Okay then! From the top down...
CANON Y
-Emitter is a greeblie construction
-Shroud is a failed attempted at 3D designing something and having it printed via shapeways. Turns out that flipping it over made it a lot cooler-- as did hitting it with wrinkle-paint.
-Knob is from the original canon flash head
-the rusted flashing that covers human Earth words was cut from a chipboard tube that was inside of the flash. After years of being curled it fit on there perfect. I painted it black, and it flaked off but I decided I liked the worn look.
-Canon Y upper body
-Canon Y clamp
-Clamp card is half of a red board from the custom saber shop
-Other half are some sections of Pinewood derby car weights I got at Michael's
-The lower half of the body is a separate 2 cell flash called a Nicca. Go back a few pages to find my first Canon Y to see the saga of trying to find a lower half. Basically, there's a knob threaded internally into the base of the Nicca, which then screws into the base of the Y.
-The end cap is from a part-trade with @
ScottD. I think he said it was an early attempt by parks or somebody at an Obi-Wan pommel before accurate measurements were available. The Nicca top (now my bottom) had threaded m/m piece connecting it to the flash head. I attached it to the pommel with a washer and a bolt, then just screwed it onto the saber
-T-track grips
- tiny bits of chrome and texture tape
And the X
-Emitter is a blade holder from the custom saber shop
-Upper body is a Canon X, painted black with wrinkle-paint
-A Heiland mini-bulb release is mounted on the back
-Greeblie screwed into the cable socket
-Canon Y Clamp (used the X clamp on my first Y)
-In the clamp is a bit of circuit board from an old calculator, and covered by bubbles from a Parks replica MPP clamp
-Lower body is a flash extension. It's basically doing exactly what it is meant to do-- lengthen short flash units.
-Couple o-rings
-T-track
-texture tape
