#StarWars #Vader #Tutorial
A few months ago, I made a book nook featuring Vader in the hallway from Rogue One. I used an LED filament from a high voltage lightbulb to create the lit lightsaber effect. This is obviously quite dangerous so I waited until I had a safer, low voltage option to put out a tutorial for you all. Many of you asked, so here it is. Thanks for your patience! I hope you enjoy and go on to make little lightsabers to your heart’s content.
These lightsabers are at the 1:12 scale which will fit with Bandai figure kits and 6” Hasbro Black Series figures. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and I’ll help how I can!
