Now I had a 9th doctor style one...but my costume is eighth doctor. So I wanted one that fitted that style. I looked up every tutorial online. Taking the elements I thought I could achive...basically anything that involved tools like drills was out.
Version 1
I started off with a lip gloss - the kind with a colour and a clear protective gloss on the other end. The one above I'd had for years...I tend to do that with makeup as I don't wear it often. Anyway firstly I got some enamel paint, the kind used for airfix kits and painted the centre where the brand name was....then I glued a copper coin to each end to make it stable enough to stand up.
Voila! One sonic screwdriver...or sonic lipgloss maybe? ;)
Version 2
This was made using a glow stick pen thing I got for 99p from 'the works'. Initially I painted a base coat of white enamel paint.
Then once that had dried it too 2 coats of silver paint. to stop the light showing through.
I made a leather 'grip' which I glued on by cutting it out of an old bag. Then glued on some red beads and other bits off the same necklace I'd cannibalised for the 1st sonic.
I then painted the hand grip and glued a botl and bead onto the end of the sonic.
Voila! Finished. It even lights up. The glow stick had differnt light modes so it looks more like its actuallly sonic-ing stuff. lol!
Very impressive! You re in good company too - the Jedi handpiece in the later movies started life as a lady shave :)
