Not bad for a day's work?

[tanzanlinnear]

As you may know, I've decided to do a 'Battle of the Heros' themed painting for an art competition, which has required me to make sabers like Anakin's and Obi-Wan's. Naturally, I was not going to shell out for a proper Graflex unit for what might wind up getting completely ruined, so instead, I decided to make my own from some assorted stainless steel pipes I had knocking about. I used four different diameters (although the 3rd pipe was purely for bulk rather than appearance, unlike pipes 1,2 and 4) I can't do any more now till I order a conversion kit to complete it, but after about five hours (on and off) work, this is what I've come up with...

Certainly, although some of the piping I used was stuff my fiance salvaged from work, the basic shaping, I can talk you through with no problem, but the actually tiny detail of the inner emitter might be impossible to recreate. I'll write up something that should come close though
