Classic Green Lantern's lantern. Anyone build their own?

[Matches Malone]

Has anyone here tried replicating Hal Jordon's classic Green Lantern lantern (bazinga)? This is the Trophy Room Green Lantern Battery Prop that DC Direct made for reference.

I made one for my husband for xmas. You can look at the photos and the build if you search for this post Green lantern power battery

I'm actually in the middle of building one of my own.

I've bought most of the materials that I need to start on one. Just need to get a couple more pieces and find time to do it.

Here's mine, built from an 8" christmas ornament and plumbing parts. John Deere green paint, IIRC. I built this one several years ago for a hardware prop-building contest that had something like a $20 cap on parts. I've been wanting to build a new one with some refinements, but just never got around to it.

That's great. Did you rig it to light up too?

I knew you would be replying in this thread with your power battery. It's amazing!

Thank you. No, the budget cap on the contest didn't leave any room for lighting. I've been wanting to build another one, and that's on the list for additional features. It will have a smaller sphere (6" versus 8" in the original), the handle will be thicker and fixed instead of swiveling, and it will have two lenses and shrouds, with lighting. I'll get to it when I have some free time (HA!).
