Wow. Go Noob! That's quite a spread. Lets have a little background on the construction. Do they light up?

Your Graflex replicas are nice, but I'm most impressed with your Yoda. What did you use for the grips in that?

First let me say thanks to everyone,Im glad you like em...Now to answer your questions...First to eastern57,no unfourtunatly they do not light up,the two Luke coppies are made from 1 1/2" sink tubes for the body and clamp ring,1 1/4"sink tube,and film canaster for the emiter,aluminum for the switch box and emiter leavers,the circut board from an old N64 game for the switch,some cheap buttons from radio shack for knobs,and it took some looking around but I finaly found this great floor mat from a local auto parts store for the grips.The saber at the top was built pretty much the same way aside from some O rings,thumb screws,and PVC skeleton...To stinky bantha,they are made from PVC,O rings,plastic thumb screws,and the best chrome spray paint Ive ever seen...And to darthfender,The yoda was made in much the same way as the Luke sabers but for the grips I used some 1/8"(I think) foam sheets from the crafts dept at waly world....Like I said before Im glad you like em,I dig allot of the sabers Ive seen around here as well.
