I'm looking for 6" scale lightsaber blades like the ones that come with the Black Series figures. I've searched cursorily and not found anyone making them. Anyone have any idea, or know of any materials that could be fashioned into the transparent colored material?

Are you just looking for the blade or the hilt as well ??
You should be able to buy just some clear or colored plastic rods , i have a couple different colors myself .. I know there are many colors available try a hobby store i guess , or a model shop . |

Yeah, I'm mostly just looking for the blades. I've unfortunately moved away from my main hobby shop, and the trip is about half an hour now, so I don't get by to browse that often. So you say you can get colored rods? Would these be transparent, like the lightsaber blades, and would you get them at a hobby shop or are they available at craft shops like Michael's/AC Moore etc?

My recommendation would be hobbylobby on line, as they seem to have more model stuff in their physical stores. There are also several on line model shops. Plastruc and Evergreen make styrene stock, and they have clear as well. They probably have clear rods that could be painted with a translucent model paint. Tamira has a range of translucents. Also, you can get clear casting resin so you could make mold of any appropriate size rod, even have the tip sanded or the hilt on it, and the clear can be tinted so you could have a red tinted blade, and then paint the hilt. Or, just do the blade and glue it to the hilt. All the craft stores sell clear resin and mold making silicone, but you might have to hit hobbylobby or online for tinting. Or, cast in clear and paint with translucent.
