Hey guys,
I wanted to show you my custom riddler's cane.
THis was a prop I wanted to make a little different from all the riddler canes seen around. So I thought about make a cane that had the body of the question mark lit.
I worked with some idraulic pipes, clear acrylic pipes, brass tubes, 326 color match smooth cast resin, an acrylic round bar to convoy the light of two 1W power leds and a battery holder for those small lights that have the circular 3-AAA battery holders. I made the question mark parts out of sintra, then I molded the middle part and made two halves in order to put inside the acrylic round bar, because I've found out that if the bar was embedded inside the resin, it would not let the light travel inside the bar.
I then used the lathe to make the bottom parts of the cane, and cut some circles off some green transparent acrylic with my laser cutter.
Everything was then painted with metallic yellow to resemble the gold finish.
It's been a fairly quick build, even though the lighting part was a bit of challenge. The light is switched on through a button on the bottom of the cane. The same button can be unscrewed to get the battery holder out so you can replace batteries if you want.
