my combi stick/spear

[Lflank]

Photos of my finished combi-stick/spear:

I took two cheap extendable "laser swords" and glued both hilts into a short length of PVC pipe. I covered the handle with alligator-skin leather that I got in a craft shop, painted the first segments with pebble-texture paint and then painted the whole thing copper-color. The decorative metal thingies came from a disassembled "alien v predator replica spear", and the spear points are cut from a sheet of metal. I used foamies to make cut-outs on the spear points, and also to place Yautja writing on the staff.

The segments collape down into the handle and extend with a flick of the wrist.

Overall, I like the way it looks.

I just ordered a pair of "martial arts batons"--the kind that extend with the push of a button. I'll try to figure out some way to fit them inside a similar spear so it is extendable.

I'll post later regarding what works (or doesn't work).

Looks good bud, good idea with the construction of it.

Fantastic idea with easily accessable materials! Nice!
