Custom Props
This page showcases other props that I have made. It will display everything else in the Star Wars universe that is not a costume or a lightsaber. This includes things like electrobinoculars, food capsules, comlinks, blasters and droid callers.
Jedi Food Capsules
After seeing The Phantom Menace, I decided that I should make some of these items
to place on my belt to add more to my costume.
Jedi Comlink
I really liked the comlinks that Qui-Gon Jinn
and Obi-Wan used in Episode 1, so I ran right out and picked up a Gillette ladies razor.
There is a push-pin, finishing nails, craft beads and assorted other greeblies
from the bins at Lowe's.
Civilian Comlink
This was a piece I made a long time ago, but never put on the site. I have added it now.
It's a really simple item to make, and to be honest was sort of made as an afterthought
during one of my lightsaber construction projects.
Electrobinoculars
Another product of my overactive imagination. This item was conceived while walking down
the aisles in the Wal-Mart toy department. I am VERY pleased
with how these turned out and have had many people comment on how cool they look.
Republic ID/Data Card
In my mind, every being in the Star Wars universe would have to have some sort of ID card
that would allow them to prove they were who they say. This is my personal interpretation
of that item. I see this card being and containing a lot of information. It would include
medical history, credit information, act as a debit card, as well as provide information
on piloting certifications and such. This was a simple one night job that required a blank
circuit board from Radio Shack, some laminate and a color printer.
Blaster Pistol
I based this prop on a water pistol. The barrel was drilled out, and a new barrel made
from a pickup roller from an HP LaserJet printer was added. I gave the whole think about 4
coats of silver paint, then two of metallic black. I then used sandpaper to rough it up a
bit and give it that used, worn look by sanding down to the silver. The scope is a carbon
dioxide sensor housing that was given to me by a friend. Finally, I added a few little
"greeblies" to the whole thing to give it some character. All in all, I think it
looks pretty cool.
Droid Caller & Restraining
Bolt
Both of these items were weekend projects. The droid caller actually makes the little
buzzing sound that Luke's made in ANH. The droid caller was made from the leftover stuff
from one of my lightsaber projects. I made a quick run to Radio Shack for the electronics
parts, and off I went. The restraining bolt was made from leftover tube from making my ESB
Vader lightsaber replica. The electronics on the bolt are purely decoration and do not
function in any way.
Battle Droid Blaster Rifle
Alright, so this isn't a custom, but it was a really easy replica to create. This was done
using a Hasbro Battle Droid Blaster toy. A quick repaint of the orange parts, the removal
of a sticker and a sanding away the copyright information from the pastic and this is what
I got!
