Man I sometomes wish I could make great quality props. All it takes is practice and patience. The graflex replica I made today was made from nothing more than four stainless steel pipes, some duct tape to make each pipe fit into the next, and superglue to hold it all in place. I only used a hacksaw and a small hand file to get the S Shape of the emitter shroud, and made the emitter ring from a section of the same pipe as the outer body by cutting it so it was a C shape, then cooked it in the oven at 290 degrees C for an hour, then used gloves and pliars to bend it around one of the thinner pipes till it was the right shape All you need to do is plan in advance, and take your time
