That's one minor inconvenience, having to get to a store just to get those batteries. Since AAs & AAAs are more commonly used and would most likely to have extras of these at home.

Those camera batteries better not be extinct in the future.

I've been working on converting this one to make it look somewhat more like a real prop.

That looks great! How did you do that?

 

[Captain Faramir]

Wow, that really does look nice! It's a really amazing and over-looked prop, especially with those little touch-ups.

Well the lemmet pretty much involves a lot of paintwork, higlights etc.
The handle has been painted to look used and after that varnish is applied.
The pommel and crossbar are painted and scratched as well.

Awsome man. It looks 100% movie accurate.

Thanks for the great replies! Had a lot of work on this one.

Great job with the modification. It does look much lesser of a electronic toy prop now with that aged look.

 

[Seth Gecko]

It didn't really look like much of a toy beforehand but now....WOW.

Estel, why don't you just send that over my way. Thanks.

 

[LOTRFan]

Great work, that looks quite aged!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Looks fantastic!

So, pre-weathering, do these look metal? or plastic? Real? or cheap?

 

[Seth Gecko]

Kinda both, from a little distance looks real when you get up close plastic.
Doesn't matter though for the price it's too cool.

Absolutely - is everyone finding these at TRU?

 

[Seth Gecko]

No idea i got mine on ebay for like 20$ shipped last year. i think ebay prices are still pretty cheap.(i'd pay 30$ easily for this)
