Not as clumsy or random as a cardboard arc checker....

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing

...an elegant laser arc checker...from a more civilised age.

But... but... if it has the cut-outs and the rivets in the grips, then it should have the circuit board thinger, not the bubbles... and... and...

No, this is cool. A little unwieldy, I would think, but very cool. :)

Got to say, that's actually pretty **** cool.

As to the entire "is that Ben's chest" thing, now you've mentioned it I actually wondered what happened to all Ben's stuff when he left Tatooine. Who knows what kind of cool Jedi relics he might have had knocking around in his cave...

According to the new Canon (the Star Wars comic books), Luke goes back to Ben's hut to retrieve his Jedi notebook and also finds the extensive collection of Malastair porn Ben was using to while away the long Tatooine nights..

And this is VERY cool, by the by. What did it cost in component parts to make? You might want to consider putting one for sale up on www.Etsy.com

Price is....formidable. But with a lower quality replica a lot of money can be saved.

(Speaking if quality, the other fella is right about the bubbles being wrong, but I've yet to find a circuit board that's accurate to make the change.)

For what it's worth, I found an old Super Nintendo cartridge at a thrift store and cut the board from that for mine. It might take a while to find a clean one and it won't be completely accurate, but it was cheap and easy and looks pretty decent.

Where can I buy one?
With purple Samuel "MOTHERF#####" Jackson colouring

I would see what's out there for not over the top priced mace windu replica... Deblade it..replace the blade holding guts with a 5 dollar laser line tool and slap a blue cellophane over the emitter and see how purple it gets.then...find a trophy store that does lettering and have them put ' bad mother ******" on the handle.

Similar lightsaber box I never see anyone mention...

Wow that is cool.

A bit big and clumsy for my taste but very cool all the same

Well done
