Finished my staser! For reference, here's one of the original staser props from Deadly Assassin.
Gather the materials: 1/2 inch acrylic, tiny co2 cylinders, aluminum pipes, lamp power switches, red duct tape, red cord, printout of original prop photo.
Suit up with mask and safety goggles while cutting aluminum and acrylic. They both produce nasty fumes and dust. Acrylic also wants to melt every 2 seconds despite using a jigsaw blade designed for cutting plastic. Discover that my cheap dremel won't work on acrylic. Use hand files to refine the staser shape (didn't get pics of that because i was too busy listening to Gallifrey while filing).
Spray paint the black sections and the red co2 canisters (after ignoring the warnings and puncturing them so there's no actual compressed gas in the build).
I forgot to take more progress pics but here it is all glued together!
