    Canon on the ANH versus ESB lightsaber Changes ?

    Hehe, for me Lucas bashing became a side gig when he destroyed the ANH negatives instead of enshrining them in the Library of Congress where they belonged... jerk. The merchandising following ANH was historically significant. The world will never be the same. Not that it's all bad. The Mouse at...

    Lol, Brilliant! I guess the only limiting factor is the length of the negative leads, as long as they reach you're golden. Thanks, man!

    Forgot to turn off the Tribble I got at the Las Vegas Star Trek Con a couple of weeks ago. The thing freaks out at loud noises, lol.

    Yeah, I know Matt (BR12819) had the same idea before I did, with the same blank pistol (link) , but I don't believe he completed his. I know a number of CA Bulldog builds were completed but, to my knowledge, this is the first (and perhaps only) documented blank-firing BRB/PKD so I'm calling it...

    That's awesome, man! The new blank pistols (or at least the Zoraki one that I used) are "front fire" with the pressure going unobstructed through the barrel. I had Teddz drill out one of his excellent steel barrels and it works like a charm. Not going to try anything but blanks with the donor...

    I found the PFC pistol discharge to be a tad anemic. The blank pistol sounds like a .380 because that is what it is. A .380 with no bullet. The gas pressure is really not an issue, since the pewter side plates are screwed into the steel frame and swing-out arm of the blank pistol. They aren't...

    Ok, I won't bore you guys with tales of my ineptitude and woe, I'll just show you how to do the wiring the right way. You will make the wiring setup look like the picture in the online instructions here: The slide switch powers the central pin (MUST be connected to the positive of the 12v...

    Thanks, man! It's my new favorite object ever made. :)

    Wow, I made that WAY harder than it needed to be. Write-up to follow, first the beauty shots :) : So to answer the OP's original question, you can indeed incorporate a Zoraki blank pistol into a Sidkit build. Easy-Peasy. ;) Guys, thanks for reading and helping and being so freakin' awesome.

    Step 0 if you are doing your own lights for your Sidkit build is GET EXTRA LEDS. Hard stop. You'll need 3mm green and red and 5mm red. I was pretinning the red LEDs, one slipped out like I squeezed a watermelon seed and it no longer exists... just gone, man: I did decide to take Noeland's...

    The new green LEDs finally arrived: LEDs replaced and tested... check!: This is the first time this build has had the left side greebly attached... very cool :)

    Stupid "careful what you wish for" cliché. When Gorilla Glue is improperly cured ( :/ ) it swells up and JB Weld does not. JB Weld claims, and I can affirm, that it can be drilled and tapped. When cured it's slightly softer than the pewter itself. When I affixed the forward trigger it is now...
