User blog:LBK10/Some building advice, please

Recently I've had the idea to make a custom LEGO Star Wars Lightsaber Whip. I am thinking of using the whip in 7571 The Fight For the Dagger, but is there any other piece that you might reccommend instead, ? Also, whatever piece I do use, I will need to color it so it is either orange or blue. Please reply if you have any ideas!!
