Before I resort to kit bashing, is anyone aware a manufacturer that produces 28mm scale lightsabers? I've got a couple Frostgrave plastic wizards that would make good Jedis and just looking for a suitable weapon. Did my best to search Shapeways but that site is a pain to search!!! |

Given that every lightsaber seems to be unique, would it be cheating to just use swords and and paint them in extravagantly bright glossy colors after having matted the figure? |

I'd get some of that neon-colored, clear rod from Tap Plastics, and just paint the handle end suitably, before/after gluing into the figures' hands. |

I've used Thresher01's technique for Star Wars miniatures (I'm at work, or I'd post a picture). They have red, blue and green rod -- or did when I made my lightsabers. |

Toothpick (the round kind) and knife, then paint. |

With every lightsaber being different, I'd just buy either some toothpicks or fluorescent plastic rod and cut down a sword in hand. |

Star Wars Heroclicks. They are everywhere. You can get a lot of them for 50 cents. Cut the hand off, glue it on your figure. Done |

Hasselfree also has plastic rod. |

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll try toothpicks first and then customising plastic weapons before I look at commercial options. |
