Thunderbirds/Third Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver Prop

Hey guys,

Tonight I started rehashing an old project that fell by the wayside.

As some of you might know. The sonic screwdriver prop used by the third, fourth, and fifth Doctor on Doctor Who, was itself actually a re-purposed prop from the film Thunderbirds are go.

When the prop originally appeared in Thunderbirds, it looked like this



And when it first appeared on Doctor Who, it did so in it's unaltered state as a handcuff key


So, since I'm a bit obsessed with sonics, and my collection would be incomplete without on of these guys, I've decided to replicate the original prop as a one piece machined part.

Here's my new model




Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Looks great so far man! Are you making the top communicator/emitter part as well?

I think his goal is to create the unmodified version seen in the Colony In Space before they modified it and reused it as the Sonic Screwdriver prop (latter in Colony In Space). In it's first appearance it didn't have the ring and cone emitter.

Anakin has an interest thread for this in the junkyard and yes it is a solid metal version of what was seen in the Thunderbirds episode. I really hope this gets done as I would also love to have this in my collection.
