LDM's Celestial Sword - TFP: Star Saber BUY TF PRIME - CELESTIAL SWORD This is a completely show accurate weapon for TF Prime Voyager Optimus Prime. This is the legendary Star Saber, featured in season 2 of TF Prime. Wield the power of the Primes with a weapon that towers over Optimus himself! The sword and handle separate and will fit into the 5mm hands of any Transformer. The blade measures 186 mm in length and is an imposing sight for any Decepticon. This model has been successfully tested in WSF and FUD! PROGRESS REPORT So as my very first TF project I wanted to try my hand at making my very own Star Saber from TFPrime. I started at the beginning of October, and through trail and error created a finalized version of the sword. The model was vector traced in autocad from multiple high resolution screen captions. It is 99% accurate to what was actually in the show! I then had several prototypes printed, adjusting for size and level of details (trying to accommodate the 3d printing process while still keeping the details) The sword it available from Shapeways.com if you are interested in having your own. This weekend I gave a shot at painting one of my older version (I've never painted before!). I plan to paint my FUD print with a transparent blue blade so I can have both a normal and "powered up" version. I still have to seal this version of the sword, and give it a gloss to make it match Optimus a little more. If anyone does decide to get one printed and paint it, I hope you'll post a photo here to share! ~LDM
Thank you. I don't have the PRID version, but it shouldn't have a problem. The handle is made for any 5mm hand. My Breakdown can hold it no problem.
I think I just saw this on Shapeways. Looks so much better in Prime's hand than the digital references shapeways gives. Now, I have a better idea for scale too.
Yea, the ref file just shows the sword and handle printed separately. That way they can plug into any hand.
This is one sexy model. Is this in FUD? If it's WSF I am pleasantly surprised. Good work man, I've been following this since the beginning and your progress has been great! Congratulations!
That one is WSF! Gave it a sealing coat before painting and it smoothed it out! Thank you for all of your help! I really look to you as the Shapeway master and appreciate all the time you took to give me advice!!
This looks awesome! Could we get pictures of the back with the sword attached? How'd you do it? How much! ...I probably should go back and read your post--cool pictures of this amazing power of making you skip text
I don't have the picture studio up still, but the following image shows the back of Prime. I just pull the back flaps out, slide in the sword and they hold it in nice and snug. I am glad you like it! Click the shapeway links, the prices are listed for all available materials .
Oh, okay, thanks. Didn't notice the link in your post--cool pictures, man. Cool pictures Go here: BUY TF PRIME - CELESTIAL SWORD
this looks totally badass. Gotta talk my wife into letting me get 1 now lol. Since this turned out so nice any chance you'll be doing meg's sword as well?
Apparently, the coolness of this project caused me to stop being coherent in my post I hope he or someone attempts to make Megatron's sword and his "Prime" arm (skinny fingers and all) as it needs to be done.
