My son picked a rocket bat as his melee weapon of choice for his Mechanist cosplay.
I had originally decided to use a light weight aluminium bat as the base but after finding out these were a banned item for the con I had to scratch build a bat.
The bat is 50mm plastic pipe with a metal tube as the core. The tapering and top are car body filler. The end of the handle was 3D printed as were all the other parts.
We decided on a Nuka theme for the bat and gave it the Nuka Slammer on the saw blades, I will be adding barbed wire to finish the bat.
The rocket engines have bright flickering LED's installed.
Thanks for looking
