I just have to figure out how to do the
lighting effects. As in the above image
it detracts from the realism a bit when
a beam doesn't cast light on surrounding objects.
The sabre beam is just colored lines and a bit
of photoshop smudging, looks pretty good though.

If you want a real beam of light, i know of thin neon tubes that might fit
the bill.  They sell them for radio controlled cars and are powered by a 9v
battery.  it should be the appropriate size for your gundam and cast a nice
glow to the surounding objects.

I can't remember the manufacturer but you might find it at your local hobby
store or on the web.
