I can't wait to see this done. Don't just make it pop open though, if you have time to work on it make the spinning claw feature you mentioned in the sonic creation history article on your site. I can't imagine exactly how you would do it but it would be amazing to see the original design vision of the prop brought to life.
Something I have always wanted to make is a modified version of the 11th sonic. So seeing as Im taking a small break for Christmas I am going to make myself one. I spend far too much time running a business these days and really miss messing around in the workshop getting dirty and making cool new stuff. So I asked the CNC machinists to knock me up a set of sonic parts all out of aluminium. I have cast some resin bits up from blue with white and black swirls and also ordered some of the etch marking paint you can use on aluminium on the laser cutter. My plan is to etch some Gallifreyan symbols on the aluminium legs and end cap, I have a few spares so hopefully it should go Ok. I have not used the etch marking paint before so it will be a bit of trial and error. The white handle part I'm thinking of casting out black and the leather handle will remain in black leather. I may mess around with the shape of the beads inside the cage and may add some detail to the extending shaft. One thing I would love to do is add an activation button to extend the sonic and have it extending the full length like the first couple of sonics I made.
Lets see if I get the time to make it, watch this space!
