Blaster LED's Help

[ecstaticbrick]

Hi, I am creating a Deckard Blaster and wallet display sort of thing as a gift for a Blade Runner mad friend using my 3D printer.
I have the skills to finish, paint and make it look nice but other than a little bit of soldering, I have never built anything electronic!
Please can someone who has made a blaster or has bought a kit please help me with what I have to buy e.g. LED size/ voltage, capacitor size and the battery size or any other info that can help.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a reputable seller that sells the id and key cards that go into the wallet, I am in the UK if that helps.

Many Thanks

Can't help you with the electronics - but if you go over to Ebay and do a search for Blade Runner prop - you'll find the keycards.

Here you go, from my instructions on building one of my model kits:

Thanks, I have had a look on ebay and have ordered the cards

Rich, you are the best and I hate to do it but can I bother you for some more information. It doesn't look like there are any resistors at all in the build, am I right? Can you tell me the voltage of the LED's and can you tell me the battery size as that size looks perfect.

Thanks again.

I use a low light output LEDs to match the look of 1982, none the less they are normal 3 volt LEDs and I use a 3.6 volt battery so there is no need for resisters.

Battery is a LS-14250 type.
