So i'm working on Deathstroke's combat staff.
I started this project a week ago and now i've almost finished it.
I designed the whole thing on fusion 360 taking references from game pictures.
Than i started looking for the best materials i could use.
I decided to make a wood internal structure with aluminum parts over it. I chase an aircraft aluminum alloy due to its strength and lightness.
For the carbon fiber parts i tried to wrap on the wood some carbon fiber but with no good esthetic results;
so I'm gonna use some di-noc carbon fiber like film which is much cheaper than real carbon fiber and easier to work with.
The aluminum tubes were machined to get a perfectly straight cut.
Some parts were to expensive to machine so i decided to 3d print and cast them with a polyurethane resin.
This is a costume prop but i'm also making a real combat staff made with carbon steel and carbon fiber tubes.
I'm planning to make other staffs and sell them, so you'll see one post on the junkyard soon.
