Fired up new PC Thursday night, started this a few hours later. Simple surfacing this AM, will hopefully get back to it soon... Not happy with the forms yet, will take a good bit to get down. More angles and such to follow as I can :-)

Nice work on the utility belt. I'll have to stay tuned to see what this project of yours is. It sounds like it's going to be cool. With stuff like this going on, it promises to be well modeled.
So, having been unemployed for 16 months now (some might say underemployed instead), the image is a thank you to folks who stepped up and helped me fund a new machine. part SW, part my basic attitude towards life, in other words, smart-ass alert.
The topology for the saber has me thinking it's going to be rebuilt over the long term, I've got to get to other aspects of the image (about 3 dozen in all... down to full blown skeletal and anatomy/muscle systems...) so it will be some time.
Expect wireframes of the saber at some point... Aspects of the saber are tricky enough, but elements are incredibly tight and of course, many interior and outer corners that run edges to perfect circles, or are on curved surfaces, or are in many ways not going to play nicely for one looking for good surface control, good topology, and good accuracy.
Sigh....
Thanks for the comments thus far e_g_180! Momentum is a great help....
Reworking the mesh. Since it's all subD, there's a good bit that I'm not happy with... might be time to take advantage of pixar subdiv and use some weights, but... dunno... frustrating!

Anywho, having said all of that, I think it's looking great.
