Scratch build wand

Building a scratch built wand - a few cast resin parts and not 100% accurate , but then neither is my pack … LOL

its gorgeous!! you should feel very proud!!

Wait until you get some paint on it, it will look even better!!!

Thanks - gonna add some basic lighting and switches ect. … Trying to figure out what to use for the clear tube at the barrel end - and maybe a quick release for the hose as it goes into the handle , for ease of transport , as it will be easier to get into an armor tub for safe travel. - this is a lesson learned the hard way , thru 25+ years of trooping with the 501st

Were you working from plans in putting it together, or more gauging it by eye?

I was inspired by a vid on YouTube - but the design is kinda my own - Was kinda just adjusting stuff to fit the junction box I chose as a base - I know it’s not accurate at all but it will look good when done - I hope

This is the vid series that inspired me - https://youtu.be/lRGl_6lEFU0

Cut outs have begun

For your clear tube, you would be amazed at what you can find, just by keeping your eyes open while you walk around a dollar store, or any home improvement store… i saw a kids bubble wand with fluid container, that if you cut off the ends, would work well for what you need. There were different colored ones also, if you wanted a custom look! :slight_smile:

Also, if you want cheap lights,find an electronic sword or gun at the dollar store toy aisle, tear it apart and use the insides. They are full of blinking leds.:slight_smile:
