My Tennant and Eccleston Sonic Screwdriver Builds

Anakin Starkiller · 12-20-2011, 11:13 AM

Hey guys,

I recently got a new camera, and I thought I'd start breaking it in by firing off a couple shots of some of my recent Tennant and Eccleston sonic screw builds. Please do not share these pics or re-post them on any other website.

Wowzers! Top notch! I was thinking I was looking at the original props at first and then I realized there were no comparison shots and this was all your work. Bravo!!!

Anakin Starkiller · 12-20-2011, 11:23 AM

Thanks. That's the best compliment I could get.

greatwazoo42 · 12-20-2011, 11:25 AM

There's an Aussie saying I grew fond of years and years ago: S'truth!

...and in this case it sure as heck is. Fantastic, Anakin. Well and truly fantastic!

rollerboi · 12-20-2011, 01:24 PM

Those look AWESOME. Forgive my lack of knowledge, but are these your own hand-turned pieces, or is this a buildup of someone else's kit?

Anakin Starkiller · 12-20-2011, 02:00 PM

My own make. Thanks

Rassilon · 12-20-2011, 02:23 PM

Anakin what a brilliant build,

you shore do have some talent on the lathe and mill, oh and the camera work is not bad ether.

Would like to see how you went about doing you crackle finish, as some of the members including my self,

could do with a hand in that part.

Looking forward to seeing more of your excellent work/builds.

phez · 12-20-2011, 04:04 PM

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Those look absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Primrodo · 12-20-2011, 04:13 PM

Wowee! Very nice job!! These look really great!

Anakin Starkiller · 12-20-2011, 04:19 PM

Thanks guys. Now that I finally have a decent camera, it feels good to get some of my props photographed and displayed so that I can share my work with the board.

Organic Mechanic · 12-20-2011, 04:27 PM

Those really do look good Anakin. You should be most proud of what you've done here.

Zendragon · 12-20-2011, 06:19 PM

Damn! Very cool. I am jealous of your skills

karstva · 12-20-2011, 06:37 PM

Whoa..looking good, excellent work. I am envious of your skills.

Straker · 12-20-2011, 08:17 PM

Wow, that is some excellent work there!

Anakin Starkiller · 12-20-2011, 11:28 PM

Thanks so much guys. These have been a long time in the making. But I wanted to get them right.

shdl · 12-21-2011, 01:24 AM

Looking great! Crackle finish is really superb

greatwazoo42 · 12-21-2011, 10:20 AM

I keep hearing how the crackel paint is a royal (female dog) to get right. Did you have any problems?

omegax80 · 12-21-2011, 11:57 AM

Very cool. Very very cool. Have you made other sonic screwdrivers?

DarkJedi1500 · 12-21-2011, 12:10 PM

Looks good but I am confused. Are the pictures of one screwdriver or two? and is it the 9th or 10th doctor's?

Anakin Starkiller · 12-21-2011, 12:18 PM

Wazoo- Yes. The crackle finish on all three was a pain. I had to re-do each one a number of times.

Omega- I have an 8th Doctor's screwdriver I've made, and a third, fourth, and an eleventh Doctors' versions that I'm working on.

Dark Jedi- There are three sonics in the apove pics. The top and bottom are Tennant season 4 sonics. The middle is a version used by both Tennant and Eccleston in season 1 and then 3.

backof · 12-21-2011, 12:53 PM

Those really look sweet.

I may have missed a meeting, but what paint is used for the crackle finish? what color?

Thanks.

jedibugs · 12-21-2011, 01:30 PM

Very, VERY nice, sir! Excellent work.

Anakin Starkiller · 12-21-2011, 02:40 PM

The season 4 is a base of light grey. The two top coats of perfetto crackle glaze and clear crackle (watered down to get a smaller crackle pattern).
The Aztec sonic is a base of grey primer (only semi dry) with a very light coat of american accents cream crackle top coat (if you're in the UK use plasticoat cream topcoat).

theobeau · 12-22-2011, 04:18 AM

Hello,

Great looking sonics; they certainly look very accurate to this lay observer.

In regards to the crackle question, what implement did you use to apply the perfetto crackle size and clear crackle?

The cracke size is a b****r to apply; quite hard to get the right thickness of the coat.

Cheers!

Love the 9th/Aztec sonic, very nice..hell they are both amazing.
