Loving the conversion! I foresee a new wave of threads showcasing TWC sonic customisations now
I wonder who is going to be the first, brave/foolhardy enough to risk trying to get to the wires? :lol

Can anyone tell me what's up with forbiddenplanet.com their site does not say if they have stock or not, i have ordered mine and it has been charged, its been over a week and still they haven't shipped it. Cant wait to get my hand on one of these.
I was having problems ordering from FP couldn't get it to add to my basket. Gave up went to BBC Shop. I wonder if there are problems with what the site is saying? Check, delete and re-order elsewhere is my advice!

I took the sonic apart to the extent you can see in the picture. Unfortunately, I did scratch the collar and end piece a little. I had to clean up the aluminium, which removed the anodising. You can see the difference between the head which is still anodised and the rest of the sonic.
I sanded down the body to remove the texture. It’s not very deep and doesn’t affect the diameter much.
The paint I used was Plasitkote colony cream with a gold base coat.

I did it last week. I took off that tiny momentary switch on the bored and soldered 2 lead wires for my new switch. The wires were scavenged from a CO toy.

I meant the wires inside the acrylic tube, the ones that would need to be changed to red/black for a different version of the prop.
I kinda cheated on mine. I wrapped the yellow wire in black shrink wrap then twisted a red wire around that. The red wire being purely decorative.
As far as stripping the head is concerned, pop off the emitter, and you will see a plastic collar that holds the head to the neck piece. Remove said collar and push the neck piece down. It will require a bit of force. but it does work.
