My rebuilt/painted Sonic & Laser Screwdrivers

[Birdie]

While were waiting for the licenced prop replicas to appear, I thought I'd have a go at accurizing my Character Options sonic and laser screwdrivers

The sonic was rebuilt and painted completley. The main body has been replaced with aluminium tube and scaled down to be more in line with the original prop. While it no longer extends, I retained the sound and light effects, and added a larger push-button switch.

The laser screwdriver was a lot less work. I filled the sound holes and seams, added the activator pushbutton seen on the original prop, added the brass strip on the trigger and moved the incorrectly placed rivet details. I then repainted and weathered according to the pics of the original I took in Liverpool.

Hopefully will have pictures of my River Song sonic up soon :thumbsup

Great job! I like what you did with the sonic!

I was thinking of slightly modifying my own sonic and wonder...how do you make the castled peice that on the body to detach? Is there a way to unbond the glue or?

The castled piece is sa eparate piece to the main handle, that they seem to have put a little bit of glue on. I cut the piece off about 1cm down the handle. I then used a sharp knife to separate the seams in the remaining stub of the handle, beneath the castle. You should then be able to snap those parts cleanly out of the castle, as they are only lightly glued.

I think it would be tricky to do without damaging the handle as the seamed handle parts are 'locked' into place by the castles at either end, giving little room for leverage.
