Lightsaber curiosities

[OdiWan72]

Hey all

Just wanted to show you the "redheaded stepchilds" of lightsabers

Most of them are still a WIP, as I´m either waiting for some parts to arrive or didn´t have the chance to make the add-ons yet. Anyway, here they are...who else shares my love for these FUGLY sabers, huh?!

Good work!

Hat mich immer gestört dass gewisse Teile stiefmütterlich behandelt wurden.

I say get rid of the first two... and sell me that Kobold. But I am loving that barbican and ANH stunt. AND who doesn't love the other Graflex button.

I know I do...

This was from a few halloweens ago... and I didn't get the emitter ring the right size. I'm liking your white button. What did you use?

It remembers me of a desk lamp push-pull button....

my ANH stunt doesnt have any emitter ring yet. Instead I used the bakelite part of some heiland guts.
The push-button came from a lot of vintage electrical parts, still have a few left

I'm a huge fan of the Barbican and the wacky stunt sabre! I'm in the process of making the shared Luke/Vader stunt too! I just got the knurled red button.

Did you see my post about the differences between the thin-knurled red button?

What is that crazy mashup second from the top?!?! I've never seen that one.

It´s a saber that was featured as Darth Vaders lightsaber in a TV interview. A long time ago, someone posted one or two pics of this weird saber and I cobbled it together to confirm the kobold-bottom theory. Still have to paint the emitter tip black IIRC.

I´m sure someone saved the pics. I did for sure, but can´t find the damn files anymore :unsure

Yep, read your thread and find it very interesting.
Always nice to learn something new ...has been pretty much the same on my end, when I learned, that there are DOZENS of different Hensoldt&Wetzlar scope variations out there. I own(ed) about 10 over the years and NO TWO were the same :confused
