Force Pike

Post by Cybermew3 »

Hi all,

As FP aren't making pikes at the moment, what do you think about this one from CP?

http://custom-props.com/products/life-s ... uct_id=332

I heard that someone out my way actually makes a really good looking pike but want to leave any options open in case I don't hear from them.

If anyone can recommend any other places that make a really good looking ROTJ pike, or if you think you can make one and post it to Australia, I would love to know. Rather give money to the community than the store.

Feel free to PM me with names of companies etc..

Thanks heaps!

That looks great...the only issue is that ROTJ pikes have a spikey thing at the end, not a ribbed thing. I've yet to see an aluminum pike with the proper end, only homemade ones with the proper end.

Yea I thought that would be the biggest issue :( I will wait to see if I can hear from the person out my way in australia who makes a good one.

I've read all the guides and the only problem is I have to translate it to australian stores :( I'm sure I can by searching through the hardware stores but yea that spiky part eludes me, as does the skill to get it all right! Should probably try though :)
