How To Make a Green Lantern Ring

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the halloween-is-coming dept.

Malfourmed writes "Step by step instructions for making the ultimate comic book geek jewelery — Green Lantern's power ring. Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner and Alan Scott variations all included. Now someone find me a Katma Tui or Arisia to go with it, and we might just have ourselves a proposal!" The bigger problem of course is that there's no battery available to charge it, so it's just costume jewelry. Anyone have other good costume ideas?

    At least add a LUXON UltraBrite green LED in there in order to qualify for a ./ frontpage...

    Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!

    Of which we have none. The article is about how to make an investment casting. The web is full of them. The library has shelves of books on the subject. I've shown grade school kids how to do it.

    This is Slashdot; I was really expecting (hope springs infernal) an article, however shoddy and silly, about how somebody put an LED and lens into a ring to make it give off Green Lantern's light.

    ebay has them for under $10. Some even with an LED.

    Of course they gouge you on the shipping.

    I'm sorry, wouldn't it still be costume jewelry even if it were battery powered?

    Unless I'm mistaken, the only way it wouldn't be costume jewelry is if it actually gave you superpowers.

    (Or actually had jewels in it I suppose.)

    Slash dot has really slid into uselessness for the most part, and this kind of article is a great example of the crap I have been seeing of late here. Slashdot, clean up your moderation, your quality of articles.

    Why in heck cast something out of silver that you are going to paint?

    What the hell? I thought the whole 'Street Cred' thing was total crap. Now there's Geek Cred?

    If someone really feels this need to prove their self to some sort of community through 'cred', they need to get a life...

    If someone is putting presure on them to do things for 'cred', that person needs to realize that those people are not their friends and are just using them...
