Well, I have my Tusken costume now and I couldn't be happier with it. I finished my Gaffi last night. I used some of the tutorial at stormtrooperindex.html to make it. What do you think about it? Tell me honestly! I can take criticism!
Started off with the Gaffi end from King Jawa (AmAzInG work on the Gaffi ends, cast from a real Fijian war club. Some dowel rods, epoxy, epoxy putty, and some PVC couplings.
I drilled a hole in the end of the Gaffi head to insert the larger dowl rod. Then I epoxied it in place then covered it with epoxy putty.
I then began the process of whittling down the spear end.
I made the fins from a plastic FOR SALE sign. (Thanks to freakengine for the fin pattern.
I Dremeled out slots for the fins in the spear-end dowel rod and used epoxy and E-6000 glue to secure them in place.
Sorry I didn't get any more pics of the build. Here's the finished stick:
I used hot glue beads to simulate welds on the fins:
I used the awesome woodgraining and metalizing techniques found at panzercorps.com
Here's the cheapest place to find the Mohawk paints online:
