The 11th Doctor's Sonic Cane

[the DOCTOR]

Having watched TV's 'Doctor Who' on saturday, I thought it might be nice to make a Sonic Cane like his.

So, having a spare 11th Doctor sonic, an old pool cue, a 60mm plastic sphere and a long weekend to hand, I thought I'd make one.

Works just like the one on the show, only real difference is mine has a taper, whereas the one on TV was straight.

It's a little bit fast of a and dirty build, and the four part ball section needs some fine tuning, but it'll do for now!

 

[Billy Cranston]

Gah, you beat me to it. This was the first time I saw a prop on any show or movie and thought, "I can make that!"

Where did you get the sphere and how did you quarter it so cleanly?

 

[Angelus Lupus]

Brilliant! I just knew someone would make one of those.

 

[Kingpin]

Wow, you've definitely won the award for "fastest build". After seeing such a fine prop I was also tempted to build one, hope you're able to provide tips for painting it silver and attaching the ball quadrants.

Shame the rest of the episode was a little bit "meh".

 

[CJ 617]

That's fantastic!!! A great build and so quick too....

 

[BrotherWilliam]

Speed props! Nice work.

 

[mahood]

Very nice! Does the button on the side open it up too? Looks like a release button for an automatic umbrella...

wow thats brilliant! i want one btw i think the doctor used the middle of the cane to emit a light.

 

[davidnagel]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear - someone actually made it!

Well done but "sheesh" what a lame excuse for a prop (that isn't aimed at you, its aimed at Moffett!)

 

[HeroWorship]

Great build man! Not to mention the speed at which you completed it.

 

[Organic Mechanic]

wow thats brilliant! i want one btw i think the doctor used the middle of the cane to emit a light.

He did.

Also, the cane was straight with a heavily tapered tip.

Those things aside, this is still a great build, and wow was it fast!



On a side note, this is the first time, out of ALL the Doctor Who stories that I felt the Doctor was over reliant on his sonic. I mean, he loaned it out so he built a new one...for a simple scan...while he was dying? :unsure

Didn't the Tardis spit out his first screwdriver in the first episode?

Maybe she thought he needed something more fitting for the occasion!

 

[RDimension]

I'm attempting to make this prop, as my first prop making project!

I was just wondering if you could impart any knowledge or tips on the creation process?

 

[Sundowner]

wow that was quick! Nice work man!

 

[Primrodo]

Great job!

 

[Andy]

Immediately after this episode I knew this item was prime material for a buildup here over the next few weeks but I'm delightfully astounded it came to fruition far sooner, stellar work sir!

 

[kevinericon]

Wow that was fast. And the outcome is pretty good. I like your nail polish too.

 

[the DOCTOR]

I wear nail polish now, nail polish is cool!

 

[Oblivion]

Fantastic. I want one :angry stamps foot like spoilt little brat !!

not sure whether it make any sense, but i whip something out to compliment the cane...
