Custom, hardware, Sonic Screwdriver

[NakedMoleRat]

I've been asked to make some props for an upcoming independent film. "hint, hint"
This is the first up to bat. I was told to make it reminicent of the Baker/McGanns screwdriver, but not a copy. I was pretty much given liberty aside from that. What do you guys think?

I want to add some more pics but can't link to my server, and I've exceeded the limit here. Shouldn't there be some links to post pics?

Here's a link to a thread on ASAP with more pics.

Thanks. Yes, It's copper fittings all cut and super glued. Took about 45 minutes to make. Maybe I'll do another and make a tutorial.

pretty snazzy...i like it....skott

That thing rocks, man. I'd totally dig a tutorial on that.

Nice.

I've been thinking about doing one similar to this in polished EMT conduit to get the classic silver look, but the copper is pretty cool.

What did you use for the head?

Very steampunkish.

What did you use for the head?

A coupling cut to the right size with my dremel. The "bullet" was the end of a riser? that was cut off at length. A hole drilled into it with a 1/8th inch rod through it and the head ring. The 'bullet' was a bit bigger than I wanted it to be, but when you're scratchbuilding on a budget....

 

[kdawg1]

Yes any info you could provide would be great.

Nice very nice.

Man a tutorial on this would be aweome. i always wanted t o make my own version of this, never really wanted 100% accurate. just would be cool to have something "recognizable" from the show

Nice. Are those actual bullets that you're using for the "bullet" in the head?

 

[NakedMoleRat]

Nice stuff guys. I personally think that a timelord's SS should be like a Jedi's saber, unique to him alone. Keep up the great work.

 

[shuktuki]

i am in the middle of another
this time a modern take on the old ss with a touch of the new
if it works out i will post pics

 

[jedilos]

takes lots of pictures, i am dying to make my own
