RBD's handmade entry, all finished. Glam shots and outdoor comparison beam shots.See last post.

Reminds me of the VERY old school pistol lights produced 100 years ago. Check out the flashlight museum for idea’s?

Good luck with your build Rufusbduck!

I was thinking of Bugs Bunny’s Martian nemesis and his ray gun. I googled Buck Rogers and went from there.

Marvin the martian. I thought futurama when I first saw it. Looks like your getting s good start

Exactly!

It's going to be a fantastic build!

Can’t wait to see more! This gave me a boost to start working on mine today.

Great work! Its nice to see the process more in-depth and the tools used!

But WOW! And here I was thinking I’d build something, this already makes me want to crawl under a Martian spaceship and await annihilation upon take-off.

Subscribed.

And enjoying BBC-261L immensely!

Now how silly would you feel if you didn’t make a light and I couldn’t make this work? There’s quite a bit I haven’t figured out yet and may be unable to do.

Another great build, with lots of tricky bits to figure out.

…I still think that using the drill as a ‘lathe’ is cheating…. j/k!!! :slight_smile:

Im my view being creative is cheating, but I’m an old fool. Keep it up guys. Just thinking out aloud, an old spinning wheel could be a lathe. Is foot operated tools out off boundaries? Just kidding. :slight_smile:

LOL, I have the parts gathered but am already stumped. So I’ll be back here at the back of the back trying to get it together day of the deadline. :slight_smile:

No promises I’ll even get it to work, as this is a first attempt. But what the hey…

please tell me your using an aspheric lens and a blue led?

SUBSCRIBED!! :heart_eyes:

Add some fins and propellant.
Edit -Oops! Comment was meant for DBCstm’s thread.

I’m in awe, Sir. You’d get my vote in the prelims.

I’m hoping to get rid of a very large amount of propellant with no serious side effects! Ever hear a .50Cal go off? Imagine an Oxygen/Acetylene tank explosion, that what it sounds like when the neighbor touches one off next door.

Great project, and nice job on the handle. Waiting to see whats next out of your bag-o-tricks.

New pics in op.

Speechless. Your actually going to pull this comic book light off. You are a genious.

Looking great! Looking forward to seeing how you initiate the trigger into a switch and also the emitters you use. :wink: Or are you planning 3 cells to run a whopping MT-G2? Hmmmm……
