Show your custom Lightsabers!

Reveal innards are done. Parts list is too extensive/random to list it all, but the major parts are an 8mm camera lens, a ribbon cable from an early 2000s candybar phone, hard drive motor coils, battery contacts from various old flashes, a quartz crystal, a green aluminum boat light, and tons of soldering lugs. It's mostly held together with glue, and I weathered it with Testors flat paints and a pocket butane torch (really). I really freaking love this one.

I like this (a lot) better than the actual prop.
 
Bit of an off the wall request -- does anyone have any spare Canon X or Y battery packs? The metal canisters that slide out when you pop the bottoms off. I'm in need of multiples, and don't want to pay the going rate for the flashes just to get the packs.

Thanks!

I have these two. The metal one was out of a Y, the full plastic was out of an X (I'm guessing you probably wouldn't want that one?)

It's sad that $80 is cheap for a Canon these days, too : /

You aren't kidding. I found a complete Canon X with leather pouch and accessories for $100 and thought I was lucky indeed.

Now that I've got three of them, I _think_ I'm done collecting Canon flashes....

Thats a lie. I knew it as soon as I typed it.
 
I think this flash handle pairs really nicely with the balance pipe emitter
