So..at this point, with barely any money, My dad and I have (over he course of maybe ten years) racked up a meager saber collection. Some are still WIP, some are very inaccurate, but I'm proud of each one.
The Obi TPM was from Big Yellow Box..and an fyi, those directions are a little off, this is what happens when you follow them - you don't get the gaps in the saber.
The next is a custom I made recently: a steel gas line, nuts and bolts and lots of hardware bits I found in my basement, inside of a crappy verizon modem (revenge is sweet!) and from the obi saber project.
Next is a pristine Graflex 3 cell, converted into the ANH prop. I found it on a craigslist in california, a kid was selling his grandpas camera equip and let me name the price. The rest of the parts are from Blast Tech.
The next is a conversion I created using an Obi Wan lights and sounds lightsaber. The neck is made up of copper fittings and a dry erase marker, the windvane from the toy and a lot of putty. The pommel is a slop job I bought off of ebay, and the emitter is a 20 min shopping trip at the hardware store. There are some reinforcements inside (chap stick containers) and 2 of the original screws hold it together as well as putty.
This is our WIP, a Rylo Grenade, real Graflex clamp, real bubbles and transistors from the 70s (though not accurate), a random resin booster section, a real plastic AS handwheel and a fantastic copy of the Derwent Interconnect. The neck, Dan (Anakin Starkiller) cut a type of fin for me, and that is a little ignition tube from some old physics lab equip. the top screws off, I'm thinking of planting the top inside the emitter (even if it takes a lot of putty) So I can just screw it onto the neck (which I filed out hollow for a screw down into the wood core).
Finally a little Obi Was AFBB saber, from the 2004 convention I think?
I'll update this as I build and acquire more!
