Something I put together this weekend for a friend of mine. The color scheme is somewhat different than the others I have done. I didn't want to do metallic silver again.
This model was made from the body and cap of a Colgate Toothpaste Pump, an medicine bottle of some kind (all I know is that it was green), the brass knob from my ceiling fan that broke, a few plastic and metal greebles, a rubber o-ring, and a metal plumbing retainer. The whole thing is filled with cement and has a nice heft to it.
It's for a woman... so she doesn't have to worry about it banging into...anything tender.

There's a phallic joke in there somewhere. Gimme an hour or two to work it out
Kickass handywork, too.

The rounded emitter does give it a slightly penis-esque quality... but it was just too cool not to use.
As far as lightsabers as phallic symbols... they're all long tubes that shoot out at the tip... I don't think I'm really breaking any new ground here Posted by Nim Pim Pim (Member # 205) on :
The hose retainer is a bit too obvious, iMOP, makes it look like something from a bicycle repair shop. Maybe if the ring was black and the screw remained silver... I see the purpose it serves, though I would laugh my arsian butt off if I saw a Jedi, during battle, who whipped out a screwdriver to manipulate blade intensity.

Neat, though the ring should be black or something so it doesn't stand out so much.
