I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to make this (http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Darth_Eradycus/saberhiltidea.jpg) as a saber hilt for me, up to the hand guard. I'd like the emitter to be the same size as the hilt, not like the hand guard as shown. If it's not too much trouble, I'd like it to be able to use all the blade color crystals and be upgradeable. It can have just the normal stats. Thanks, in advance!:)

That picture is pretty tiny.... Got one that actually shows you some detail?

I'll try to find another pick, but the websites that have that sword don't have a better/closer picture of the hilt. I tried cropping it and resizing it with photobucket, but for some reason it only gives me the original pic. hmm let me try it again. it's on http://www.unitedcutlery.com/products/united/uc1259.html) or http://budk.com/samurai-3000-ninja/p/46%20UC1259/c/6025/)
Edit: I've contacted the website to see if I could get a better pic of the hilt. As soon as/if
I get one, I'll be sure to post it. Sorry I didn't put one in there to start. I do have it on good authority that I am indeed a dumb@$$. :)

I have pictures of the hilt that are much better than that.

PM me if you want them.

That particlar series of swords are also part of Oldflashs Final Touch mod.

Edit: Hey, DE? Did you like the pictures i sent you? I'm pretty damn sure that one or more of them would work for you.

Well, after a few days of PC problems, here's (http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr286/Darth_Eradycus/Samurai3000Ninja.jpg) a better pic, courtesy of Darth Payne. Also, Oldflash has given permission to use this sword from his final touch mod if you would like to.

It's not entirely accurate, but decent reference pictures are a bit thin on the ground. The texture needs a little tweaking, but it's mostly done:

Haven't compiled the game mesh as yet.

Initial in-game test:

If you want it in all colours then the easiest option would be just to have it as a default hilt replacement. Your other option is to have it as a custom hilt using a custom blade texture which you can change to whatever you want via a swap in the Override folder.

Hey, I remember seeing that sword in one of my catalogs! I always thought it would be cool as a lightsaber.
