Here are some progress pics:

Using some construction paper I got a rough idea of the size and shape I needed for the sleeve


Test fit the first sleeve size...it was okay but I changed the measurements 2 more times to fit in the hand better.

More progress!

The pieces all painted and ready for trial fitting


The display panel that I printed onto a transparency was still to transparent so I had to reinforce the black area with some opaque tape and cut out the hex holes so the light would shine through. So it now consists of Transparency (top), White Diffuser(middle) and Light blocker (bottom) stacked on each other. It worked well.


Closer look at the molded hotglue endcap that shall serve its purpose. Its not pretty on close inspection but I'm good with that.

Still have a little bit of painting to do on the center accents on each end since they are a contrasting flat color. So I'm thinking of painting them flat black to more match the screen used one.

Thanks!

Now the final pics






The stand is from a Master Replicas Darth Maul Lightsaber Replica that I bought a full size stand and top for instead, so now I'm finally gonna get some use out of that stand! haha

Thanks again.
It really wasnt that bad making it. If you can fold paper and use a ruler pretty good that was the main skills I used.

Just about anything can be made out of paper these days it seems. I had a lot of fun with it and it came out better than I thought it would. So the appreciation of it is...well, appreciated! Haha

Yeah, I have had that disc for over a year now. I got the Soulinertia disc mod kit which makes it super easy to complete. The batteries were kinda wore out in that shot. When new one are in it's REALLY bright.

That's awesome!! I knew I couldn't be the only one who used hot glue to mold parts. X-) so you got that flashlight at Lowe's? That's genius! I don't even have the Spinmaster baton so I am going to try making this. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Thanks! Believe it or not I'm actually about to run down their and look X-).


*EDIT*

I'm back! and sure enough they had it in a box near the front of the store. I'm off to well.. do what you did. :-)

I'm trying to resist making one. It looks awesome.

Truth be told, I'm trying to resist just getting one of those flashlights. In part because I would definitely carry it attached to my thigh, and I don't want to A. have to explain it, heh, or B. figure out how to attach it (magnets in all my pants? lol. A tactical holster wouldn't do).
