Just an update on the flashlight build for the 2022 Pattinson costume - The source light and the belt clip are the only things that have been possible to truly I.D. in these months since I posted about them.
The lens shroud, though yes, it looks like a thick worm-clamp (Jubilee clamp et al), there isn't a diameter or thickness that matches this (that I'VE found). I've been down the road of rifle scopes, camera lens adjusters and all sorts of other things. If anyone truly has an idea here, you'd make my year by letting me know, but trust me "It looks like a worm clamp." isn't gonna cut it.
The section that covers the barrel could be anything. I've made it here with EVA foam just to check the dimensions out etc. It goes around one of the smooth spots that they have on either side of the barrel. I put it on the side where the "coast" brand logo is, after sanding and painting over the logo. The belt clip is pretty generic and I need to fasten it down using something else besides my pin vise to drill the screw holes.
Not the sexiest piece of Batman gear, but I wanted to give a progress update.
