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

I can't believe you got 2nd place, that is awesome You should have been number 1 .

Awesome work I hope to see you do more like this. Very cool item.(y)thumbsup:thumbsup
 
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!

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

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...

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.

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?
