Cyclone posted this up on TB, thought I'd share it with you:

click me

And an example...

[an0n]

The Maelstrom is the best.

How come that link comes up in the same window? Shouldn't it make a new one?

[Redfang]

Avenger...
 
Nice lightsabers.

[Martinus]

Of course everyone knows that a true Jedi builds his own

[Nuclear1]

I have no need of any lightsaber!With this sword, I shall smite you!

[Dark_4ce]

You know, I also built my own lightsaber out of metal and everything! It resembeled more of Darth vaders lightsaber, and it didn't have any lights whatsoever, anyway my older brother wanted to borrow it for a Halloween party one day. I never saw it again. *sniff*

So Now, for my next daring project, if I ever actually get started, is to build something more harder to lose or get stolen. STORMTROOPER ARMOUR!!!! Gonna try and get that through as my university art project or something, becasue its the only place that has all the equipment I need!

[an0n]

Make it out of lead lined kevlar plating, coated in a nice thick white teflon coating. If you did that it'd probably be able to take a rocket impact without a scratch.......You'd be cooked of course, but still, yer armour would live on.

[Vertigo1]

nice, but the blade needs to be much thicker.  Atleast as thick as the hilt itself.

Heheh, glad to hear there's another RL model making nut around here. Stormtrooper armor is very well documented on the net. If you need any info on how to build it gimme a shout and I'll show you a few links

Needless to say you would need to be comfortable with vac - forming.

And be sure to post some pics of the project as it comes along!!

Bah, if you want swords then this is the only one worth any consideration:

[an0n]

There's some place that sells Klingon Dk'taags (sp?) and Faith's knife from Buffy. I'll have to look through some old Computer Shoppers to find the advert/address.

[Martinus]

Blades are all good and well but you'll all be in trouble when I get my particle thrower built

Ghostbusting on halloween night should be fun

[an0n]

Pfff. Nothing beams a home-made microwave mortar. It flies up in the air, travels miles, falls, hits the ground, emits a massive EMP and microwave pulse powered by it's industrial capacitors, irradiates everything within about 50m and then it either smushes or it explodes. Now THAT is a cool weapon.

[Dark_4ce]

I'll just stick to the old trusted and faithful pea shooter. With my Stormtrooper armour ofcourse!

[Gortef]

Here's a sword for you

Actually, Looking at some of the more common sites on how to build the armour, I could almost start next week at home if I wanted to, the only thing is building that vacuum forming table! Where the hell can I get a shop vac from?! Or do you think I could use my home vacuum cleaner? Cause I don't want to go buy some new super vacuum machine from the shops just for me to make some armour!

[Martinus]

Shop vacs are not a nessicity but a household vac will make life interesting. You need to work very fast in order to get a good mold. Don't ever expect to get it right first time, it'll take a good deal of practise

Still, good luck it's something that I considered but I chose to build a proton pack instead.
Perhaps next year...

BTW A 'shop vac' is an american term just in case you're not familiar with the term. It's an industrial vac from a wood-shop. It generally will have a few motors for greater suction than a normal vac. If you have a dyson that would kick ass since they're pretty powerful.

Pfff. $200 toys for grown children. I dunno. Maeg's is cool, but that's because he BUILT the damn thing, rather than just going and buying a flourescent lightbulb holder. I'd be really impressed if he found a way to get his weapon FUNCTIONAL, but as it is it's pretty good.

If I want something long and sharp, I'll stick with my machete, thank you. If it was good enough for Che, it's good enough for me, and besides it doesn't shatter on impact.
