Man I am so glad someone used my name on this thread, otherwise I would have never found this! I actually had to go back and look at my original photos to find the build pics. I was entry #18, and I built my sonic from "nurnies" I had around. Sorry about some of the blurry pics, but my auto focus didn't work right. So long ago...I think I made the lower parts from a cord support or stabilizer. The middle is some cyno glue caps, with a toy gasket I think, The metal parts are something I found at an electronics surplus store here in LA, The front was more cool brass washers and stainless parts I found at hardware surplus places. On the tip I think that's a couple of radar dishes from Model Railroad parts I glues together and of course i used Blue LEDs for the lights. As Luck would have it I had BARELY enough room to fit the battery compartment in the center with a switch I had from a toy I think. Thanks to all who voted for me. (if anyone did at all, I can't remember)
