately. Where did you get the template for those grips? Doesn't look accurate to me, check out forcepike.net. Also, This is a Sabre Pike, not a Force Pike. Edit: That template looks more like the lower grip for a TR Force Pike. I think you're after something different for the shadow guard. RE: Help with Force Pike - Vepariga - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 yeah im thinking pvc pipe or maybe even aluminium or wood for the pike,since its a consistant length. still unsure on what to do for the saber though,be good to lock it in place,like the pvc sleeve idea i think will work good. RE: Help with Force Pike - hopfot - Tuesday 15-Nov-2011 I can help with the blade, but I currently have no experience with saber electronics.

I was thinking of using PVC for the main body, PVC greebles and a ultra saber for the saber. I have 3 days off this weekend and will be looking at it then. RE: Help with Sabre Pike - stormraven - Wednesday 16-Nov-2011 I am very interested on how this turns out as a Shadow Guard is ( just ) one of my future projects I would like to do. Just wondering if you would be doing it with armor ( sans robe), with soft parts only ( like royal guard ), or a combo of both? RE: Help with Sabre Pike - Tachyon - Wednesday 16-Nov-2011 I'm fairly certain, to be canon, thus approvable, you need the armour as well. Quote:Force Unleashed: Shadow Royal Guard RE: Help with Sabre Pike - The Sniper - Wednesday 16-Nov-2011 Thanks for writing that up Tach. I've put my name down on an interest thread, see below. http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66959 Due to the heat, I'll probably go without the outer robes, but will see. I've only thought about doing this in the last week or so, so only in the research stage, getting ideas and playing Force Unleashed. I like the idea of a royal guard with armour and a "sabre" of sorts. RE: Help with Sabre Pike - Tachyon - Wednesday 16-Nov-2011 Trust me, you'll want the outer robe. You'll look odd when you're next to other guards without it. Plus the outer robe is an iconic part of the guard costume. You could get it and wrap it around your arms, as is accepted combat dress for guards. But your armour, go with what you like. Just my RE: Help with Sabre Pike - hopfot - Wednesday 16-Nov-2011 Yeah, I would go with the outter robe. But go with a design that you can throw it open over your shoulder like Carnor Jax or Kir Kanos do in the comic Crimson Empire. :P RE: Help with Sabre Pike - Vepariga - Thursday 17-Nov-2011 Like this RE: Help with Sabre Pike - The Sniper - Thursday 17-Nov-2011 I'll get the outer robes and wrap it around like the pic that Vepariga posted up. The Shadow Guard is all black, armour, robe and everything alse, apart from the red visor right? I'll be going through the forums on the weekend. |
