    Mar 27, 2009 - Any custom builds? #1

    You all do amazing work replicating well known props, but I was wondering if anyone has come up with their own designs just for the hell of it even though nobody would every recognize it or see it? when i was young, before i knew people like you existed, i would do this. I didn't know others found it interesting.

    I made this recently for the blaster builders club competition, Aliens inspired mostly and a sort of 1 armed small minigun
    Mostly made from MDF and the usual junk from the parts box !
    theres a lot of other custom builds done over there too.

    Here's a custom saber I built out of hardware and a motorcycle grip 12 years ago. It was the first prop I built completely from scratch.


    EDIT: Wow, I just thought about it, and I built it 12 years ago to the day!

    That looks like you updated on the Ghostbusters PKE design from The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters cartoons.

    Figured I'd dig this back out and share some of my custom propy goodness...
    Sorry for all the large-ish pics...


    Here are a few of my lightsabers... all hardware stuff...







    This was my very first... hardware only with ZERO power tool use... just parts and glue...





    And this one built in under 24 hours as a personal challenge...





    A custom made ghost trap - built from off the shelf parts and a little wood...








    Custom PKE meter...









    A custom blaster I made for a blade runner contest...






    A custom 29th century tricorder... This one still beeps when the upper buttons are pressed...






    Custom Star Trek engineering tools...


    A custom firefly pistol that is still a work in progress...


    And for big time giggles... a model Firefly that I made using one continuous piece of duct tape simply by folding it while watching Serenity... Mucho brew involved on this one too...

    Let me quote again this to "promote" (shameless) my thread (made just to develop and show off custom and "inspired" builds...)

    P.S.
    Thanks for the link jackdoud!

    I could have sworn that there was a "Show off your custom built lightsaber" thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I found this the other day and it made me laugh. The last few times I dressed as a Jedi(no specific character) I just carried my ForceFX lightsaber. But this is one that I started building for a Halloween party. I had limited time and an even more limited budget, and I never really finished it. Now it's a little embarrassing, but I can't be the only one who has come up with something like this before they knew better.

    I did a couple 50's style custom rayguns. They're on my website:

    Hey Prototype 7, your luke-ish custom looks great (first posted picture of beveled one with black button band) what sort of stuff did you put inside the emitter/body?
