Darth Maul's Lightsaber

Commissioned by Dorling Kindersley and Lucasfilm, I built this cut-away Darth Maul lightsaber for The Phantom Menace Expanded Visual Dictionary, published to celebrate the release of Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace in 3D. 

It was quite a nice little job and I had 5 days to design, build and deliver the prop, with some very loose art direction from the author of the book. The guts were made with mainly stainless steel found parts, that were sourced from the same company that provided the original Phantom Menace prop makers with parts. Some parts were custom made in aluminium. These were fitted into a Master Replicas saber.
