Lego Lightsaber 2.0

May the 4th be with you! </nerd-asaurus rex>

One of the most popular things I ever built, and also one of my personal favorites, was my Lego Lightsaber: katze316.deviantart.com/art/le…

I always wanted to make more of them, but never did on account of the facts that a) they require copious amounts of fairly uncommon pieces, b) they are extremely difficult to make sturdy enough for anything other than glass-case displays, and c) I didn't like making lightsabers that had all of the internal workings exposed. However, as today is May the 4th, I decided to try again; with great success! Literally the only two things I'm not 100% pleased with are the gaps where the cover plates didn't quite line up, and the nozzle. I even managed to actually mount a focusing crystal in it!

...OMG I'm such a nerd.
